How to Rise (collab rap wit TPC)

by Dustin S   Aug 10, 2008


Yo this one is with my homie TPC, holla back homie!
iight it goes him, then me.

TPC-

I came and i overcame, but i will not bleed
you can come behind, and just take what i leave..
You wanna see me then just see me
But you'll end at the bottom, trust me, believe me...

They ask me how im so good, How did i do it
I tell em ima magician, and theres basically notin to it
I am now a teacher, but once was a student
started wit a stutter, but now speakin fluent

a major difference from the now fluent to the then hesitant
from first speakin of cocky, to now askin to be the president
So everybody if you feel my beat,
Get off your seet, raise to your feat
Pause defeat, and let me give u a treat

You see I never got to be what i am now, witout focus
I wasnt just born with this talent, none of that hocus pocus
I I became my admirers, and studied my idols
thats why i have so many fans, and so many titles

From a life of not eating, and being dirt poor
To supplying food for my family, and givin to the poor
Cause God gave me talent, and an openin door
So PUSH your self folks, and then push some more

From nothing I became Something, cause I had hope
Dont fall short, or even fall for the slope
Lifes too short, and God gave us Gifts
So use it to your potential, and watch your heart lift

I havent even lived my life yet, my stories not told
but im pushin myself until every page folds
forget the big words, forget the metaphores
let your mind speak with your mouth, to open doors

I never got a CD label, from sittin on my butt
Or out wit my friends, drinkin n smokin blunts
I got it because i pushed until i couldnt push no more
and Prayed to God, Asking Please, just give me on more door

My turn-

Some people keep askin me, how I got to be,
Well open your eyes and realize, you got to see.
I started at the bottom and rose with a flame.
That startled most of the others outta the game.
Day to day, I enter a few submissions,
Its all depending on my room. My conditions.
I'm spell bent. The magnet. Forgot the repellent.
Gonna be the bomb if yall love this adolescent.
Together, me and TPC, aint no apprentice,
Forever I gonna be leadin raps menace.
When I first started out I had some follows
And some leadaz, but I come from tommorow.
So for now I say that I am goona return,
Try yo burn and at the same time learn.
I remember a day where I needed a resperater,
Cause I got destroyed by a decimater.
I want mental for a week and caused
The one thing that put me on pause.
But thats how life is huh. Thin and thick.
Its all one gigantic confusing trick.
Just gotta do what I did. Keep goin.
Even if the beats may not be flowin.
Whenever there'll be a mistake in life,
I just go and rap around inside my ciph.
So yeah you can call me pathetic and wild,
But I'm at peak. Your turn poetic child.

This is about how me and TPC rose to where we stand today. Enjoy!
