Still I rise Lyrics

Rappers be selling they souls

Yea

Yo

Yo

Rappers be selling they souls

Just to not even go gold

Never believe what they told

Labels be tappin they clothes

Police entrapping the bros

Gotta adapt to environment

They can't cage me i'm a flight risk

Gold watch that's a slight wrist

Head cracks when the dice flip, uh

Consistency up and Im mentally up

Man my time is too priceless

Still had the drive with no license

Pull up to hoop with a light skin

Next day I come with a dark skin

Slide in like I'm parallel parking

We reading literature often

The school didn't tell us what life is

This world it get colder than Austin

Boy wipe ya sneakers you might slip

I don't be looking for trouble

But if you want problems

We flicking your light switch

This is that seven like Mike Vick

God flow, Bravo

Been broke, Lost hope

But still, I float

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I long for my innocence back

The hood took that

Gameboy and Yu-gi-oh Cards

Stuffed in my book bag

Eventually replaced by condoms and wave caps

Got some pussy started thinking bout growing my braids back

Fast forward I'm a man but I still gotta think back

To when we was putting 4,5 heads on a eighth sack

Hot boxing mike tyson

So lower yo base cap

They can't fire me

I might walk in with the face mask

This the cure 2

Sweet Science no we don't take jabs

I'm Sugar ray with the mini fro step my bread up to penny loaf

They say it's a chip shortage but my sums in

Got that international bag nigga my fund-yens

Too much hatred lets let the love in

25 cousins they put up 5,000 a piece

That's big business boy employ ya own

You either build or you destroy the throne

We self check man niggas aint even guarding you

Still wanna make it harder to win

All that being street martyr's should end

If you aint leaving no legacy

Then death it can't be yo destiny

They wanna hold me down

But them angels is to the left of me

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise

I go I go I go I go I go I go I go

But still I rise
