Lyrics by Akinola Omotola
Still I Rise!
STILL I RISE!
Pre Chorus:
I can't stop, gotta keep moving
I will be just fine, I'd be alright
Verse 1:
Hmm, it's a hard knock life
Unreality is the camouflage
Some say i fell in this race called life
I can't remember wearing my boots with anyone
That we should race
And don't recall my creator telling me not to get up if I fall
Well,
It gets harder every single day
But every single day, If I get wiser
I'd fight better
Chorus:
This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine
No, I won't waste my time. Not while the sun still shines
I've got so much to give yeh
I've got so much to give
I'm not gonna die while I live
Oh oh oh. still I rise
I'd get up
Verse 2:
I've still got the fight in me
knowing I can't turn land into sea
That I live to fight another day
Oh, I'd face the storm
I won't chase it, nah I wont
There's no point
Though I fell so hard
That I became a dead man walking
Something to make a movie of
An idea that makes people gather
And laugh
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
But still I rise. Still I will fight
‘All the gods, all of heaven and hell are within you’
I couldn't agree more
So I'd put in the work.. not for place or show
Eh, I'm my greatest fan. Greatest saviour
Yeah,
I'd go for hard choices now, might get an easy life
later
I'd kick life in the face while I'm still where I fell.
(Outro)
