Still I Rise Lyrics

[Verse 1: King Trill]

It's time to set it off

You looking at a king

To paranoid to close my eyes

I ain't never had a dream

But my lyrics lift the people

Like the great Dr. King

Never been a preacher

But I can tell you what I've seen

Life ain't never what it seems

Don't be fooled by your eyes

They say the good die young

I guess my spirit's on the rise

My lyrics paint pictures like visions in your mind

But this is not a dream go head and open up your eyes

I'm focused on the prize

Critics waiting on the outcome

Heroes need disguises

I'm more like Malcolm

But I'm here to save the game like Bruce Wayne in Gotham

When the lights flash you already know the outcome

People starving in this world I'm like how come

If I could lyrically I'd reverse the outcome

This for my single fathers raised without one

Keep faith in God and reverse the outcome

[Hook 1: TMelodee]

Lord I try

I try so hard to make it through each day

Everyday I pray

All my People around the world let me hear you say

Still I Rise (repeat 2x)

[V2: King Trill]

It's survival of the fittest

We say anything to get to the richest

Even turn our kids to n..ers and bitches

Still rapping about how we pulling triggers on snitches

Standing on the corner pitching

Every word explicit

The problem is half of these rappers lives is fiction

Suppose to be leaders but really as crooked as politicians

King Trill I ride for the opposition

The people of the struggle striving to make a difference

In the lives of the youth

You see the media has the power to fool us all and turn lives to truth

That's why we need to teach our kids and stop relying on schools

And don't believe everything that you see in the news

We all slaves in the system

I've never been a victum

Poverty is like a prison and we all got convictions

This for my people in the projects facing evictions

Segregated with restrictions

Please pay attention

[H3: TMelodee]

[V3: King Trill]

Race, politics, and religion

The great division

We rate each other based on how we living

From the projects to the suburbs it's all a prison

My lyrics are like prescriptions

I'm clearing up your vision

It's time to regroup the mission

Freedom is a choice you should never need permission

I'm trying to free your mind all you got to do is listen

School of the hard-knocks and you ain't got to pay tuition

I came up on them same blocks

Where them young thugs gang-bang and slang rocks

Got locked up by them same cops

Asked God why and when will the pain stop

I made a choice to live better

Get up off them streets don't need nobody else to tell you

As long as you believe you can never be a failure

Dreams are like drugs don't consume what they sell you

[H4: TMelodee]
