"Get Up & Try It" features Nenjah Nycist on lead vocals and a powerful chorus by Michael Costello, against an all-live-band funk jam with a badass breakbeat.
"Rising Sun Gang" was recorded by Gary Nieves Jr at Cobra Sun Studio in Staten Island, New York. Tracks were cut to 1/2" 8 channel tape, and then mixed in a hybrid analog/digital fashion, using a 1/4" stereo machine and the latest recording software.
lyrics
"Get Up & Try It!" (Nenjah Nycist, M. Costello)
What up!
Its NYC yo the fan favorite, I don't pick up hoes that's landscaping
is it God or the game? I need a conversation with Pastor Mason
I ain't splitting shit with them I want my laceration
now thats my own cut I could really give a fuck about some online hating
niggaz facing shit blind like online dating
I be online skating, yeah I grind they in line means more wives taking
borderline Jamaican as many blunts as I'm facing
bringing home the bacon I'm so amazing when going ham
nah wait man thats non-cypher talk
flow colder than where some fucking lifers walk
where pork and teachers be using all types of chalk
I think too hard fellow you spitting all types of soft
marshmellow I'm sick with no type of cough
I lyrikill 'em dead leave no type of corpse
shit ya'll say is dumb like a virgin paying child support
yeah yeah yeah
so microphone check one two
see what I need for ya'll to do is
{Chorus}
Welcome to avoidance play it backwards to hear the crew run.
You're disillusioned, plagued by bitterness;
Is it worth your time?
And what about your future, if you lead will others follow? what Does our freedom ride on, and what cost are we divided?
Yes I'm the best Nyc
on all pussy there's a price
so to put my log in no computer websites
I quit jogging run the track run it back like the running back Chris Johnson
so get ya facts right
since 7 I been splurging you heard him?
step to me and get ate, two point conversion
lookand i ain't as dumb as you look
I walk with intellectuals and run with the crooks
fuck a mattress I stash my money in a book
for dumb niggaz coming at me sideways like a rook
trying to cook me please be my guest
I'm the one they hate on like Raekwon I can chef
ya shit won't get played like VHS
unless you my dude I ain't really impressed
I'm only impressed by a fat ass in some sweats
we kind of like the tribe my niggaz on quest
road to success, rich men pave it
industry is Goliath and guess who playing David
{Chorus}
Welcome to avoidance play it backwards to hear the crew run.
You're disillusioned, plagued by bitterness;
Is it worth your time?
And what about your future, if you lead will others follow? what Does our freedom ride on, and what cost are we divided?
{Bridge}
The only thing you got to do, is get off your ass and move! (Try it!)
