Still I Rhyme

[Verse 1]
Pressin' the issue
Unfolding ya vision
Give a vivid description
The deaf gettin' the picture
Now my eyes peepin out window
Look at the streets that I ran through
Intelect and reflex
Strapped on me like a vest
Weather changes, moon phases
Reflecting on all my days in
Wrote other similar cases
And as destined
Bud rearranging my senses
Sit back hear my pen take us to amazin' places
Hittin' bumps on the road next to the unеven pavement
No smilеs no electric fences
Bass fillin' up all the crevices
Of the neighbors room
Listening to my story bloom
Mexicana y Hondureña
Til my days of doom
And I'm in the news
This paper illustrate my days in blue
Depicted in many shades
Many ways to catch a fade
And match the skies as colors come to shift
Sun sets at about 6
AJ's liquor, sippin'
I'm drivin' thru all of this

[Hook]
All the smoke
Ain't no mirrors in this story
Through the rain when it's pourin'
Through the pain that I won't show
That they don't know

Still I rise
Still I rhyme

Stayin' down without a solid foundation
With a mission in my chest
And I seek no validation
Words to escape to

Still I rise
Still I Rhyme

[Verse 2]
These words to escape to
Just let my mind fly
To pass the time by
Trains out the side lines
Liquor destroying my hindsight
Gotta get my mind right
Stares as I pass by
'Cause I'm living life against their guidelines
Kids peddling tri-bikes
It kinda takes me back to when everything was alright
Conversations weren't light
These were different times
Before the weather made a change
Somewhere back in 05'
Outside
Homeless on ice slabs
Mexicanos that craft that
Baby bottles and trash bags
Decorating the grass
Them foos shootin' from here to Grand Ave
You know lots of transactions
Getting the blues
They pawnin' all that they have
No judging 'cause I'm writing with dirty hands
And charging it to gods plan
Ask for peace in advance
I'm awakened from my daydream
Juras that's the same thing
The ringing of the sirens
Breaking bottles and crack fiends

[Hook]
All the smoke
Ain't no mirrors in this story
Through the rain when it's pourin'
Through the pain that I won't show
That they don't know

Still I rise
Still I rhyme

Stayin' down without a solid foundation
With a mission in my chest
And I seek no validation
Words to escape to

Still I rise
Still I Rhyme
