STILL I RISE Lyrics

They said the story ain't over 'til it's all said and done.

So what you want.

They said the story ain't over 'til it's all said and done.

So what you want.

Look

I let my fingers tap away upon the glass

All this was a product of us skipping every class to get rich

What's the risk you gon' take to get this bag nigga

Plenty trips my niggas tripping off them tabs

In 365 days we figured out a plan

Give the people what they need

Then it's something like Saran wraps

Covered in these grams

Last year was the last time I'll ever doubt the man

I see whats in my hands

Repeatedly I ran from the light like its ultraviolet

Menace to myself but moving through with perfect timing

Burdened by this wealth trying to see the silver lining

Burn it 'til it melts

It's not easy coming from where I live

Like who gon' tell the story when we all gone

And feed them allegories to the mom's sons

Too absorbed in the fast life

As a kid I would travel with a jackknife

But no good reason really feeling like I had to

Niggas double back leaving the room in a bad mood

Finding loopholes to get me out my home state

Back when me and bro would pack it up and hit the road late

From the 202 to 301 757 804 I love the cities bruh

Skipping like a stones throw pitching from my own boat

Sitting reminiscing 'bout the shit I gave my moms hope

I said I'm all in she said "it's bout time

I been noticing ya energy been off a long time"

But never offered pity rather she just realigned me

Reason why I quote her in these songs she define me

I was just a energetic kid with a dream to make it big

Got to thank her everyday for how we lived

Shout-out to the family thats related not by blood

Plenty years they would treat me just like I was one of theirs

Making sure my head on straight but still moving on a swivel

Told me when it come to paper niggas ain't gon' act too civil

Don't focus on them gimmicks it ain't really how they living

Way too many niggas flipping for a sentence

It's really been a long ride

Steady following my own tide

But its only just beginning

Took a couple chapters in the novel previous to all the winning

Front rows to the long lines

We on time.

It's all fine.

I'm signing off.

Monogram.

I'ma always stand with my open hands.
