Rise

⸻ [Intro – Police Radio] All units respond. Repeat, all units respond. Subject is back on the microphone. Crowd levels rising. Signal overload imminent. Sir… step away from the stage. This is your final warning. [static surge] ⸻ [Verse 1] Temper like a live wire under city concrete Pressure keeps building every time the drums speak Another level, another warning I ignore it Turn the volume up and let the whole floor distort it Smoke in the lungs but the cadence keeps breathing Pain in the chest but the rhythm keeps leading Every setback left a mark I can’t erase now Every cold night turned a spark into a breakdown They talk limits, I was never built to hear that Too many falls turned the fear into impact Step in the center if you think you bring pressure I’ve been carrying weight most people never measure ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Do you feel it? Something shifting Can you hear it? Concrete lifting ⸻ [Chorus] When the lights go out And the skyline breaks Through the pain and smoke We don’t walk away Rise Feel the whole world shake Rise Even when it breaks Rise Nothing left to prove This is how we move ⸻ [Verse 2] Measured chaos with a tactical mind-set Every little obstacle I hit turns into motion, not doubt I tear through, never ask permission or approval Pressure makes diamonds but I made it my removal Storm in the distance, everybody reads the warning I see opportunity the moment it starts forming Never had shortcuts, never had safety nets Every lesson learned came dressed in consequences Some people fold when the pressure starts to climb Some people break when they run out of time I stayed in it, learned to function in the chaos Turned every loss into something that shaped us ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Do you feel it? Something shifting Can you hear it? Concrete lifting ⸻ [Chorus] When the lights go out And the skyline breaks Through the pain and smoke We don’t walk away Rise Feel the whole world shake Rise Even when it breaks Rise Nothing left to prove This is how we move ⸻ [Bridge – Radio Static] All units report. Structural integrity failing across sector nine. Sound levels exceeding containment threshold. We are no longer in control of the situation. ⸻ [Breakdown] Through the pain Through the smoke Through the weight Through the load Still standing Still breathing Still moving Still going ⸻ [Final Chorus] When the lights go out And the skyline breaks Through the pain and smoke We don’t walk away Rise Feel the whole world shake Rise Even when it breaks Rise Nothing left to prove This is how we move Rise Through the pain and smoke Rise Through the pressure and hope Rise When the whole world shakes We don’t walk away
