Dear As we down here, for as long as we know In search of a paradise to touch (my Johnny J) Dreams are dreams, and seems to be the only place to go The only for us I know, try to make the of bad situations to be my life's story Ain't no glory in pain, a soldier's story in And can't nobody live this for me a ride y'all, a long hard ride
Somebody break me I'm dreamin, I started as a seed the Swimmin upstream, planted in the while screamin on the top, was my pops, my momma stop a single drop, this is what they got Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a plan he had for momma was to f**k her and abuse her Even as a little seed, I could see his for me Stranded on welfare, another family Now what was I to be, a of this heated pa*sion Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a of a*s Look how it began, nobody gave a about me in my hand, this cruel world can do without me How can I survive? Got me askin white a ni**a live or die, cause the Lord can't see us in the deep clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine No sunny days and we only sometimes everybody's sleepin I my window jump to the streets and get to creepin I can live or die, hope I get some money 'fore I'm I'm 19, I'm tryin to hustle on my own on the spot where everybody and they pops tryin to slang I'd rather go to college, but is where the game stops Don't get it cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn You can buy glocks or a herringbone You can ask my man Reed Keep my nine heated all the time is how we grind Meet up at the cemetary then get smoked out, the weed ni**a Hennessey'll keep me keyed ni**a Everywhere I go holla at me, "Keep it real G" And my reply til kill me Act up if you feel me, I was not to make it but I did The tribulations of a kid, still I rise
Still I (still I) I (I rise) give me to the sky (the sky) And if (and if) I die (I die) I don't you to cry
Fatal] I sharp as always ya bricks with blitz, through ya project hallways Dumpin crews two's, ni**a all day Secrets of war prepare me for the A life that's lavish full of or a life that's in a hearse But now my dreams it seeems though, be triple beams and things bro Diamond pinkie ring got the loot out my jeans
Now I plan to keep my cocked If trouble was searchin for me then why Show em what I'm made of plus raised on, on my Ave, where many turn to the street, thugs snatchin bags We out for power, makin cash it wasn't it'll make me mad I'm like, pimpin My homey on the corner his gat tucked, in Youngest buckin somethin the life he leads the he don't need, don't we all know He tryin to rise up and we just go doe, still he
Dreams of hope I hit the strip broke where the get coke and still I rise now I float cowards Whenever we come around, I'm down clutchin a pound, live as sirens, the sound I to hustle with my moms til the sun came My homey doin time from this drug game cars, war scars, born a Outlaw Behind bars, go to sleep to see the stars Freedom is ours, though we on a firm block Crackheads only ten learn to cops
In ninety-six my my plastic, pa*sion for blastin bastards No faces for caskets, peelin ya cap backwards Ya cowards ain't prepared for pistol I send my through your mattress Leavin holes in your body a cactus While me and my crew be more greens than topic and loot to the seams in my motherf**kin jeans poppin Leavin ya spleen to up Half of you ni**az is than a Snicker Let's go to war and see who draw and I rise, and still I rise...
Still I (still I) I (I rise) Please me to the sky (the sky) And if (and if) I die (I die) I want you to cry
I (still I) I rise (I rise) Please me to the sky (the sky) And if (and if) I die (I die) I want you to cry
