[Intro]
Love you!
Love you too!
One day, one day
I said I always knew that one day
I would live deluxe
I would live deluxe
I always
That's the key:
You must have faith
Faith, faith, faith
Faith
One day, one day
[Verse 1]
Gone all week, bet I'm flying Delta
That's change if I know one thing about them Greek letters
I know one thing about them Greek letters
They stole 'em all
Straight from Kemet
Still I rise!
Still I rise!
It's a new day
Therefore, mo' shine
Still I rise!
(Whoo, Whoo!)
Still I rise!
It's a new day
Mo' shine
[Chorus x3]
I wrote this song when I was
STRESSED THE fu*k OUT
It was 4AM in my Grandma's house
I tried to sleep but it was bugs crawling in my mouth
ONE DAY I KNEW
THAT I WOULD MAKE IT OUT
[Verse 2: CHRIS WISE]
I get love on Bedford Ave and it's the same on Rogers
A live example for my brothers who ain't got no fathers
I ain't got no problems
Leaned on God to solve 'em
Carry those my patna
We gon' sip this holy seltzer
Pellegrino
Sticking to the G code
Put on for my Z code
That's that 1-1-2-2-FEEZO
Awaken into beast mode and remain until my feet swole
Persist through major pain
I said your fam is full of jokesters
(No judgments)
They rap 'bout hocus pocus
I don't knock nobody hustle, man
It's blessed they found a focus
'Cuz it's so hard
For a young black God
That's battle scarred
Fresh up off the Amistad and transferred at Atlantic
They told him "Take the 2, 3, 4, or 5, get off at Franklin"
Although given four options
Forever he was stranded
The outcome of the child's always foreshadowed by the parents
So I strive to break the cycle
Start it with a marriage
[Chorus]
[Outro: Anika]
