Still I Rise Lyrics by Garey Godson

Still I Rise

2020

Garey Godson, Garey, Garey Godson
I know you wanna see me on the ground o
I thought you prayed for me to win like many days
I see them plotting, scheming, dreaming how I wouldn’t make it
But I made it
Why you wanna see a brother fall
They don’t wanna see me standing tall yea
Popping bottles we dey score we just wanna move on
Up in the sky
Me and ma girl destination west Africa
Jealousy, Jealousy, Jealousy
Sipping Hennessey, Hennessey, Hennessey
Nigga blowing on the finest kush
Leave me alone make I leave my life
Leave me alone make I leave my life
I’ve been in pain and seen the sorrow
Now its my time to shine
Rise Rise
Rise
They put ma name in the dirt
Still I rise
Even though you try to write me off
Still I rise
Got the heart of a lion Shaka Zalu
Me and ma squad steady rising
Niggas asking what’s your voodoo
I ain't got no voodoo
Gat ma eyes to the sky
Where ma help come from
Ma help cometh from the lord
Whip it
They put ma name in the dirt
Still I rise
Even though you try to write me off
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
Just Up in the sky
Still I rise Still I rise
Oh still I Rise
Up in the sky
Me and my guys
With that HKMK
Na na na na na na na o yea
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past rooted in pain
I rise
A black ocean, leaping and wide
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak miraculously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave
I am the dream and the hope of the slave
And so naturally there I go rising
