Wyclef Jean, AUSAR - Hieroglyphics lyrics

'Cause still I rise, ayy cooldown the rod
Cast all my cares to wayside
Won't waste time won't waste time
Make a world hard, some are war side
It's a war call for the future to come
Now bring it back like ooh, ooh

This young David, I'm war ready
To soar heavy
I forced every opponent to change course
And I'm more steady
Pour every ounce of my spirit in it
I sense it, I feel it
I killed it like I'm off a six 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 garned
Garnished my words like a farm of manure
And it's crops for the harvest
Might yield us the target you sow, you reap
The more you keep, the less you gain
Before I meet the reaper
Pray the words I speak become coveted
It's a covenant for change
Sort of like when MLK wanted
To waste the case
I make her pay homage, she leaves before me

'Cause still I rise, ayy cooldown the rod
Cast all my cares to wayside
Won't waste time won't waste time
Make a world hard, some are war side
It's a war call for the future to come
Now bring it back like ooh, ooh

Let's get it started for the dearly departed
No art for niggas just makin'
Money out of the oven 'Cause in they lovin'
They be like the president on the face
Put a lawyer on mace 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
Like 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 holdin' my breath
Underwater like Seal did
We come from the fields
Ooh, bad bunny, unconscious
This is what happened when we
Set off the rocket launchers
When Melly Mel was sayin'
Chaka Khan let me rock this

I was in the projects, doin' the gymnastics
On the pissy mattress, yeah, the big red man
Eddie Cain with five 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 lookin' like kids
But y'all got you lookin' like Godzilla feet
Check the feature, son of a preacher
Last supper boy I be sittin' 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

'Cause still I rise, ayy (I raise)
Cooldown the rod
Cast all my cares to wayside
Won't waste time
Won't waste time (Wate time)
Make a world hard, some are war side
It's a war call for the future to come
Now bring it back like ooh, ooh
