[intro] [Verse 1] Middle of the night, And I'm gunnin for a fight, Pent up aggression, Caused by society's lack of expression, Feel backed in a corner, By the continual disorder, In a city gone to ruin, where only discord is brewin [Bridge] So let's rise [yeah rise] Not compromise. [crescendo] [Chorus] Don't bury your thoughts, just speak your mind, Suppressing your emotions, will leave you blind [BLIND], Rise up and demand, your just desert, Cos this life gives nothing, unless you exert [EXERT], So exert [don't hurt] Yeah exert [don't hurt] [Verse 2] So let's rise [rise up] Never Compromise [no], Livin this life is a privilege, And should never be sacrilege, Brothers gonna escalate, Feelings of disconsolate, Never Gonna be put down, Or wear this face as a frown, You need to live life to the max, And don't be judged by the facts So exert [don't hurt] Yeah exert [don't hurt] [intense beats] [Chorus] [Bridge 2] Feelin, just believin, Free wheeling, not reeling, Faith, not rage, Freedom, not in a cage, Exhilerate, don't tolerate, So Exert, don't hurt [Chorus] [Outro] So Exert [don't hurt] yeah exert [don't hurt]
