[00:20.69] New wave, yeah, I'm on a new wave
[00:23.60] My family was stolen, this ain't my last name
[00:26.22] Chris Columbus started them cat games
[00:28.82] How you lie to a whole race in they face?
[00:31.15] You told me that I could, Lord knows that I can't
[00:33.61] Y'all sell crooked ass dreams knowin' *****s ain't straight
[00:36.14] They had my granny in the field picking cotton
[00:38.45] So it's only right I'm in the field with my partners
[00:40.92] From splitting syrup sandwichs to syrup from the doctors
[00:43.48] Pokémon to my dawgs so my *****s know I got 'em
[00:45.97] Even though I'm extra hard on my lil' white partner
[00:48.53] Know his grandparents hate me, I still don't let it change me
[00:51.38] I am not black if I really ain't me
[00:53.70] And I never tried to be anything I can't be
[00:56.25] The lupus won the war, damn? I miss my auntie
[00:58.93] I told the blind man, "*****, you lucky you can't see"
[01:01.53] This world ******
[01:02.71] They don't wanna show no love for me
[01:05.17] Throw the cuffs on me? then they throw the judge on me, yeah
[01:08.01] Wanna hold me down, no lie
[01:10.26] But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
[01:15.58] Ain't no looking back when you seen the other side
[01:18.13] I'ma rise, ooh, woah
[01:21.42] Know I rise every time
[01:23.96] Death to all crackers who hate *****s
[01:26.17] I don't rock Timbs, they wore them boots to hang *****s
[01:28.39] My ancestors would love me for the **** that I'm doin'
[01:30.74] I'm involved in my community, I talk through this music
[01:33.40] I shed light on all the bad **** the devil be doin'
[01:35.97] I tried to find it in the Bible but the message was ruined
[01:38.64] I'm not self-centered, I'm far from it
[01:41.38] If blacks keep killing us blacks, the law love it
[01:43.97] Open your eyes, the president is just a puppet
[01:46.69] We at war with ourself and we ain't thinkin' nothin' of it
[01:49.20] Due to the fact I'm statin' facts, I gotta watch my back
[01:52.04] One month for our history, I'm not cool with that
[01:54.80] If Jesus was alive, I bet he'd be a black
[01:57.49] He would recognize the struggle we see in the trap
[01:59.97] Times up, open them Heaven gates
[02:02.72] Just to put another white smile on my black face
[02:05.19] They don't wanna show no love for me
[02:07.63] Throw the cuffs on me, then they throw the judge on me, yeah
[02:10.58] Wanna hold me down, no lie
[02:12.78] But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
[02:18.20] Ain't no looking back when you seen the other side
[02:20.75] I'ma rise, ooh, woah
[02:24.09] Know I rise every time
[02:26.57] Young *****, still don't know what I'm after
[02:28.49] Treat me like a young *****, throw me in shackles, uh
[02:31.42] Seen him in the Benz, won't talk to the pastor
[02:33.57] Got me thinkin' 'bout the days I was flippin' the fast one
[02:36.21] Skin tone dark, still I see the light
[02:38.67] Swear my mama told me the future is bright
[02:41.39] As long as I pay attention then I'll be alright
[02:44.00] So I always listen, big black *****, yeah
[02:47.03] Ducking all the bull****, defying the odds
[02:49.21] I would only find myself when I went looking for God
[02:51.65] 400 years of these memories, we never forgot
[02:54.23] We carry it like some luggage, know it's weighing a lot, hey
[02:57.43] Mind filling up, we still feeling up, ayy
[02:59.92] Wonder why we active and we don't give a ****, they
[03:02.40] Say we out of line but they just out of touch, uh
[03:05.02] Doin' hella **** but it's never givin' up on light
[03:08.76] They don't wanna show no love for me
[03:10.25] Throw the cuffs on me, then they throw the judge on me, yeah
[03:13.19] Wanna hold me down, no lie
[03:15.38] But look me in my eyes and know I still rise, rise
[03:20.80] Ain't no looking back when you seen the other side
[03:23.39] I'ma rise, ooh, woah
[03:26.65] Know I rise every time
[03:30.31] Know I still rise, I still
[03:35.88] Know I still rise, I still
