Verse 1 

Blaming the man, 
blaming the gods 
nobody understands, you blaming the stars 
blaming yourself, hating yourself 
record exec blaming the sales, 
fat man blaming the scale are you aiming to bail, 
or aiming to rise ? 
waiting to crawl away from it all or aiming to fly? 
wanna draw in sand, or paint in the sky? girl is your 
ass a six and a half, eight or a nine? then say it's a 
ten, then say it again I make music to feel free and 
for paying the rent I was blaming the rules, blaming 
the flu blaming my school then blaming the booze, 
probably blaming you too now your neighbors are blaming 
you for banging the beat I can't blame them really it's 
invading the streets caught for bank robbery, blame the 
damned lottery I take the blame for a lot of things but 
not modesty 

Chorus 

I got to rise up, 
I got to, you got to, we got to 
get up, out, over yourself and get busy 
get up, out, over yourself and get busy 

Verse 2 

"Man I'd have a lot of loot if they didn't download" 
"and I need some auto-tune cus my record sound broke" 
"got a lot of obsticles, hard to get around though..." 
if you hate it but save it if you brownose play it or 
throw it away man but I'm proud though hate's a 
powerful thing, it brings you down bro hard to get 
ahead when moon-walking in sourdough I had it all well 
planned was king of the hill but it all fail bad was 
drinking my meals and missing a mil deal was tripping 
on pills feel like smacking the mailman for bringing

blaming the snow, blaming the yay, and blaming the yo

When it all seems impossible 
let them know 
what you gone do then rise or fall? 
let them know 
through the storm and the rain like aint a thing

against all odds I came to win, yeah, I came to win 

Chorus 

I got to rise up 
I got to, you got to, we got to 
get up, out, over yourself and get busy 
get up, out, over yourself and get busy
