Still I Rise
Outside it's getting dark
But I won't lose my way
This life's torn me apart
But I'm not in my grave
Won't stop 'til I have it all
You can see it in my eyes
'Cause even though I fall
Still I will rise
Look me in my eyes
Look me in disguise
Look how long it took to break the kid
he's shook he's neutralized
Ever since he was 16 he had a dream of spitting rhymes
But things he's seen as just a teen left him traumatized
But even if he fell from the skies he'll never be paralyzed
Even with his steps televised he'll never be compromised
All this outside pressure is exercise to his idle mind
Been villainized but in this water he gon' be baptized
I'll emerge from the flaming sun, I'm a phoenix at zenith
Burning like Venus I dream of light up arenas of men
Repeating my edicts like Jesus, move men like psychokinesis
God since a fetus, born genius, I stay speaking this thesis
Anti-social but going coastal like the postal his letters speak
His vocals are like a chokehold to hoes but no battery
He's a vet but no pedigree, just the TEC sitting at his feet
And the twisted vendetta of Missus Coretta
'Cause no bitch is ever gon fuck with the King
Outside it's getting dark
But I won't lose my way
This life's torn me apart
But I'm not in my grave
Won't stop 'til I have it all
You can see it in my eyes
'Cause even though I fall
Still will I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
But I won't lose my way
This life's torn me apart
But I'm not in my grave
Won't stop 'til I have it all
You can see it in my eyes
'Cause even though I fall
Still I will rise
Look me in my eyes
Look me in disguise
Look how long it took to break the kid
he's shook he's neutralized
Ever since he was 16 he had a dream of spitting rhymes
But things he's seen as just a teen left him traumatized
But even if he fell from the skies he'll never be paralyzed
Even with his steps televised he'll never be compromised
All this outside pressure is exercise to his idle mind
Been villainized but in this water he gon' be baptized
I'll emerge from the flaming sun, I'm a phoenix at zenith
Burning like Venus I dream of light up arenas of men
Repeating my edicts like Jesus, move men like psychokinesis
God since a fetus, born genius, I stay speaking this thesis
Anti-social but going coastal like the postal his letters speak
His vocals are like a chokehold to hoes but no battery
He's a vet but no pedigree, just the TEC sitting at his feet
And the twisted vendetta of Missus Coretta
'Cause no bitch is ever gon fuck with the King
Outside it's getting dark
But I won't lose my way
This life's torn me apart
But I'm not in my grave
Won't stop 'til I have it all
You can see it in my eyes
'Cause even though I fall
Still will I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
