Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Rise above, gonna start the war!

What you want, what you need, what'd you come here for?

Well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight

They're taking me down as the prisoners riot

...

Got shackles on, my words are tied

Fear can make you compromise

Lights turned up, it's hard to hide

Sometimes I wanna disappear

...

When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress

I just pass it off on ability

Well, you got what you want, and what you never knew

Perfect gift from me to you

Got shackles on, my words are tied

Fear can make you compromise

With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide

Sometimes I wanna disappear

...

(Raise up to your ability)

You never knew what I could find

What would come when we realize

I don't want to compromise

(Raise up to your ability)

Yeah I'm scared but I disappear

Running around before it corners you

I can't go because my life's a wreck

(Raise up to your ability)

I know that you want me

'Cause it's simple to see of my ability

(Raise up to your ability)

Yeah you're undecided

Yeah so I can see that

Yeah I don't wanna runaway

You gotta focus on your ability

Focus on your ability

Gotta focus on your ability

Focus on your ability

Can't get what they want to steal

Can't get what they want to steal

Then they can't get what they want to steal

Can't get what they want to steal

...
