I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for the tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused, no hoping
We chosen, no folding
Red rivers, won’t hold us
We rising, like Moses
I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for the tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused, no hoping
We chosen, no folding
Red rivers, won’t hold us
We rising, like Moses
Ooh, your time is up
Rocked a few times
Now my guard is up
Slim like J Lo
Cause I had enough
Back with eight lives
Cause you needed one
Louis XIV with the good head (head)
Gone are the days of that cornbread (gone)
Icy in the zone that’s a good bet
Dawn of the slay by the Queer kid
I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for the tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused, no hoping
We chosen, no folding
Red rivers, won’t hold us
We rising, like Moses
Rletto, talk to em
Sisters and my brothers
Rise against the orders
No they can’t stop us now
Lost but now I’m found
Hold the world in your hand
And when you win do your dance
Don’t hold back, it’s your chance
Head up high get in your stance
I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for the tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused, no hoping
We chosen, no folding
Red rivers, won’t hold us
We rising, like Moses
Tweakin’ all of the vultures
Lurkin’, seekin’
All of these gators come and teamin’
Trying to knock me off
Trying to take it and run me off
But they won’t
No matter how ya try, I shine on
No matter how I die, I live on
So taking my power back
So taking my power back
Tweakin’ all of the vultures
Lurking, seekin’
All of these gators come and teamin’
Trying to knock me off
Trying to take it and run me off
But they won’t
No matter how you try, I shine on
No matter how I die, I live on
So taking my power back
Uno, dos, trés, rocket man!
They said I wasn’t gonna make it, I did
I doubted myself for a minute, I’ll admit
Strong with that good self appeal
Brown-skin educated, I’m a whole meal
Tell me what is you not understanding
BLM, BLM, fight for the meaning
Eyes on me, feel the pressure like I diamond
Don’t need a crown to be king
I’m rising
I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for the tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused, no hoping

We chosen, no folding
Red rivers, won’t hold us
We rising, like Moses
I was born of a people
Scorned as a feeble
Son of a Bali Monk (Oh!)
Baptized in the Bayou
Ride for tribes who
Died by the Pharaoh’s gun
I’m focused (I’m focused)
No hoping (no hoping)
We chosen (we chosen)
No folding
Red rivers
Won’t hold us
We rising, like Mosesss
