Lyrics Still I Rise - Davecreates

Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Yeah
God's-eye view clearer now, clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
DC (Yeah, yeah)

Icarus mindstate
Flying to a high place
I place my attention into the bright haze
Mind playing tricks I feel the mind games
And I see the mines in the sky
Tryna blow me out from high range
Time flies by, by now I thought I would be as high
As the International Space Station
Still I rise to new pinnacles and sensations
I arrive like astronauts in full flotation
Three steps ahead of the game like
Rubix cubes and premeditated rotations
Word to Dave I'm tryna see several locations
But I see mission impossibles and rouge nations
People who ain't playing and people on PlayStations
People tryna going pro and people on probation
There's only one in my audience
Keep your ovation
My flow iller than patients
I remain patient (Gotta remain patient)
In twenty nineteen
I turned twenty three like Michael J in his prime days
Like Michael J how I find ways
Dribbling my flow through the soundwaves
Giving it and go, round the globe
Paint a picture on the soundscape
Cinematic scenes are the similes on my brain
Barricade the beat until it get into my mindstate
Iridescent dreams, see in colour like a polaroid
To remember the memories
Born in the South East
Moved to the east side
These times I was tryna kick the ball and knee slide
Celebrate like Henry
Back when he had the knee high socks
Box to box
Mercurial feet glide

Born in the inner city grew up near the seaside
That's how I see sides
Got into the A team but started in the C side
We moved out the hood so didn't see much
Hood politics like the C side of To Pimp a Butterfly
Yet we fly
Me and little bro doing tryouts with the big guys
Not from up north
But we were tryna make our way to the top
Like when you're driving up to Teesside
It was church or Sunday kick off at teatime
But when the team signed new players
I wasn't picked, nah
I had to read signs
I had to read between the lines
And then I resigned
I hung up my boots
Threw up the peace sign
Believed it wasn't his plan
The one that hung up on the side of the T sign
Now we wear white socks
Oouu! With the clean slides!
Now we do mic drops
Oouu! Issa clean vibe!
What is success to you?
Be careful how it's defined

Didn't see it then but I see it now
Only saw the rain now I see the cloud
I see the bigger picture, I see it loud
And clear
God's-eye view clearer now (Clearer now)
Didn't see it then but I see it now (See it now)
Only saw the rain now I see the cloud (See the cloud)
I see the bigger picture, I see it loud (See it loud)
And clear
God's-eye view clearer now, clearer now

Yeah
God's-eye view clearer now, clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Yeah
God's-eye view clearer now, clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Clearer now
Yeah, yeah
