From an island in the heat To the edges of a dream Power cut, no light again Sweat on the walls, itās closing in Mama counting what we owe I feel the weight but I donāt fold My friend took off, chasing a door I stayed back, fighting for more Same old shift, same worn-out shoes But I got faith Iāll never lose Itās in my chest, I feel it shake Every breath I have to take But I learned in the fallā I donāt break Weāre still strong when the pressure comes down Hit the ground but Iām up right now Through the dark, through the doubt, through it all Iām still here With my people, we donāt let go From the fire, yeah, we still grow Change my pace but I wonāt back down Iām still here Talking late under broken lights Truth comes out in the quiet nights Let it spill, let the hurt run free Iāve been healing whatās inside me I can bend, I can shift my way Lose the plan but Iāll never fade Mind first, keep my spirit clean Money comes but itās not my king From the pain, I learned to rise Lift my brothers by my side If one falls, we donāt runā We fight Weāre still strong when the pressure comes down Hit the ground but Iām up right now Through the dark, through the doubt, through it all Iām still here With my people, we donāt let go From the fire, yeah, we still grow Change my pace but I wonāt back down Iām still here Breathe inā¦ donāt let go Feel it break, feel it flow All the weight we used to hold Turns to gold We were lowā¦ we were lostā¦ But we paid every cost This is real, this is usā Rising up Weāre still strong when the pressure comes down Hit the ground but Iām up right now From the hood to the world, hear the sound Iām still here If it hits, I hit back twice Turn the pain into something bright Through it all, yeah, Iām still alive Iām still here We keep goingā¦ We stay strongā¦ From the islandā¦ Iām still hereā¦
