"Rise (Go To Sleep)" by DYP tha goldynchild

They tried to cancel me out of the equation
They love the way I rap but hate the fact that I'm Asian
Underestimatin' me is a flagrant
I used to think that all it took was dedication
But dedication will only get you so far, and so far
I can't believe I'm still so far
From where I wanna be at
I don't wanna be black
I just wanna be me but they don't wanna see that
I ain't tryin' to use a crutch, it's just
My patience is up now I don't give a f***
Yellow kid comin' rough out the gutter
Raps rushin' at you faster than a gat when it stutters
I'm takin' on anyone, anywhere, anytime
Got plenty rhymes/ Crew come equipped with many nines
Sparks givin' sight to the blind
I won't be denied what is rightfully mine
Takin' it by force if I'm forced to
Takin' the world by storm like a forecaster warned you
I was born to lick shots, spit hot, rip shop to the tip top of hip hop
Cop slick drop tops let my sh*** knock
Bang a couple hoes then bag a hot chick like Rick Fox
I'll never rest/ Never pausing for pit stops
I promise/ Seal it with a kiss like lips locked
I'm focused/ Eyes on the prize till I rise
To the heights of the skies or meet my demise
Rise (4x's)
I pray the Lord holds a place for me in heaven
Though I sin, I worked with what I was given
And that's - One mic, one voice
One mind, one heart one choice
That's the reason why I write till I bleed
Why I spit this truth, till I can no longer breathe
Why I seethe beneath/ Why these mics I seize
So I can maybe make a better life for my seed
Try to understand the pain that my chest feel
If death doesn't get me the stress will
Time is running out/ I can't rest or sit still
If I'm not the best then best bet I'll get ill
