I'm looking around and I see more of the same
People looking for purpose, someone to blame
As I'm on my quest for fame, every day the place is changed
As the humble trying to play the game
I figured it out, my dreams are bigger than me
Them taking much further than I thought it would be
I'm so glad that I believe that God has plans for me
Mama told me it will happen, you'll see
Yeah, yeah
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
I take a move forward 'til I let go off the past
I needed my freedom, I needed it bad
If we all could just forgive
It's the only way to live
I have more now than I ever had
Here's a part and it is written for you
Take your time to find the truth
What do you have to lose?
It's time for you to choose
No one else can do it for you
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
When judgment day comes, have you given your best?
Has the world been changed by the love that you left?
Forgive those who trespassed against you
Rise through the pain, let it go
What happened is done, it's time to live again
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up
You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up

You gotta move on
Raise yourself up now
You gotta stand strong
Raise your head up high
You must respect yourself
Raise you spirit high

Woah...
Its safe to say
That you and I should call it quits but we never did
Cause I keep running back to you
Don't leave me alone
I'm at my best when I'm with you
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Tonight we fight, tonight we fall, tonight is when we love again
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Beyond the past, we can make it last, tonight is when we love again
Were face to face but it still feels like I can't get to you
They said drop the chase
That's just something that I could never do
So come out of your daze you may not feel this like I do
But in the thunder, I'm gonna get to you
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Tonight we fight, tonight we fall, tonight is when we love again
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Beyond the past, we can make it last, tonight is when we love again
We were made as sons and daughters, by the sins of our fathers
They took fame, we take honor
We were made as sons and daughters, by the sins of our fathers
They took fame, we take honor
Hey...
We were made as sons and daughters, by the sins of our fathers
They took fame, we take honor
Woah...
Tonight we fight, tonight we fall, tonight is when we love
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars

Click click bang he, he, he
I'm sick of niggaz trying to shoot the big six
But when the shit jumps off the nigga plays the big bitch
And that's the problem with the nation of blacks
Too slow with your motherfucking hands so you grab your gats
And listen to the gangsta music
You got a glock-ten in your lap but you scared to use it
You's a motherfucking stud
Letting all your homies know you bought another gun
Suppose they tried to pack you, dropped your dick in the dirt
And know exactly how to send it at you
Trying to work your way into the big clique
And that's the main reason young niggaz die quick
Living in this fast shit and trying to have a bad bit
But what you niggaz know about a bank roll
Tricking off the money you made with them stank hoes
Think about it quick quick and raise up bitch
Now the niggaz I run with are down brothers
And ready to die for a motherfucker
So when you want to step mate
I'm a bust you dead in your ass with this twelve gauge
I ain't your ordinary villain
Some niggaz was born dying I was born killing
So gather up your army G
'Cos that's what it's going to take to stop a nigga like me
'Cos I'm coming at you full force nigga
I hope you got some real niggaz on the trigger
'Cos I be rolling like a hustler
And since you got gats you better use them motherfuckers
Sparking nines at a drastic pace
Taking orders from a motherfucking basket case
So when my nine goes pop
Boy you better shit and get your ass up off the pot
Fuck 'em up listen to my glock click
Now raise up bitch
So niggaz don't fuck with me
'Cos I'm a run the whole ninety motherfucking three
And the rest of the years to come
So bitches bring it on if you motherfuckers want some
And I'm a break you off a big piece
'Cos niggaz can't fuck with the big chief
Attention motherfuckers about face
Salute the one that the people call scarface
Still quick to hit them up, quick to get them up
Quick to not give a fuck, never bringing the false shit
I left the mic for a year and I still ain't lost it
Still running them down, gunning them down
Yeah, 'cos real niggaz going to clown
So put your crown on since you're bigger
And let me take care of my business nigga
The bigger the nigga the bigger the cap
The bigger the bullet the bigger the fucking gatt
So step up with that hoe shit and I'm a empty the whole clip
Ain't no running like a rabbit
'Cos I'm a let you motherfuckers have it
Let the motherfucker blast
And bring your hat to your motherfucking ass
'cos niggaz ain't true to it, you're new to it
And don't know what to do to it
But I ain't never had that kind of luck

Raise up
Everybody raise up
Raise up
Raise up
Raise up
Raise up
Straight out the poor house eatin lobster with breakfast
Two new tour buses cuz my voice is infectious
Now the super models never call me a sexist
I got the new style and it's leavin' you breathless
I'm a born entertainer, comin' straight outta memphis
And if Elvis was alive even he would admit this
I'm all over the world usin' you as a witness
Test my drive sweetie cause my hunger is relentless

To all the fans sittin' up in the stands
We got some mad love
When we come to see you again
We're comin now and we're bringing some freinds
So get your ass up to the stage
And we can let the damn thing begin again
I'm back again and I came to win
And I came to move you, move you
So strike up the band raise up your hands
I wanna feel it movin' through you
Raise up

Round and round and round we go

We'll stand together and let em know
Mess with the boys, get the hose that's the way it goes

You know what, I'm sayin'
[Crows crowing]
Ooh ooh, uh huh, ooh ooh
Doghouse Family, check it out
Buckle up, put cho' chin strap on
If you fucks with mine it's on
I don't know if you've been told
But if you fuck with Doghouse it's on
Ya gotta raise up, ya gotta get up
Bitch ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
Bitch ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
Fake ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
[Verse 1]
I'm a crazy motherfucker from the streets
Ridin' in my Caddy, leanin' to the side
Eatin' deep fried pickled pigs feet
Fight lotion, I keep my lips hemmed and ashy
Buckle on beads so my shit stay nappy
Kokane you need to wash your ass
Been scratchin' my dick for a year, just found out I had crabs
You's a nasty ass negro
Yeah but I love kickin' it with them Doghouse niggas makin' them pesos
I'm a bad role model, my name is Kokane
Next it seems like I'm the worses name in the game
You won't wanna remember life is kind of scary
Sittin' alone in the dark, yellin' out bloody mary
I was born in a dark room
Pulled out a 4-5 on the doctor when I came out the womb
I said mom I wanna suck the nurses titties, cause her shit is bigger
You dirty little nigger, ah ha ha ha ha ha
[Hook]
Ya gotta raise up, ya gotta get up
Bitch ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
Bitch ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
Fake ass niggas, ya gotta raise up
If ya wanna get down, ya gotta get up
[Verse 2]
Now this the shit that make you wanna start back bangin' on niggas
Squabbin' on niggas, murderin' niggas
We gangsta with cheese, foolish nothin'
You yellin' peace, nigga we dumpin
About four of these homeboys will be snitchin'
Niggas be tellin like bitches, girls, girls [Whistle]
What's up cuz
Tired of these motherfucking fake homies snitchin' to the fuzz
Nigga I'm burnt out, got turned out at an early age
Nigga flip the page
At twelve is when I first got some pussy
When I let some sixteen year old suck my weenie
I ain't got no front teeth in my mouth so I say f-words with a p
Like puck you and plow down with me
Beat yo motherpucking ass puck all y'all
Doghouse niggas gon' continue to ball
Fuckin' with us is like bad health
Doghouse niggas make ya shit on yourselves, nigga
What, they still talkin' shit
So what chu' in a half-way house nigga
We still gon' ride
[Hook]
Buckle up, put cho' chin strap on
If you fucks with mine it's on
I don't know if you've been told

[Verse 1]
This ain't a fairytale
There's, no way to tip the scales
For, each win I seem to fail
That's the way it goes
Sometimes I ain't that tough
And, my best ain't good enough
When I try and shake it off
Still I hit that low
But the more that it hurts me
The more I keep on
I reach down inside me
And I know I'll over come
[Bridge 1]
If I lose my strength
If I'm hanging by a thread
If I'm going under
I raise up
[Verse 2]
Just like a river flowing
I bend but never broken
In time every cloud disappears like smoke
And when my edge is closer
And I'm slowly going over
Those things won't bring me down
When I'm up against the ropes
The more that you stop me
The faster I run
It's never that easy
But I know I'll over come
[Bridge 2]
If I fall from grace
If I'm feeling out of place
With out [?] or together
I raise up
[Hook x2]
I raise up, up, up, up, up, up, up
I raise up, up, up
I raise up
[Verse 2]
[Bridge 1 (x2) + Bridge 2]
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
If I lose my shade
If I'm going under
Yeah
I raise up
Well, if I fall from grace
When I'm feeling out of place
I raise up

Gots to raise up
People, tell me how are we supposed to live?
Together, well, with no harmony
Between us, tell me can we work it out?
And stop this war
We got to
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up
So insane, that everyday, almost every way
Seems to get worse
Ain't tryin' to preach but I feel we all know
We got to get it together
Before the power people start to sweat ya
Assed you out, just press on and be devout
Don't want to shout and point the finger
'Cause I'm gonna start in my own mirror
Can we unite and stop the kill for you and me?
Can't we feel the sense of community?
We're still under seige
We gots to be free
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
Gots to raise up, gots to raise up
For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up
Gots to raise up
For the peace and the soul
Gots to raise up

Been wit me even 'fore they knew what bein' with me was
Y'all niggaz just glanced at it, now I gotcha starin' at it
But it's been the same ol' North Carolina it's been bein'
Y'all niggaz just gettin' it, oh it's a shame isn't it?
Oh you thought we said we were comin' wit a whole lotta somethin'
We were bullshhh!
(Ahh!)

C'mon and raise up

Who wanted to come and ask somethin' stupid

What it look like?
Puttin' it down for my niggaz in the south side

And all my little bity overlooked hick towns
We gonna hit y'all asses,

That we got comin' atcha

Slammin'
(First)
Classic
(Gold for this)
What's after platinum?
(Baby you don't want the bomb)
And I don't meant to scare ya
But I'm about to bring it home
Blow these valleys, these hills
These streams and N.C. outta the water
How's it feel to look a motherfucker dead in the grill
And tell 'em, "I told ya"
This one's for North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
Spin it like a helicopter
