[Verse 1]
Mama said keep your chin up
Rain been testing my roof
Bills on the table, no cushion
I been chasing the proof
Shoes got holes in the sole now
Still I step like I’m fine
Every door got a chain on it
But I still look for a sign
[Pre-Chorus]
I been carrying a lot
Too much for these hands
Every scar got a story
Every loss got a plan
If I fall, I fall forward
I don’t bend, I don’t break
I been learning to breathe
With a storm in my face
[Chorus]
I made it through the concrete rain
I made it through the concrete rain
Took my name, took my peace
Still I rise with the pain
I made it through the concrete rain
(I made it through)
I made it through the concrete rain
(Concrete rain)
[Verse 2]
Late fees, cold rooms, thin hope
Phone on low, no sleep
Friends say “you changed” like it’s easy
When the hunger runs deep
Lost a few nights to the ceiling
Lost a few prayers in the dark
But the cracks let the light in
And it stitched up my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I been carrying a lot
Too much for these hands
Every scar got a story
Every loss got a plan
If I fall, I fall forward
I don’t bend, I don’t break
I been learning to breathe
With a storm in my face
[Chorus]
I made it through the concrete rain
I made it through the concrete rain
Took my name, took my peace
Still I rise with the pain
I made it through the concrete rain
(I made it through)
I made it through the concrete rain
(Concrete rain)
[Bridge]
If you see me move slow
I’m still moving somehow
I got dust on my dreams
But I’m here, I’m here now
All the weight tried to own me
All the fear tried to stay
But I learned how to carry
What could not be taken away
[Final Chorus]
I made it through the concrete rain
I made it through the concrete rain
Took my name, took my peace
Still I rise with the pain
I made it through the concrete rain
(I made it through)
I made it through the concrete rain
(Concrete rain)
