Lyrics Still I Rise - Jamie Madrox , Rittz , Young Wicked

(All my life) I've been fighting for the respect I deserve
Reppin' AMB especially when they hated my word
Treating me differently, dissing me
Giving me shit, it was killing me
Found the ability to never let the bullshit hurt my spirit
Anytime I'm shining the Devil wanna make an appearance
To cause an interference, talking shit about us, I hear it
But never doubted our feelings
I'll be getting it clear, I know this
How come don't nobody want us
When I was coming up anybody really loved me, I'll be honest
When I'm feeling nervous in my stomach, roll up marijuana
When the Devil is upon us, I'ma kill him, that's a promise
Ugh, wicked everyday and I'm on it
Proving they made us wrong and murdering every opponent
All the grinding every night finally get to this moment
To spit it and know it, you'll never get rid of a soldier
But I'll never let somebody try to tell me that I'm less than
Never trust nobody with a bunch of fucking yes man
Never will I let up with the freshness
Still you coming at me, I'm responding with aggression
I was born to be the man I am
And I will never give a damn about another hater or his life
Let 'em all see when you all look at me
Or everything you took from me
It'll never kill the fire in my eyes... Still I rise

Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find, still I rise
Still I rise
Still I Rise

Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise
Still I Rise

Why is everybody???
When you fallin off they ain't there to help you out when you need
??? they a homie but only when you was hopin you at bottom watch em
Fallin and leave it thinkin I don't see em scheming homie I done had
This various spot & fake friends plottin with they co conspirators
Back stabbin take us back to the beginning of mankind???
Said I won't let em get me???
Hang around me they do it cuz its lucrative as soon as they don't
Benefit??? I seen the way this movie end before it never moved me
When they said it was a movement but they show a band of???
For me to get to where im at it ain't a cake walk I believe in god I
Prayful that he???
So much pressure its gets hard for me to stay calm I wander if its
Just a way for him to test me see if ima let it put me in the
Graveyard or am I tough enough to suck it up and next see ain't a day
Go by that I don't get hate from
People that never met me but still I rise

Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find, still I rise
Still I rise
Still I Rise

Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise
Still I Rise

Feeling like fuck it go ahead and fill in the blank
Cause I never been a people person, fuck you what you think
Day one if you wanna compare days
But this is real talk, so no room for opinions or Johnny fairplay
Punch 'em right in the face with them off collar
Comments they Got it comin I'm second guessing my own day
And what I might say, so many butthurt but what's worse?
Ain't enough ass bandaids to make work
Shit's deep, real wolves can't be concerned
With the comments of the opinionated sheep
So I flock em all away, wanna throw shade?
While I'm handing out umbrellas and there ain't no sign of rain
I'ma rise through the pain like I'm made of novocaine
And I've been a living legend since the very first day
I'ma batter and abuse 'em my contaminated brain
And I'm here to terminate the competition in the game
New day fuck you in the trumpet
Cut Othellos hands off and fed it to the puppets
Fuck you in the heart cause it's deeper than the duckets
Watch 'em crucified by the public, tell me do you love it?
All the things you covet - die
The moment that you made me pick sides
I'm not the ordinary sheep, I aspire to be the shepard
And you can follow me when I fucking rise

Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise
