RISE

[Verse 1 – steady, restrained] I used to let my demons control me Used to feel like breaking down Everything that almost destroyed me I turned to armor, wore the crown The hard way Yeah, I learned it Didn’t listen to the voice That said I’m strong Guard up Mind was burning Built a prison Called it home ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – tension build] Years of searching in the dark Trying to find my steady heart Every scar became a spark Now I know who I am ⸻ [DROP / CHORUS – punchy, chantable] I rise From the smoke From the silence I rise Through the weight Through the violence I rise (rise) I rise (rise) No disguises No more hiding Now I rise ⸻ [Post-Drop Hook – rhythmic variation] From the fire From the fall From the nights I thought I’d lost it all I rise ⸻ [Verse 2 – confident, less victim, more power] Used to think the pain defined me Thought I’d never break the chain But pressure didn’t come to end me It carved my name into the flame Every doubt that tried to drown me Every voice that said “You’re done” All the weight that tried to ground me Built the strength I’m standing on ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – bigger build] All the years inside the storm Every version I outgrew I don’t fear what I’ve been through It made me ⸻ [FINAL DROP – bigger, layered] I rise From the smoke From the silence I rise Through the weight Through the violence I rise (rise) I rise (rise) No disguises No more hiding Now I rise
