Rise Track

Life ain’t no chess game
It’s more like Hold ‘Em
You ante-ed up
And you played your hand
The best you could
Wasn’t enough
But you didn’t know
That the deck was stacked
They called your bluff
Now you can only watch
The chips get raked away
It seems too much

But you will rise
You will do more than just survive

No matter where you go
It’s the grand design
Fairness and justice
In short supply
Let the takers
Live the illusion
Their little party will never end
So they knocked you down
And they held you there
‘Till you couldn’t take a breath
But there’s an untapped well
Of strength within
I know you’ll find it yet

And you will rise
You will do more than just survive
