Hieroglyphics

But still I rise yeah

Cool down the rod

Cast all my cares to a side

Won't waste time

Won't waste time

Make a world hard

Some are war side

It's a war call for the

Future of the calm

Now bring it back like

Oooh, oooh

This young David at war

I'm ready to soar and heavy

I forced every opponent

To change course

And I'm more steady

Pour every ounce

Of my spirit in it

I sense

I feel it

I kill't it

I'm in it

Like i'm off a 6-pack a

Liquid courage

I know that you're caught scary

I been in the crunch time

Explored every option

Implored every resource

Adopted a doctrine

That's true to my conquest

God must have known

The platform that I've gone with

Garnished my words like

A farm of manure

And it's crops for the harvest

Might yield us the talking

You sow, you reap

The more you keep

The less you gain

Before I meet the reaper

I pray the words I speak

Become covered in

And is a covenant

For change, sort of like MLK

Wanted, don't waste the case

I make her pay homage

She leaves before me

But still I rise yeah

Cool down the rod

Cast all my cares to a side

Won't waste time

Won't waste time

Make a world hard

Some are war side

It's a war call for the

Future of the calm

Now bring it back like

Oooh, oooh

Let's get it started for

The dearly departed

No art, before niggas is making

Money out of the oven

'Cause in they lovin'

They be like the

President in the face

But on law that based

And then he beat the case

Ain't no love for the rats

With their ace with the base

My joker's a wild card

If we beat the A's

Everyone picks it when

They parlay Creole

In other words I was

Raised with that creole

In New Orleans voodoo

Suga this is creole

Let me see your palm nigga

'Cause I can read 'em

They ate off in this hand

And he's going for kill

I'm protected by what

I can't see but can feel

And I'm holding my breath

Underwater like Seal did

We come from the fields

Oh bad bunny I'm conscious

This is what happened when

We set off the rocket launchers

When Melly Mel was saying

Chaka Khan let me rock this

I was in the projects

Doing the gymnastics

On the pissy mattress

Yeah the big red man

Eddie Cain with 5 heartbeats

And a range, hashtag this

I wish that

Cousin never got caught with

A brick yeah

Hit 'em with the law part

But they missed yeah

Y'all but they looking like this

But ya'll got you looking like

Godzilla feet, check the feature

Son of a preacher

Last supper boy I be sitting

With Peter

Mary Magdalena told me

There's an informer

You will see the sign

When he kissed by Judah

What was gonna pull up

With the horse and shooters

Peter gonna pull it so they

Cut the soldier

But still I rise yeah

Cool down the rod

Cast all my cares to a side

Won't waste time

Won't waste time

Make a world hard

Some are war side

It's a war call for the

Future of the calm

Now bring it back like

Oooh, oooh
