I Rise


I rise with the air i breathe,i rise

i rise even though no one believes in me ,i rise

i rise to the sound of the beat and the moves to my feet i rise,

i rise when im alone and i rise

when i cant see home i rise,

i rise when a boy have been in between and didnt love me i rise,

i rise with no family and friends to hold me i rise,

i rise with only a buck in my pocket  and have nothing to eat, i rise

i rise with faith and trust and we all know thats a must , i rise

not only do i rise to save myself , but i rise to save other that have became like me, i rise

i rise with faith  in my heart, and god in my soul, i rise

if i could, i would have changed my life a long time ago , i rise
