Your rating:
[Verse 1: King Trill] It's time to set it off You looking at a king To paranoid to close my eyes I ain't never had a dream But my lyrics lift the people Like the great Dr. King Never been a preacher But I can tell you what I've seen Life ain't never what it seems Don't be fooled by your eyes They say the good die young I guess my spirit's on the rise My lyrics paint pictures like visions in your mind But this is not a dream go head and open up your eyes I'm focused on the prize Critics waiting on the outcome Heroes need disguises I'm more like Malcolm But I'm here to save the game like Bruce Wayne in Gotham When the lights flash you already know the outcome People starving in this world I'm like how come If I could lyrically I'd reverse the outcome This for my single fathers raised without one Keep faith in God and reverse the outcome [Hook 1: TMelodee] Lord I try I try so hard to make it through each day Everyday I pray All my People around the world let me hear you say Still I Rise (repeat 2x) [V2: King Trill] It's survival of the fittest We say anything to get to the richest Even turn our kids to niggers and bitches Still rapping about how we pulling triggers on snitches Standing on the corner pitching Every word explicit The problem is half of these rappers lives is fiction Suppose to be leaders but really as crooked as politicians King Trill I ride for the opposition The people of the struggle striving to make a difference In the lives of the youth You see the media has the power to fool us all and turn lives to truth That's why we need to teach our kids and stop relying on schools And don't believe everything that you see in the news We all slaves in the system I've never been a victum Poverty is like a prison and we all got convictions This for my people in the projects facing evictions Segregated with restrictions Please pay attention [H3: TMelodee] [V3: King Trill] Race, politics, and religion The great division We rate each other based on how we living From the projects to the suburbs it's all a prison My lyrics are like prescriptions I'm clearing up your vision It's time to regroup the mission Freedom is a choice you should never need permission I'm trying to free your mind all you got to do is listen School of the hard-knocks and you ain't got to pay tuition I came up on them same blocks Where them young thugs gang-bang and slang rocks Got locked up by them same cops Asked God why and when will the pain stop I made a choice to live better Get up off them streets don't need nobody else to tell you As long as you believe you can never be a failure Dreams are like drugs don't consume what they sell you [H4: TMelodee]
