Through the darkest times (Omo I rise...) Man go fall ten times (But me I rise...) [Instrumental up] [Verse 1 - Storytelling brut] Through the coldest nights, I dey talk to self Doubt for my chest like bullet for vest Man dey drown, no light, no rest But Baba God still dey put me to test No food for plate, no bed, just ground No hope, just pain, just stress, no sound But inside the dark, I dey find my way Every scar wey I get, omo, now e dey pay Dem say "Boy, you no go make am" (Lie!) Dem say "Music no go take am" (Try!) Now my voice dey shake foundation From Lagos streets to world rotation [Dramatic pause] [Chorus - Hymne puissant] Watch me rise up! (Stand up!) Through the fire, through the fight! (No retreat!) Watch me rise up! (Stand tall!) Till my voice reach Heaven’s height! (No defeat!) Say I rise up! (Higher!) From the bottom to the throne! (See me shine!) Watch me rise up! (Fire!) Breaking chains and standing strong! (This my time!) [Dramatic Hook] [Speed Verse - 16 bars - Flow percussif] Man dey talk say I no fit climb, Now my name dey spread like crime. Man dey fight, but me I dey time, Omo no rush, me I dey prime. Started from nothing, omo I grind, Pain be my teacher, omo I sign. Every loss, omo be like line, Me I connect, me I define. No fit break, omo I dey hold, Dem try test, omo dem be cold. Every day be like war zone, But me I dey move like I be stone. Dem dey cap, but omo I no hear, Me I dey fly, omo no fear. See my past, omo be nightmare, But now I dey stand, omo I swear! [Break] [Verse 3 - Affirmation & Promesse] Now I stand before you, testimony clear, Every fall, every scar, every drop of tear. Dem try bury me, but I root too deep, Now I grow tall, omo I no fit sleep. See my fire, e dey burn too strong, Even system no fit hold me long. Dem go watch, dem go see, dem go fear, Cuz I rise till my name reach air! [Climax] [Final Chorus - Apothéose, explosion vocale] Watch me rise up! (Stand up!) Through the fire, through the fight! (No retreat!) Watch me rise up! (Stand tall!) Till my voice reach Heaven’s height! (No defeat!) Say I rise up! (Higher!) From the bottom to the throne! (See me shine!) Watch me rise up! (Fire!) Breaking chains and standing strong! (This my time!) [Beat down] [Outro - Acapella, moment suspendu] Through the darkest valleys (Keep the faith...) To the highest mountains (Reach the stars...) Omo, I never surrender...
