[Lyric] Still We Rise (Miquiel Banks)

To you it's frightening, to see me rising
Can't you see i'm excited, black folks are past trying and crying
We embrace the enlightened, that means we're rising
And when we show-up, can't you feel the come-up, for real

Still we rise, it's bout time

Have you read the headlines, we woke from bedtime
Many will lead in business, be glad that you got to witness
Black folks been held-back, now we want the jetpacks
And if you like the blow-up, i promise, you'll love the come-up, for real (oooh)

That's right you feel this
Still we rise, it's bout time

We passed the groupies, passed the booties, and the smoothies
Past the floozies, past the beauties, and Suzukis
We leaving the gloomy, forget the loopy, and home movies
Call us kookie for coco puffs, we embrace our duties

Still we rise, still we rise
Still we rise, still we rise
