Rise Again from Iron Kong by Eyedos

(VERSE)
It should lift you up not kick you while you're down
Trying to keep my circle small when all I do is get around
stuck in this roundabout, no direction now
easier to keep it in, when it's hard to let it out
just a one way in, and only one way out
on this long one way street out of town
I keep myself grounded, but no really telling how
I find it harder looking up when I've been feeling hellbound
so ya life hits a roadblock, then you take the detour
gaining traction on a road that I've seen before
with no traffic, no holds, so I speed some more
and you can't slow down just to breathe some more
Holding pride for ransom, I know my own worth
and the hostage is confidence, I hit him where it hurts
with the urge to take your life if you make another word
Stockholms, learn to love myself at my worst
Color me gone, we're all painted with the same brush
stuck in the tar, we get lost in the same stuff
Pull yourself out, nobody running when you say sumtin
Who can blame us for seeking validation from a stranger like its all the same Love
fiending for that dopamine rush, all the same drugs
We need the reassurance, we all wanna make connections
don't wanna be alone, we all wanna be remembered
Sometimes it feels you gotta lose yourself
'fore you're found and learn you always knew yourself
before the problems bury you in doubt
and more than often wearing you on down


(CHORUS)
they might build you up
or leave you broken on the ground
they might hate you now
and love you when you're not around
some thing's will motivate
while others might just let you down
if you ain't stand for nothing, you gonn' fall for anything as well


(VERSE)
they'll kick you when you're down without letting you up
they might ask for too much and it's never enough
Whoah, how the fallen have risen
I can talk about the pain but would anybody listen
If I lose faith, I'm also losing my religion
only feeling it relates cause everybody play the victim
see the underlying issues but ignore the symptoms
If i leave this place, would anybody know im missing
when Im just tryna fit in
Best friends become strangers when they get to switching
double up on their position
as if I had a choice but it wasn't my decision
and If you have a voice you could take the criticism
and if its on point it's cause I hit it with precision
I'm a get in where I fit in, get my hands up on the dividends
I'll flip it when u get a minute, show you what ambition is
I'm better than ever, done repping the pen I been able to write about a mental prison
got me locked in, cutting out the middleman
the way I handle business, like a plumber, got that drip again
been making money work for me, not working for it
I know my own self worth and it's worth a fortune
Sometimes it feels you gotta lose yourself
'fore you're found and learn you always knew yourself
before the problems bury you in doubt
and more than often wearing you on down


(CHORUS)
they might build you up
or leave you broken on the ground
they might hate you now
and love you when you're not around
some thing's will motivate
while others might just let you down
if you ain't stand for nothing, you gonn' fall for anything as well


(OUTRO)
been taking time to myself
so many days to reflect
I lost track for awhile
and I'm retracing my steps
aint no crying for help
cause you'll be wasting your breath
only one holding you back is yourself and the thoughts that race in your head
