[Intro] [Soft Vocals -enter] [Spoken Echoed Vocals] This is for those who feel unheard, unnoticed, unseen. For those who've been pushed around, and told they'd never be [Echo] never be enough. enough enough You know in your heart and in your soul that you are extraordinary. So starting today, you refuse to hide [echo gets louder] that fire, fire fire that light you carry. [low vocal octave underneath] This is the uprising. [Verse 1] [R&B vocals, sparse beat, sub-bass pulsing] I built walls that were meant to keep me safe I kept quiet while staying in my own lane too many times I held my tongue too many times I lost and should've won black boots treading soil they used to bury me these scars I earned, and proudly carry, You can't hold back, what's been burning Can't stop the tide from rolling in, once it's turning [Chorus] Can you hear it in the ground? Something's shaking underneath Every time they pushed me down They were planting seeds Swallowed the smoke- swallowed my pride- while so much of me was dying inside until the anger got so heavy I lost it Unleashed my wrath and the wrong ones caught it [Verse 2] the air got thick, and the voices got louder, weakness found comfort in the mouth of the abyss I began to drown in and as the lights went out, [Silence] [Music stops] [Soft vocals enter] (Echoed Vocals] [wailing] I saw the faces of the angels that saved me and then I realized, this is the moment that changes everything [Drop] [heavy bass drop] [low vocal octave underneath] This the moment of of the Uprising this is me, [low vocal octave underneath] this is the uprising u u u uprising I've been too blind to see that whats right in front of me Is all I ever needed they have no power over me, [Chorus] Every scar I earned, I carry You can't hold what's already burning Can't stop the tide once it's turning [low vocal octave underneath] This is the uprising (Rising, rising) Im not wasting no more time but I'm taking back whats mine I don't need to ask for nothin cuz I got all that I need were doing just fine cuz were doin it right they have no power over me [Drop] [heavy wobble bass drop] [Chorus] Can you hear it in the streets? Every voice they tried to keep Every one you told to kneel Is standing up with me [Drop] [Bridge] I was the ash, I was the smoke I was the girl who almost broke [Build] [Final Chorus] [low vocal octave underneath] This is the uprising Watch us rise from what you buried This is the uprising black boots treading soil they used to bury me these scars I earned, and proudly carry, You can't hold back, what's been burning Can't stop the tide from rolling once it's turning [low vocal octave underneath] This is the uprising We we we we are uprising
