Persevere Songtext
von Robert Glasper Experiment

Wait, we cool, Keith?
Yeah, Mark, just come in, so I won′t lose it

The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere
The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere

Past interference, perseverance
Now let me say this clearly 'cause I needs no clearance
Do you have insurance for you and your children?
I say that I don′t just to make an appearance
I'm standing tall on the ball, leaning back
Black power, loc, I'm tryna bring the meaning back
Seems like a wish away
Chilling like a villain on the corner with a burner and a pickle plate


Freeze tag, nah, nigga, ease back
Sacking up a P snack of the creased knack
In the V-Zac, or maybe it′s the freezer
We getting money on the spot where the G′s are

And we never gon' slip up
Until we get the whole zip up, tip up, cripple
Die until the sun rise up to the stars
County jail bars, beats and breaks
And you know when the night comes

The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere
The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere

Violent shindig, bloody dance floor

Violet Prince wig, what he stand for?
Kimmy ranking in lotus position, sit with the quickness
Like a twisted double shore, it′s miss


What is Christmas in the cat house?
Copious Santa hat and hoes blowing they backs out
Fifteen, meanwhile at the aftermath of the dance floor
Hit scene, sixteen like Kimmy when he's pitting
With blood gently dripping
It′s something from Rudyard Kipling
Or Trevanian, whoa, Navalanian
Characteristics caricatured into ridiculous
In some mad fit imagining the status of the bones that his fist hit

He'll die a little later
Or maybe later more wearing something from Ada Roar
Nigga rich and waiter poor
Firefighter igniting the paper while
Inside of the player′s bow in the dark

The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere
The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere

The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere

The world is so insane, I gotta maintain
Nothing is easy here
Stand tall through the rain, my heart will never change
I gotta persevere

I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
I gotta persevere
