Get Yourself Up (feat. Sarah Taborn)

from Paradox Chapter Two by Karim Rushdy

/

lyrics

Chorus, Sarah Taborn, Karim Rushdy
You knock yourself down, but you get yourself up ya
That’s how it is ya - life’s rough

Verse 1
hold up now wait a minute
how much truth can you take with this?
cause if i just wanted to get paid for makin this
then i don’t think i put enough bass in this
there is no dub step wobble drop
all i got is my beat box bobble hop
this is no auto tune, musical lollipop
i am rough and raw man you can call me lava soft

Chorus

Verse 2
all eyes tryna catch a glimpse
of a lifestyle only one percent are living in
so find somebody you can love and give a kiss
cause the rat race in this world is irrelevant
there’s an elephant in the room
is the truth hitting you
pictures in your living of plastic love that visits you
but it's all lies and everybody’s living doom

but it’s positivity in your satellite receiver dish
cause these kids are spiritually feverish
they need to wish to be freed from this evilness
upside down value system now we really need a switch
ain’t no time for these whack clones
like attack drones tryna find a blast zone
i bring a message of love that you left
...welcome back home
where your backbone doesn't snap quick
stay true to you it's not magic
but it's tragic when we can't see past this
image that's portrayed when in fact it’s
not true. there is a new vibe this its new groove
and if you let it then it flows into you

Chorus



Truth.
