[Intro]
[Dirty guitar riff]
[Drums build]
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
Come on!
[Verse 1]
I took a hit,
I took the fall,
Lost my grip,
Lost it all.
Heart got kicked,
Dreams got burned,
Took my licks,
But I learned.
(Yes I did)
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I was finished,
You thought I was through,
Now I got something
To prove to you!
[baby yeah!]
[Chorus]
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
When you knock me down!
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
I’ll come back around!
You can break my heart,
You can steal my pride,
But I’ll get back up—
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
[Oh yeah!]
[Verse 2]
Lost some friends,
Lost some love,
Took my hits,
Got knocked down.
Heart got cracked,
Dreams got bruised,
Took the pain,
But I refused.
[Oh yeah!]
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I was broken,
You thought I was done,
But baby, you know me—
I’m just getting started!
[Oh yeah!]
[Chorus]
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
When you knock me down!
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
I come around!
You can break my heart,
You can steal my pride,
But I’ll get up—
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
[Oh baby yeah!]
(PICK IT!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bluesy, explosive lead guitar]
[Drums pounding]
[Chorus]
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
When you knock me down!
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
I’ll come back around!
You can break my heart,
You can steal my pride,
But I’ll get back up—
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
[Oh yeah!]
[Verse 3]
It made me weak,
But I got strong.
It made me freak,
Made me write this song.
It can’t be bad
When I don’t quit.
I work through pain—
SO FUCK THAT SHIT!
[Final Chorus]
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
When you knock me down!
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
I’ll come back around!
You can break my heart,
You can steal my pride,
But I’ll get back up—
I KNOW HOW TO RISE!
[YEAH!]
[Outro]
[Guitar riff]
Knock me down!
I get back up!
Knock me down!
I GET BACK UP!
[Final guitar hit]
I KNOW HOW TO RISE… YEAH!
