[Intro, Piano Jazz, Vinyl Crackle] (Yeah... we rise again...) [Soul hum, soft synth pads...] [Verse 1, Boom Bap Flow] Streets talk in whispers, cold and thin, Life starts over where the pain’s been, No crown, but I fight to win, Every scar a story carved in skin. Mama said “child, don’t lose your flame,” Even when the system don’t know your name, So I rhyme for the hungry, the ones in the frame, Of a world built crooked but we play the game. [Pre-Chorus, Afro Percussion, Jazzy Bass] (Ooh yeah... rise slow...) (Ooh yeah... let it glow...) [Chorus, Catchy Loop Hook, Soul Sample Style] We get up — every time we fall (yeah, we get up!) We get up — still standin’ tall (yeah, we get up!) From the dust, from the pain, through it all... We get up — we rise, we rise, we rise! [Verse 2, Detroit Rap Drive, Deep 808 Bass] Empty pockets but I got a gold soul, Dreams heavy like a record roll, Hustle in the night, never lost control, Turnin’ pressure to rhythm, that’s my goal. I’ve seen cities break men to the bone, But the poor still build it stone by stone, Can’t own the sun, can’t steal the tone, Our voice is fire, we claim our throne. [Bridge, Piano Solo + Glitch Textures + Afro Groove] (Yeah... feel that rise...) From the dust to the sky, We ain’t ghosts, we alive, Every tear’s a reason to survive. [Chorus, Sample Loop Reprise, Euphoric Fade] We get up — every time we fall (yeah, we get up!) We get up — still standin’ tall (yeah, we get up!) From the dust, from the pain, through it all... We get up — we rise, we rise, we rise! [Outro, Lo-Fi Crackle, Repeating Loop Fades Out] (We rise... we rise... we rise...) Still standin’, still dreamin’ — we get up.
