NDC Summer Bingo Challenge: [B3] Genre: Spoken-Word Rap Theme: Resistance Lyrics: Heavy boots on concrete, Every step is a promise, Silence is a weapon, But I’m not silent. They draw lines in the dust, Try to box me in, Every word a border, But I redraw with my chin. Pressure in the chest, But I breathe in deep, No one writes my ending, I’m not theirs to keep. Walls get higher, Voices get loud, But I plant my feet, Refuse to bow. Stand up I won’t bend, Stand up Again and again. Every push, every shove, I hold my ground, Stand up I won’t bend. Eyes on the target, Doubt in the air, They throw stones of silence, But I’m still there. Truth in my pocket, Steel in my jaw, I walk through the static, Unshaken, raw. Pressure’s a teacher, I learn, I adapt, They try to erase me, But I write back. Stand up I won’t bend, Stand up Again and again. Every push, every shove, I hold my ground, Stand up I won’t bend. If I stumble, I rise, If I’m silent, I plan, Strength isn’t loud, It’s the will to withstand. Stand up I won’t bend, Stand up Again and again. Every push, every shove, I hold my ground, Stand up I won’t bend. Heavy boots on concrete, I’m still here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- © BEAT 2025 All rights reserved. This lyrics is protected by copyright.
