King Trill - Still I Rise lyrics

Still I Rise King Trill ft TMelodee {Verse 1: King Trill] Its 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] Its survival of the fittest/ We say anything to get to the richest/ Even turn our kids to n******gs and b**hes/ 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 its all a prison/ My lyrics are like prescriptions I'm clearing up your vision/ Its 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 d** don't consume what they sell you/ [H4: TMelodee]
