Lyrics
[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Yeah
Weight on me
Still I rise
[Verse 1]
Mama said
“Keep your head when they look at you strange”
Tie that tie
But remember they can’t cage your name
Walk that line
Between anger and grace each day
Smile on face
But the jaw stay tight with the pain
Carry whole family in a backpack
Bills in a stack, I can’t backtrack
Eyes on me when I walk past
Like I’m out of place in my own land, that’s facts
[Chorus]
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders
But I won’t break, I get bolder
I was built for the fire, I’m chosen
I’m a king, I’m a soldier
Yeah, the weight of the world on my shoulders
Still I rise when it gets colder
Every scar on my skin screaming “go further”
I don’t give up, I get closer
[Verse 2]
They love the rhythm
Scared of the rage that raised it
Label our language
Then profit off how we say it
I see the fear
Every time that they clutch that door
But I see my future
Every time that I touch that floor
Early mornings, I’m the first in
Last one out, that’s the work then
Turn side-eyes to respect, yeah
Turn closed doors to a check, yeah
Little brother need a model he can look at
So I show him every loss is just a look back
Fuel for the fight in your chest when your route’s blocked
We don’t stop, we adapt, make the ground talk
[Chorus]
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders
But I won’t break, I get bolder
I was built for the fire, I’m chosen
I’m a king, I’m a soldier
Yeah, the weight of the world on my shoulders
Still I rise when it gets colder
Every scar on my skin screaming “go further”
I don’t give up, I get closer
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
They try to write my story for me
[louder]
But that pen in my hand now
From the block to the boardroom
Same soul, just a new crown
Hands up for the ones still climbing
Eyes red but the heart still diamond
Say it with me, we ain’t folding
We ain’t folding, we ain’t folding (nah)
[Chorus]
