| New wave, yeah, I’m on a new wave
|
| My family was stolen, this ain’t my last name
|
| Chris Columbus started them cat games
|
| How you lie to a whole race in they face?
|
| You told me that I could, Lord knows that I can’t
|
| Y’all sell crooked ass dreams knowin' niggas ain’t straight
|
| They had my granny in the field picking cotton
|
| So it’s only right I’m in the field with my partners
|
| From splitting syrup sandwichs to syrup from the doctors
|
| Pokémon to my dawgs so my niggas know I got 'em
|
| Even though I’m extra hard on my lil' white partner
|
| Know his grandparents hate me, I still don’t let it change me
|
| I am not black if I really ain’t me
|
| And I never tried to be anything I can’t be
|
| The lupus won the war, damn, I miss my auntie
|
| I told the blind man, «Nigga, you lucky you can’t see»
|
| This world fucked
|
| They don’t wanna show no love for me
|
| Throw the cuffs on me, then they throw the judge on me, yeah
|
| Wanna hold me down, no lie
|
| But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
|
| Ain’t no looking back when you seen the other side
|
| I’ma rise, ooh, woah
|
| Know I rise every time
|
| Death to all crackers who hate niggas
|
| I don’t rock Timbs, they wore them boots to hang niggas
|
| My ancestors would love me for the shit that I’m doin'
|
| I’m involved in my community, I talk through this music
|
| I shed light on all the bad shit the devil be doin'
|
| I tried to find it in the Bible but the message was ruined
|
| I’m not self-centered, I’m far from it
|
| If blacks keep killing us blacks, the law love it
|
| Open your eyes, the president is just a puppet
|
| We at war with ourself and we ain’t thinkin' nothin' of it
|
| Due to the fact I’m statin' facts, I gotta watch my back
|
| One month for our history, I’m not cool with that
|
| If Jesus was alive, I bet he’d be a black
|
| He would recognize the struggle we see in the trap
|
| Times up, open them Heaven gates
|
| Just to put another white smile on my black face
|
| They don’t wanna show no love for me
|
| Throw the cuffs on me, then they throw the judge on me, yeah
|
| Wanna hold me down, no lie
|
| But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
|
| Ain’t no looking back when you seen the other side
|
| I’ma rise, ooh, woah
|
| Know I rise every time
|
| Young nigga, still don’t know what I’m after
|
| Treat me like a young nigga, throw me in shackles, uh
|
| Seen him in the Benz, won’t talk to the pastor
|
| Got me thinkin' 'bout the days I was flippin' the fast one
|
| Skin tone dark, still I see the light
|
| Swear my mama told me the future is bright
|
| As long as I pay attention then I’ll be alright
|
| So I always listen, big black nigga, yeah
|
| Ducking all the bullshit, defying the odds
|
| I would only find myself when I went looking for God
|
| 400 years of these memories, we never forgot
|
| We carry it like some luggage, know it’s weighing a lot, hey
|
| Mind filling up, we still feeling up, ayy
|
| Wonder why we active and we don’t give a fuck, they
|
| Say we out of line but they just out of touch, uh
|
| Doin' hella shit but it’s never givin' up on light
|
| They don’t wanna show no love for me
|
| Throw the cuffs on me, then they throw the judge on me, yeah
|
| Wanna hold me down, no lie
|
| But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
|
| Ain’t no looking back when you seen the other side
|
| I’ma rise, ooh, woah
|
| Know I rise every time
|
| Know I still rise, I still
|
| Know I still rise, I still
|
| Know I still rise, I still
|
| Know I still rise, I still |
