Torvik - Rising (Intro) Lyrics

When I pass by they aint craning their necks
When they talk low they aint saying I'm next
They don't see much when they look through their specs
They don't see nobody writing my checks (Whoa)
God but I know that I'm blessed
I just say "hell with the rest"
I used to wear shirt and a vest
Now its just Ye's and a bill on my crest (Yeah)
Get no respect
But still demand attention and they give it
Best believe I say the words I live it
You know I turn these tables like I'm livid
Loose canon but I keep it all together like a rivet
People counted me out like a lost digit so i'll sit here
And fidget with rigid fingers on the piano keys playing till they start to bleed
No need to flex
No need to flex on em
I just want shoes with the checks on em
I just want luxury
I just want passion, no drudgery
I want this to slice like its cutlery
Beat is so smooth yeah its buttery
Music hits deep like its punching me (Yeah)
I'm not in the conversation
But I know that I will make it
I'm rising, I'm rising
I have learned from what I've been through
Coming up its just the intro
I'm rising, I'm rising
I'm not in the conversation
But I know that I will make it
I'm rising, I'm rising
I have learned from what I've been through
Coming up its just the intro
I'm rising, I'm rising
Every time I look around looks are coming my way now
Everyone that hated is trying to do it my way now (Yeah)
I'm rising, I'm rising
Started at the bottom and fought my way out the pit
Now I'm going higher and everyone looks distorted (Yeah)
I'm rising, I'm rising
I cant go on if I keep holding on to the things that weigh me down
Letting go of the pain and the shame and the need to play games I'm ready now (Yeah)
I'm rising, I'm rising
Not the best or the brightest, not even the slightest, a little uncomfortable
I can't even describe all the voices inside that are saying that I should fold (Yeah)
I'm rising, I'm rising
