Maya A

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

Pumping in my living room

Just like moons and like suns

With the certainty of tides

Just like hopes springing high

Still I'll rise

Prime Candidate

Where will you be when the trumpet is blown?

Will you be at home or sleeping in your girlfriend's floor fornicating

Or be In street with the boys gambling, smoking, drinking cheating, rackеteering

And there he go and еmbrace sexual emorallity abortion on the high ground all season

Even sordom was destroyed for the same reason

Only your friends tells you the truth even when it's bitter

No one is ready to help you bro there not your father

These days people embrace you all on social media

They'll worship you for real when you're top of the game

And poof They'll disappear when you slipped in the rain

10 years before now it was blackberry

10 years after today it is something scary believe me bro am not an emissary

Even Jesus was crucified dead and buried

Maya A

Does my sasiness upset you?

Don't you take it so hard just

’Cause I laugh as if I've got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard

You can shoot me with your words

You can cut me with your eyes

You can kill me with your hatefulness

But just like life I’ll rise

Does my sexiness offend you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance

Prime Candidate

Every girl's dream to marry someone that is rich

And every boys dream is to be successful and that is it

Buying big cars big house with swimming pool

Portrait of Monalisa on the wall staring

Any moment is a turning point

If you decide to make the most of it and that's the joint

No one is gonna make you happy except yourself

Not expecting from others is the first step

Life is not perfect remove all expectations

Don't envy someone success

No need for explanation your file is under process

And when you've gone and when the judgment day comes

And there you go in the front line defending yourself

Maya A

Does my sasiness upset you?

Don't you take it so hard just

’Cause I laugh as if I've got gold mines

Diggin’ in my Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak  miraculously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave

I am the hope and the  dream of the slave

I rise
