King Trill - Still I Rise Lyrics
[Verse 1: King Trill]It's time to set it offYou looking at a kingTo paranoid to close my eyesI ain't never had a dreamBut my lyrics lift the peopleLike the great Dr. KingNever been a preacherBut I can tell you what I've seenLife ain't never what it seemsDon't be fooled by your eyesThey say the good die youngI guess my spirit's on the riseMy lyrics paint pictures like visions in your mindBut this is not a dream go head and open up your eyesI'm focused on the prizeCritics waiting on the outcomeHeroes need disguisesI'm more like MalcolmBut I'm here to save the game like Bruce Wayne in GothamWhen the lights flash you already know the outcomePeople starving in this world I'm like how comeIf I could lyrically I'd reverse the outcomeThis for my single fathers raised without oneKeep faith in God and reverse the outcome[Hook 1: TMelodee]Lord I tryI try so hard to make it through each dayEveryday I prayAll my People around the world let me hear you sayStill I Rise (repeat 2x)[V2: King Trill]It's survival of the fittestWe say anything to get to the richestEven turn our kids to niggers and *****esStill rapping about how we pulling triggers on snitchesStanding on the corner pitchingEvery word explicitThe problem is half of these rappers lives is fictionSuppose to be leaders but really as crooked as politiciansKing Trill I ride for the oppositionThe people of the struggle striving to make a differenceIn the lives of the youthYou see the media has the power to fool us all and turn lives to truthThat's why we need to teach our kids and stop relying on schoolsAnd don't believe everything that you see in the newsWe all slaves in the systemI've never been a victumPoverty is like a prison and we all got convictionsThis for my people in the projects facing evictionsSegregated with restrictionsPlease pay attention[H3: TMelodee][V3: King Trill]Race, politics, and religionThe great divisionWe rate each other based on how we livingFrom the projects to the suburbs it's all a prisonMy lyrics are like prescriptionsI'm clearing up your visionIt's time to regroup the missionFreedom is a choice you should never need permissionI'm trying to free your mind all you got to do is listenSchool of the hard-knocks and you ain't got to pay tuitionI came up on them same blocksWhere them young thugs gang-bang and slang rocksGot locked up by them same copsAsked God why and when will the pain stopI made a choice to live betterGet up off them streets don't need nobody else to tell youAs long as you believe you can never be a failureDreams are like drugs don't consume what they sell you[H4: TMelodee]
