Lyrics

Misery won't get the best of me
Still I'll rise curious about what I have yet to see
I'll climb out this dungeon of misery
Reclaim my pride and dignity
I'm prepared to embrace the goals I will eventually achieve

Chaos abound now I'm drinking too much gotta slowdown
Arched brow tormented at the appalling issue that touched down
World renowned long countdown until the universal meltdown
I should've stayed uptown what is now before me isn't my blessing
Fading in and out intoxicated always optimism is evanescence
Hard to digest the predicament I declined acceptance
No coincidence but before i proceed i had to gain clearance
Convicted to the realism but to the rules i shunned the adherence
A painful and endless cylce of remorseful belligerence
Hard to breathe the tension is surmounting I'm so uptight
Had better days stoked on this lonely bone chilling winter night
Quoting positive affirmations constantly to the universe i recite

Misery won't get the best of me
Still I'll rise curious about what I have yet to see
I'll climb out this dungeon of misery
Reclaim my pride and dignity
I'm prepared to embrace the goals I will eventually achieve

I see the entire portrait to the meaning I'm not naive
Out of patience my weary mind i had assumed nothing could relieve
The madness that was cast upon me to kill and deceive
In the depths of dispair with undying hope i grieve
The dark pits of misery i believe surely is not the bane
Searching for a way out liberty i must regain
Nothing or no one i believed could ever explain
But in view i can see it clear as day without obstructuon so plain
The many things and the riches they tried to embezzle
Since then hardly I smiled and stayed rigorous never amiable
Didn't need man acceptance self-reliant from a higher power i have the approval
I am significant a force to be elite my existence i didn't belittle
Fearfully and wonderfully made bona fide not artificial
Genuine motive intrigued with the struggle I'm a overcomer it's genetic
Like my African American forefathers fighting systemic oppression, although pathetic
But still I'm a dreamer and I'm extremely antagonistic

Misery won't get the best of me
Still I'll rise curious about what I have yet to see
I'll climb out this dungeon of misery
Reclaim my pride and dignity
I'm prepared to embrace the goals I will eventually achieve

Misery won't get the best of me
Still I'll rise curious about what I have yet to see
I'll climb out this dungeon of misery
Reclaim my pride and dignity
I'm prepared to embrace the goals I will eventually
