Van Down By The River Lyrics - Rise - Presence

[Verse:] 

I'm underrated in your eyes 

undersized but on the rise 

inclined to quench your hunger like supersizin' your fries 

it's time to speak the truth 

we're runnin' out of time 

the ties that you have with your friends is the prize 

we need to recognize hellos and goodbyes 

and if we realize before we die 

then we are wise 

keep digging down deep inside 

don't analyze the cries 

just try to push ahead through the lows and the highs 

[Chorus:] 

In a world full of shit 

I'm comin' fully equipped 

mic in my hand 

blunt at my lip 

kickin somethin never nothin see you bluffin always puffin rough and tough and stuffin my soul with the flow 

the van down by the river 

[Verse:] 

Now someone's got beef 

'cause you grew up in the east 

you ain't claimin' the west so he knocks out your teeth 

just another beatin' on the crime-infested streets 

the strong get stronger while the weak are obsolete 

so may you rest in peace 

to the recently deceased 

I know one day soon we will definitely meet 

and when that day comes son 

I'll be waitin' and prayin' 

when the light goes off 

[Chorus]
