They can't keep you down when you fly
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Try to take my shine you can try
But just like the sun I'ma rise
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Came from the bottom what a ride yeah
Now I'm at the top I'm so high
That if I ever fall off I can glide
They try to keep me down try to keep me down
They stay talking down I feel so renown
Came up from nothing accustomed to struggling
Now I'm living lovely what a turnaround
Got it out the mud oh my
Leaving off that mud oh my
Throw my name in the dirt I don't mind
'Cause still like the dust I'ma rise
Do my glow make you uncomfortable?
Do my shine cause your demise?
Do this sauce that I be dripping off kinda set you off?
If yes, then why?
Versace slides medusa shades to cover my eyes
So fly I don't walk I glide
Don't wanna see me grow hit them niggas with that pesticide
I'm too up to keep kept dine (Down)
They can't keep you down when you fly
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Try to take my shine you can try
But just like the sun I'ma rise
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Came from the bottom what a ride yeah
Now I'm at the top I'm so high
That if I ever fall off I can glide
They try to keep me down, try to keep me down
They stay talking down I feel so renowned
Put them on the wave yo shit watered down
Graduated from the hate I need cap and gown
Wonder why I'm so spiffy when I make an appearance
'Cause when I'm fly, them lames can never get near me
Got on my shit and turned all my critics to crickets
Tried to put me in a box when they saw I was gifted
Go ahead and then
Judge me by my skin or the clothes I'm in
Constipation no I don't give a shit
Foreign kicks, foreign whip, foreign bitch got me feeling like an immigrant
I be out here making moves and these niggas got paralysis
If I was you I'd be mad at this
I'ma king bitch address me as your majesty
I'ma king bitch address me as your majesty
None can keep me down except gravity
Do the most just to see how mad they get
Bring up your failure when they see all your accomplishment
Ain't tryna hear that shit
Here's your receipt keep yo lil 2 cents, bitch
'Cause ain't ask for help
Worried 'bout the next man is bad for health, nigga
Matter fact, take a second and just ask your self
Do my glow make you uncomfortable?
Do my shine cause your demise?
Do this sauce that I be dripping off kinda tic you off?
If yes, then why?
Versace slides medusa shades to cover my eyes
So fly I don't walk I glide
Don't wanna see me grow hit them niggas with that pesticide
If you down then let me remind
They can't keep you down when you fly
They can't keep you down when you fly
Try to take my shine you can try
But just like the sun I'ma rise
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Came from the bottom what a ride yeah
Now I'm at the top I'm so high
That if I ever fall off I'ma glide
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
They can't keep you down when you fly
They can't keep you down when you fly
They can't keep me down you can try
They can't keep you down when you fly yeah
Came from the bottom what a ride yeah
Came from the bottom but I rise yeah
Came from the bottom still I rise yeah
