INTRO (spoken, raw & poetic)
Yeah…
They don’t know what it took to be me.
They don’t know them nights I prayed, cried, fought, and rose.
But I’m still here…
Stronger than ever.
⸻
🎶 HOOK (soulful + powerful)
It’s me against the world but I rise, I rise
Through the pain, through the lies, still I shine, I shine
They tried to break me down but I survived, survived
A queen with a war cry — look me in my eyes
I rise, I rise…
Yeah, I rise, I rise…

🔥 VERSE 1 (storytelling like Pac)
Walked through fire with my heart on my sleeve
People I loved switched sides on me
I was down on my knees, still fightin’ to breathe
Tryna heal from the wounds nobody could see
Born in a world that don’t love girls like me
Had to grow up fast, learn to fight for my peace
Every scar on my body is a chapter to read
I’m the rose from concrete — strong, wild, and free
They judged what they saw, never cared what I felt
Didn’t ask about my pain, just the cards I was dealt
Tried to steal my voice, tried to silence my yell
But I rose from the ashes — I rebuilt myself

Yeah, I rise, I rise…

🔥 VERSE 2 (raw truth, female strength)
Yeah, I been broken but I’m dangerous too
All the storms that I faced taught me what to do
I ain’t scared of no loss — I done lost a few
Had to stand on my own when nobody came through
Got trauma on my back but I walk with pride
Got angels on my shoulder, ancestors on my side
When the world turned cold, I refused to hide
I became my own sun, lit the dark inside
I’m the truth they fear, the voice they can’t block
Every beat of my heart is a ticking of the clock
’Cause my time coming in, yeah I’m breaking the lock
I’m a queen with a vision and I talk like Pac
⸻
🎵 BRIDGE (emotional, poetic)
I’m made of pain, but I’m made of fire
Every setback built me higher
I’m a storm… I’m a survivor
A soul that can’t expire
⸻
🎶 FINAL HOOK
It’s me against the world but I rise, I rise
Through the pain, through the lies, still I shine, I shine
They tried to break me down but I survived, survived
A queen with a war cry — look me in my eyes
I rise, I rise…
Yeah, I rise, I rise…
