Rise of the Fallen Video (MV)

Yerrrr!
The rise and fall of a mortal man
Even with a plan in hand you don't stand a chance
Willing to fight pick up a fighter's stance
When you fall from grace know how to land
The ways of the world could put you in a trance
For the love of money people do a rain dance
By any means is what they preach until they brain dead
Play the odds there ain't many with a sane head.
Sheep follow the Shepard the same grain fed
Bounty's plentiful still fighting for the same bread
Blind leading the blind in time blame spread
Now paranoia got y'all jumping off the same ledge
We share similar origins but different ways led
Same cloth but not stitched with the same thread
Thru the pain maintained and kept a raised head
You crumble under pressure clear we ain't got the same edge
Leaders supposed to lead that's what the page said
Even the best of leaders could have a stained cred
Be observant don't fall victim to the paid pledge
All our leaders get assassinated by the same Feds
Make you think that we were better if they played dead
We played possum long enough that's what the greats said
You could still have a dream that's what the my fate said
Find the light inside ignite and let the flame spread
Rise, like a leaf in the sky, thinking of beating the odds
Fall, no one to call, slipping get weak and ya fall
Rise, fighting the times, keeping ya eyes on the prize
Fall, notice ya flaws, feel like ya hitting a wall
Rise, long as you try, everything starts to align
Fall, come to a halt, progress is starting to stall
Rise, apply your mind, only get better with time
We rise and fall, to come up is what we all searching...for
These closed doors could leave us all hurting
Too busy looking at the door don't see the window's open
Don't want what's in our face we gotta look behind the curtain
Truth is
Behind the curtain isn't even worth it
The best things in life are often found upon the surface
Financial gain can ease the pain, but we are never certain
We'll rise for sure, but we'll fall if we don't find a purpose
Rise to the top, or sink to bikini bottom
Too many dark nights got me thinking this is Gotham
Plotting, watch him maneuver the hardness like a Rocket
Waiting for the joke to past, somebody screaming got'em
We ground our expectations, not knowing we could fly like eagles
Please do, everything needed, to lead to
Freedom of mind, freedom from lies
Freedom from prying eyes that are plotting our demise
Demons in disguise
Rise, like a leaf in the sky, thinking of beating the odds
Fall, no one to call, slipping get weak and ya fall
Rise, fighting the times, keeping ya eyes on the prize
Fall, notice ya flaws, feel like ya hitting a wall
Rise, long as you try, everything starts to align
Fall, come to a halt, progress is starting to stall
Rise, apply your mind, only get better with time
Rise from the insanity
My people crying people dying it really saddens me
Did it on our own or are we victims of brutality
My people looking to the sky asking why are you failing me
Have to make a effort it don't happen automatically
Lost our history we use riches to fill the cavities
Want to fill the void we need a different kind of Alchemy
Be one with your anatomy, defy the laws gravity
Channel sacred ancestry
We Rise like Harriet
Valley of the kings and queens this is our golden chariot
Elevate your mind, or die and bury it
Words to move the soul to find the light and marry it
Throw away your pride you will fall trying to carry it
This is knowledge of the Gods cherish it
What good is all the accolades you have no one to share it with
Don't cry about how fair it is
We all rise or fall, no in between or variance
