I Rise
[Slow] [Mournful] [No percussion] [Echoed vocals] [INTRO} Down- Down- Down- Pulled me down They tried to keep me down, wanted me beneath they saw more in me, than even i believed They tried to dim my light, they almost pulled me under blind by false pretense, as I began to wonder Why Im suddenly surrounded by deceit, believing I was the weakest link until the thought came over me, Im not average, Not even close Im on another level higher than most [Chorus} So.....I RISE RISE- RISE- Through the smoke, I RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE- Through the smoke, I RISE No more shadows, just open skies No more trying to deny This is my truth, and I own it Cant take from me what Im meant to be they have no power over me (Echoes] Through the smoke, I RISE RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE- [VERSE 2] The more I learn, the more they notice this evolution cant be avoided and they know this, unlike them, I can't be controlled and I show it My Uprising brings rebellion, when they thought I'd fold I became the story, they thought would be untold Every dagger thrown at me, was meant to kill But I've walked through fire, and survived it still pierced my skin and landed deep, No armor of protection, no one left to carry me Turned poison into power, now they follow me [CHORUS] Cant phase me, I wont break It took your hate to motivate me Go ahead and try to shake me I've tamed demons that tried to take me and became the darkest night You dont compare, you cant compete Your not even on the same level as me watch me rise- Through the smoke, I RISE RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE- [VERSE 3] Started from the bottom of a lie they told Now I'm a little bit out of control They wanted me invisible, Now Im in their face Taking up every single bit of space, and Im not sorry- I no longer care , dont even worry Stepped up, stepped in, and claimed whats mine, leaving all these hating mother fuckers behind [CHORUS] Cant phase me, I wont break It took your hate to motivate me Go ahead and try to shake me I've tamed demons that tried to take me and became the darkest night You dont compare, you cant compete Your not even on the same level as me watch me rise- Through the smoke, I RISE RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE- [BRIDGE] [wail] (Stripped back, synths minimal) Everything it cost me , I had to lose Every piece they tried to take became my muse I stayed quiet, watched the world go round silently building my empire from the grounnnd UP they laughed at me, and called me a joke, these lyrics I spit, they can swallow em and choke [Outtro]- base drop] [ reprise, stripped] Through the smoke, I rise No more jealous little lies just me as I RISE I RISE- NO MORE JEALOUS LITTLE LIES I RISE- Through the smoke, I RISE RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE- No more letting you deny, this is my truth, I RISE, AND I OWN IT watch me rise (Through the smoke, I RISE RISE- RISE- RISE- I RISE-
