Rise up lyrics - Cypress Hill song

Living in the big city
The American dream
Is far from me and the streets are gritty
Everywhere I turn I'm on a mission for more
But I ain't selling my soul
for the dope that's no bull
I'm on a one way rise to the top
I'm hitting the strip but got a sound that would rally the block
I'm in the fast lane and I won't stop
You ain't nothing but talk
You couldn't hang on the rope I walk
This life that I live
It ain't for the weak
I'm a rowdy ass gangster that came off the street
I'm trying to keep the peace
but I gotta keep my piece
Got these punk ass police
Want me R.I.P.
And I'm searching for the higher ground
I want my head in the sky
So high that I can't come down
Realize in every town across the nation
Cause you can never stop to play
Gotta Rise up (to the top, to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Gotta Rise up (to the top, to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Cause what goes up must come down
So we gotta rise up to the highest ground
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
How high can you get?
Cruising in the drop Chevy
Got my foot on the floor
I'm hitting switches and my brain is heavy
You wanna look inside
And see whos flossing the ride
Curiosity is killing you and stinging your pride
I get high from the flip in the set
Never flipping the script
And all you haters couldn't hold my dick
don't need a clip for my nine straight
You just leave it alone
And check your toe cause my nine will spit
This right heres as high as it gets (Oh shit)
Somebody light the spliff
The hell kept it real cause you stepped on the set
But guess who will show you, you gotta cash the check
Got my glock on deck and my custom vest reads
You can't fuck with me I'm the best
And you can keep the dress
Cause I smoke nothing less
Then the kush step back I'm tired of getting pushed
Gotta rise up to the top (to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Gotta rise up to the top (to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Cause what goes up must come down
So we gotta rise up to the highest ground
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
How high can you get?
I go psycho
Crazy Michael Myers
I set the stage on fire, go higher
Cause when our name's on the flyer
there's so much smoke it makes the whole city rise up
Devise a plan to get the whole world lifted
One band came to take the land with a mission
there's no way you can stand in this position
You can't take the heat get the fuck up out the kitchen
Born with the will to hustle,
see we be hitting the road you'll never stop it you ain't got the muscle
Were on the world tour, homeboy this is for sure
We gotta cure blow up the stage up, we be out the door
Sometimes we all need an escape
So when we form our track
Well get your mind while we get the stat
I made a pact with my crew on the hill
We continue to build with all the people who believe their bill
Gotta Rise up (to the top, to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Gotta Rise up (to the top, to the top)
can't stop (How high can you get?)
Cause what goes up must come down
So we gotta rise up to the Higher ground
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
Rise Up (Rise Up)
How high can you get?
