Still I Rise
Oh, you must yodel again for me, often
Now that I know you do it so well
This is the end
What nonsense, darling
Why, I fixed you up last night, and I'll Do it again
Oh, no, now you must rest
And then, well, don't forget
All the lovely things we planned to do Today
Let's go
It's your boy Betta
You already know it gets Betta
We back
Coming from the hard streets
Of the South Bronx
82 the year your boy got his start
My first year I'm looking death up
In his eyes, he knocked me down
A million times but still I rise
Pops had to leave
He couldn't get along with my moms
I never heard the truth I just knew
I was scared
And he came around every summer
And on graduation I had to choose
Go with him or my mother
And when I chose her that's when
I seen he was hurt
Trying to figure out why his only son Wouldn't put him first
Cause I was hurt too
And when moms said he left shit
Little nigha took it personal
Still I rise Still I rise Still I rise
I'm still alive
Life is always gonna bring you down
But you got to get back up and fight another round yeah
Still I rise Still I rise Still I rise
I'm still alive
Life is always gonna bring you down
But you got to get back up and fight another round
I watch the whole world panic
Thru a pandemic
Feeling invincible until I was caught Up in it
Doctors filled the room with paper
Work to sign
Who do we call just in case you Flatline?
My life is on the line
I'm fighting for what's mine
I'm crying to the Lord
God I ain't ready to die
I struggled to breathe
I feel she gone leave
I said a couple things and
Now she's mad at me
I'm gonna fight this with
God as my witness
Another chance at life
I'm praying for forgiveness
With all my sins
I pray that he listens
You still holding grudges
I'm glad you not Jesus
Still I rise Still I rise Still I rise
I'm still alive
Life is always gonna bring you down
But you got to get back up and fight another round yeah
Still I rise Still I rise Still I rise
I'm still alive
Life is always gonna bring you down
But you got to get back up and fight another round
Now that I know you do it so well
This is the end
What nonsense, darling
Why, I fixed you up last night, and I'll Do it again
Oh, no, now you must rest
