Rise Above
[Intro]
See, because sometimes
A lot of times
Things just don't happen the way we want them to
And that's just how it gets down, bro
It's how you get down with the get down, brah
So basically, this is how...
Uh...this is...
Yeah

[Verse 1]
All my life, I've been a miserable child
All my life, I've been a miserable child
See, my mom was too busy to help
And my dad was nowhere to be found
So in the misery, ya'll, I was stuck with no way to escape
People tell me, "Take a drink."
I'm like, "Eff no, I think I'd rather take a blade"
And pierce it through my own heart, cause my life is so hard
What am I even living for? I'm just a clumsy retard
With no talent or skill. Bet you if I got killed
Nobody would even notice, they'd just think I'm laying still
Or maybe I'm exaggerating. Sue me if you will
But I learned any weak person can take their own life
Because it takes strength and guile to carry on and fight
So every night, when I lie and close my eyes
I keep in mind, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't I
Who made the decision to push forward within the times
[Hook]
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but I had to rise above
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough
Believe me, it's never easy, but you gotta rise above
Yo, 'tard. I'm Bogard; Power-freaking-Wave
I can do anything I put my brain to, man
You put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it
Put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it, and go

[Verse 2]
I'm volatile cause I'm always pushed to go the extra mile
Even when feeling despair. And they whisper evil in my ear
I forced myself to become hearing impaired
Man, I never cared
Final result of a social experiment gone wrong: A million tears
Wish I could cry, but I won't. Just want to give up, but I can't
Gotta get back up and I test my luck once more cause I'm the man
Do you not understand I'm the man with a plan?
Better ease up out my face
Like a ticking time bomb. Yeah, why not?
Pretty much, we are the same, and
People [are] always trying to get in my head
What is my allegiance? What is my pledge?
Like I don't have enough battles already
I wish you would all get dead
Day and night, fight just to get fed. You don't want to mess with a dude who is
The equivalent of a real Max Payne in the making; A fighter, let's do this
Put a good ear to the words I said. I'm a fighter 'til the day I'm dead
Break you down; Decepticon
Can't compete cause you ain't got that edge
Contemplated jumping off that ledge
Did it many times inside my head. But ultimately, this [is] what I said
I'mma get up and fight instead
[Hook]
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but I had to rise above
Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough
Believe me, it's never easy, but you gotta rise above
Yo, 'tard. I'm Bogard; Power-freaking-Wave
I can do anything I put my brain to, man
You put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it
Put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it, and go
