Paroles de la chanson Still I Rise par Nef The Pharaoh

[Nef The Pharaoh]
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

[Rexx Life Raj]
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

[Nef The Pharaoh]
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

[Rexx Life Raj]
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

[Rexx Life Raj]
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

[Rexx Life Raj]
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

[ Rexx Life Raj]
Know I still rise, I still
Know I still rise, I still
Know I still rise, I still
Know I still rise, I still
