[Pre-Intro]
LIFE HITS HARD... AND I WILL RISE
[Intro] (low growl)
Yeah... again.
[Verse 1]
Spit in my face, boot on my chest
Counting the cracks where I lay with the rest! Blood in my mouth, fire in my hands
Laugh while I stagger—bitch, you don’t understand!
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar’s a sermon
Every fall births a new beginning
[Chorus]
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
Kiss the ground, then I charge even faster
Breath burns, heart slams like thunder
I get up, I get up, motherfucker
You can throw your storms, I was forged in the wind
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
I get up... I get up again
[Verse 2]
Broke all my plans, ripped right at the seams
Slept in the ashes of my shattered dreams
You call it losing, I call it proof
Still swinging heavy, broken but bulletproof
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise is a banner
Every “no” just loads the hammer
[Chorus]
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
Kiss the ground, then I charge even faster
Breath burns, heart slams like thunder
I get up, I get up, motherfucker
You can throw your storms, I was forged in the wind
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
I get up... I get up again
[Bridge]
Count me out... I’ll count to ten
(low & menacing)
One for the rage
Two for the pain
Three for every wasted day
Four for the times I stayed
When I should’ve walked away
Five... Six...
Seven... Eight...
I turn every fear into a blade
Nine... Ten...
Say it loud, bitch—
I WILL RISE
[Final Chorus] (biggest, full belt, layered vocals)
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
Kiss the ground, then I charge even faster
Breath burns, heart slams like thunder
I get up, I get up, motherfucker
You can throw your storms, I was forged in the wind
Life hits hard—I hit back harder
Watch me rise... I RISE AGAIN!
[Outro] (half-time, massive, raw)
I get up... (echo)
I get up... (echo)
Life can swing—
I swing harder
Heart still pounding, scars like armor
Throw your worst, I’ll take the pain
Then I rise, rise, rise again
(final scream)
I WILL RISE AGAIN!
