Franky Perez New Bracelets
Rise up
Rise up
I gotta rise up from these streets
I'm gonna stand up
Stand up
Get back on my feet
Yeah
It was like any other morning
'Til the sun hit me between the eyes
And shone a light on my situation
I'd finally done it this time
I had a brand new pair of bracelets
And a number for a name
A little room that I could pace in
Twenty three if I was a day
I gotta rise up
Rise up
Rise up from these streets
I gotta stand up
I gotta walk tall
And get back on my feet
Yeah
Now I'm doing the county shuffle
Waiting in line for the stress box
I'm dialling up a prayer to get me out of trouble
But I doubt God takes collect calls
I gotta rise up
Rise up
Rise up from these streets
I gotta stand up
I gotta walk tall
And get back on my feet
Gotta promise me mamma
You gonna stop your crying
It's gonna stick this time
She said "When you keep yours I'll keep mine"
I know I got cracks in the foundation
And it's gonna take a lot of sand to sand to seal
Yeah, I got some skeletons in the basement
It's time I dig them up and heal 'em
Woah
I gotta rise up (I'm gonna rise up)
Rise up (I'm gonna rise up)
Rise up from these streets
I gotta stand up (I'm gonna stand up)
I gotta walk tall (I'm gonna walk tall)
And get back on my feet
