Still I Rise - Young Wicked, Jamie Madrox, Rittz

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

Telling myself to put it all in my lyrics

Any time I’m shining the Devil wanna make an appearance

Cause interference, talking shit about us, I hear it

But never doubted our feelings

I’ll be keeping it clear, I know this

How come don’t nobody want us

When I was comping 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, waking up 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 ain’t never let somebody tell me that I’m less than

Never trust nobody with a bunch of fucking yes man

Never will I put 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 a hater or his life

Let 'em all see when you all look at me on 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 that still I rise

Still I rise

When you wanna rise, everybody say that they fuck with you

But when you fallin off they ain’t there to help you out when you need 'em

Waving a flag for you, braggin that they’re your homie but only when you was

poppin', you hit bottom watch your followers leavin'

(?)Even if I don’t see em schemin', homie I done had experience

Spottin' fake friends, plottin' with their co-conspirators

Backstabbin', dates back to the beginnin' of mankind

Drawings on the walls up in Egyptian pyramids

But I won’t let em get me little Brutus to the Julius

I’m losin' friends that hang around me, do it cause it’s lucrative

As soon as it don’t benefit 'em, put they crew to coup, again

I seen the way this movie end, before and it behooves me when

They say they’re with the movement but they shown up and it’s shit,

tryin' to say outlandish shit

Tryna assassinate your character

Swear that they were there when ya, started, say you’ve changed

Since the fame, they didn’t like me back at Strange, homie where the love?

For me to get to where I’m at ain’t been a cakewalk

I believe in God I’m grateful that he blessed me

So much pressure it gets hard for me to stay calm

I wonder if it’s just a way for him to test me

And see if I’ma let it put me in the graveyard

Or am I tough enough to suck it up well let’s see

There ain’t a day go by that I ain’t gettin' hate from

People that ain’t 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 that 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 block 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
