Rise - Dan Bull

I bring the beat to life, speak my mind

People take a peek inside, believe I’m nice

Hear me defy thee to even find an MC as deep as I

A decent guy sweet as a piece of pecan pie

When he combines beats and rhymes

Even blind people might see the light

Beaming bright either side, gleaming like streets at night

So seek and ye shall find peace of mind deep inside

No need to read the fine line prints or reason why

Don’t even try, ask me and I will be your guide

Lead you by the hand and you will see the sights

Feel a vibe tease your spine and leave you feeling fine

You’ll be excited to be alive

From calves, knees and thighs to heartbeats and minds

We can lead a life of peace and kindness or we can fight, just

Rise, until the sun’s in your eyes

My eagle eye will read between the lines

And see the lies these deceivers write

They cynically decide the things you need to buy

And then repeat the cycle until the people all believe it’s right

We need to realise it’s free to be polite

And treat a being like he or she is being equalised

Don’t know why we demonise and penalise

Effectively illegalise genotypes

What happened to being nice

To each and every being we see alive?

Treat them right

That’s why me I keep on trying to lead a vegan life

Though cheese is nice, we eat the seasons, spices

Denying the beast beneath has rights

Cause keeping meat inside us is a sign that here lies

A survivor, no need to read the rites, we succeeded quite

Well enough, it’s tough enough to put the greed aside

Even I let ego stride in and feed my pride

But if we can rise above conceit and fight

For love, then we can climb the peaks 'til finally goodbye

From our teeth and eyes to hearbeats and minds

You’ve seen us lead a life of peace and kindness

Get off your seat and…
