DC On Tha Rise Lyrics

[Verse 1: Young Strike]

Stuck in the Chamber Of Dreams demons fighting for power
Living with vengeance the terror scatter like stormy showers
Warning the morning is coming with such a sunrise
Blazing with blue heat waves right in front of your eyes
Melting the pavement, engraving my name with such a standard
I own this track stomping on the beat just call me David Banner
Bashing your fucking brains in, I'm Incredible Hulk
Swinging fast, five to your face felt like you hit a vault
Set a muhfucker straight with the realness of life, and call it stainless steel
Got your mind running slow as ever like a dirty sprite (four molly pills)
Never faking I'm relating to the fact
That your soul feel haunted like a house on a hill
Rocking chairs moving on their own god damn
Cut the lights off got your face sealed
Pushing the effort of me, I'm nothing but pure greatness
Fuck about who the best, I am that, fuck a understatement
Really nigga I'mma get it and I'm sitting at the top
With a throne that you wanna come after
Pussy nigga I'm a menace steady killing it
Break the world down (another Young Strike chapter)

[Hook: Youngin]

I don't know what you heard about us
But they don't know a damn thing about us
We D.C. niggas and we straight riders
D.C. on the rise you can't deny us (4x)
[Verse 2: Youngin]

I'm sick but there is no antidote
Sit the fuck down what you standing for
Keep talking to me like I am a hoe
And I'mma split your shit like a cantaloupe
Feed you to wolves like an antelope
It's real in the city that I represent
You barking loud when you around your dogs
You better keep them in the kennel cause I'm Michal Vick
D.C. shit I spit and live, Youngin Micheaux I'm up in here
They hating on me but I don't care
Sorry, I ran out of fucks to give
Two more bars and I'm going in, I said two more bars and I'm going in
Shit, one more bar and I'm going in, fuck it, now I'm going in
Put the pedal to the metal in the ghetto trying to win a medal
And I'm trying to tell you, fuck it spell it to you
Pay attention cause I'm only gonna mention once and then
You're gonna miss it like missing a sell and getting no commission
Wishing that you made it, but you didn't make it, now it got you thinking
Maybe you should take it cause your heart is breaking
Aww, now you feeling like a lil' pussy
All gushy, all mushy and squishy
You really shouldn't push me over the edge young nigga I know the ledge
Your on your way to that hospital bed
But you won't live with that hole in your head
Playing around in these city streets
Underestimating how gritty we be
Silly muhfuckas get placed under sheets
In these NorthEast, D.C. streets Sheesh
[Hook]

[Verse 3: Ghost Payne]

Try the right things but it always seem to go wrong
Momma say "the devil boy, just trying to turn your lights off"
Either way this shit right here be pissing a young nigga off
Fucking up probation cause you know gotta get my piff on
This money from the block, giving me a hard-on
Got my pockets so fat, my nigga, Star Jones
Can't go home 'til my whole pack gone
Stepping up my weight cause it's so much money to make
True niggas around, keep them fuck boys up out my face
Get up out this section 8 to go own my own estate
I'm talking personal chefs and a butler serving my plate
Born broke my nigga so rich gon' be my fate
Gotta take care of these kids cause one of them out of state
She got a step daddy but he'll never take my place
Heart gets colder and cold as the money reciprocate
Heart gets colder and cold as the money reciprocate

[Hook]
