Lyrics Hieroglyphics - Wyclef Jean , Ausar

But still I rise yeah
Cool down the rod
Cast all my cares to a side
Won′t waste time
Won't waste time

Make a world hard
Some are war side
It′s a war call for the
Future of the calm
Now bring it back like
Oooh, oooh

This young David at war
I'm ready to soar and heavy
I forced every opponent
To change course
And I'm more steady
Pour every ounce
Of my spirit in it
I sense
I feel it
I kill′t it
I′m in it
Like i'm off a 6-pack a
Liquid courage
I know that you′re caught scary
I been in the crunch time
Explored every option
Implored every resource
Adopted a doctrine
That's true to my conquest
God must have known
The platform that I′ve gone with
Garnished my words like
A farm of manure
And it's crops for the harvest
Might yield us the talking
You sow, you reap
The more you keep
The less you gain
Before I meet the reaper
I pray the words I speak
Become covered in
And is a covenant
For change, sort of like MLK
Wanted, don′t waste the case
I make her pay homage
She leaves before me

But still I rise yeah
Cool down the rod
Cast all my cares to a side
Won't waste time
Won't waste time

Make a world hard
Some are war side
It′s a war call for the
Future of the calm
Now bring it back like
Oooh, oooh

Let′s get it started for
The dearly departed
No art, before niggas is making
Money out of the oven
'Cause in they lovin′
They be like the
President in the face
But on law that based
And then he beat the case
Ain't no love for the rats
With their ace with the base
My joker′s a wild card
If we beat the A's
Everyone picks it when
They parlay Creole
In other words I was
Raised with that creole
In New Orleans voodoo
Suga this is creole
Let me see your palm nigga
′Cause I can read 'em
They ate off in this hand
And he's going for kill
I′m protected by what
I can′t see but can feel
And I'm holding my breath
Underwater like Seal did
We come from the fields

Oh bad bunny I′m conscious
This is what happened when
We set off the rocket launchers
When Melly Mel was saying
Chaka Khan let me rock this
I was in the projects
Doing the gymnastics
On the pissy mattress
Yeah the big red man
Eddie Cain with 5 heartbeats
And a range, hashtag this
I wish that
Cousin never got caught with
A brick yeah
Hit 'em with the law part
But they missed yeah
Y′all but they looking like this
But ya'll got you looking like
Godzilla feet, check the feature
Son of a preacher
Last supper boy I be sitting
With Peter
Mary Magdalena told me
There′s an informer
You will see the sign
When he kissed by Judah
What was gonna pull up
With the horse and shooters
Peter gonna pull it so they
Cut the soldier

But still I rise yeah
Cool down the rod
Cast all my cares to a side
Won't waste time
Won't waste time

Make a world hard
Some are war side
It′s a war call for the
Future of the calm
Now bring it back like
Oooh, oooh
