[Intro]
Yeah…
Been down, been low, now watch me go
Still I rise… feel me?
[Verse 1]
I came from the mud, now I’m covered in gold
Used to get played, now I’m breakin’ the mold
Heart been shattered, still I’m bold
I write my pain in bars I told
They laughed when I said I'ma make it
Now they watch every move, tryna fake it
Pressure made diamonds, yeah I had to take it
Now I’m the storm — no way to escape it
[Hook]
Still I rise, no cap in my soul
Took the L’s, turned pain into goals
You can hate, you can lie, you can roll
But I’m too real, too raw, too cold
Still I rise — I ain't foldin’
Heart too big, scars still showin’
But I walk with a crown, they know it
Built from the ground, now I own it
[Verse 2]
People talk like they know my story
But they ain’t bled in the rain for glory
Had nights where I cried 'til morning
Now I shine — no need for warnings
Fake friends gone, I’m solo flyin’
They want the clout but they wasn't tryin’
When I was broke, they was ghost, no lyin’
Now I’m lit and the stars alignin’
[Hook]
Still I rise, no cap in my soul
Took the L’s, turned pain into goals
You can hate, you can lie, you can roll
But I’m too real, too raw, too cold
Still I rise — I ain't foldin’
Heart too big, scars still showin’
But I walk with a crown, they know it
Built from the ground, now I own it
[Bridge]
Fall ten times, I bounce back eleven
Dream so big it stretch to heaven
Tell ‘em I’m next, no guessin’, no beggin’
I’m the truth — no flex, no steppin’
[Outro]
Still I rise — say it louder
Pain made me, now I got power
Every loss was just a lesson
Now I’m up — count your blessings
