King Trill - Still I Rise [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Still I Rise
King Trill ft TMelodee

{Verse 1: King Trill]

Its 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]

Its 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 its all a prison/
My lyrics are like prescriptions
I'm clearing up your vision/
Its 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]
