Lyrics Still I Rise - Big Sean, Dom Kennedy

Still I Rise

Who got her hair done and didn’t think I even noticed
She just happy she chosen
But she the ones who chose me, thats what’s more important (Whoa)
I give her more game than problems, she love how I coach her
Under unrealistic measures is the only way you can measure who’s chosen
I realized my mind frame is too big for the portrait
That’s why I’m steady tryna teach the whole hood corporate
Off psychedelics while a physic tryna read my fortune
But I know knowin' too much of anything can be a torture (Yeah)
She like you suppose to meet me parents, you know that’s important
How narcissistic you think I am (Huh?), you think I did when I didn’t (What?)
You think I paid for everything and didn’t paid attention
Like my head is as big as my name (Come on)
Just tell a real nigga once, baby, never again (Swerve)
And I’ll put you and all my loves ones on like it’s my only obligation
I made all they solid wins a loud proclamation
A little pressure and alot of patience
They tell me you amazin', I say no, God amazin'
Look at all the souls I saved (Straight up)
Look at all the O’s I made (Yeah)
Same outfit a couple days (What about that part?)
Listen to Big Sean (Okay praise)
But just remember it’s easier for mufuckas to count you out than it is to count
you in
So you gotta understand if they don’t see where you comin' from
Or if they small minded and not thinkin' that it’s enough for all of us to get
it
Thats why it’s important to be your own boss
To some capacity you know, put yo self in control
Through the ups and downs, wins and losses, they all just chapters
Chapters in yo life story and really some losses teach you how to win
You know some losses teach you more than always winnin' ever could (Aye)
And I been there back against the ropes, against the wall
(I ain’t tryna waste nobody time, don’t waste mine)
That’s just 'cause you the one who can handle it, you know?
(I ain’t tryna waste nobody time, so don’t waste mine)
Shit, man, you gotta prove yo self, you gotta rise the fuck up (Up)
Show 'em who you are, man (Yeah)
You ain’t gon' give me a way, okay, cool, I’ll make a way, you feel me?
(Look at all the roads I paved, nigga)
Ain’t no mistakes, ain’t no regrets
Regrets only there 'cause you ain’t learned yo lesson or forgave yo self,
either or
(All the times I ain’t cave, yeah, aye)
Yeah, (All we do is elevate) elevate
(Big Sean) And I’ma just gonna leave it right there
(Detroit 2, aye, what’s fuckin' with that, uh?)
