[Verse 1]
Had an accident on a moto
face in the dust, I still stood up
Back hit the world like a red light
but I kept my hands on the wheel, love
They said, "You might not bounce back"
I said, "Watch me walk through the fire"
Every scar on my skin got a story
every bruise turned the doubt into vapor
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not broken
I was down, not done
You can throw me in the deep end
I still swim for the sun
[Chorus]
I believe in myself
I believe in myself
Don't let it stop you
Don't let it stop you
I rise with the pain
I rise with the pain
I came back stronger
Stronger than the shame
[Verse 2]
They smiled in my face, then they switched up
same hands that I trusted, they cut me
Stabbed in the back, left it open
left me bleeding out words I could not say
I sat with the hurt in my chest, yeah
learned how to breathe through the pressure
Turned all that venom to lessons
turned all that loss into metal
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not broken
I was down, not done
You can throw me in the deep end
I still swim for the sun
[Chorus]
I believe in myself
I believe in myself
Don't let it stop you
Don't let it stop you
I rise with the pain
I rise with the pain
I came back stronger
Stronger than the shame
[Bridge]
Now I wear my history loud
like a chain on a healed-up neck
I know what it costs to survive
I know how to pay that debt
If you feel like you can't go on
hold on to the breath in your lungs
The world tried to fold me in half
but I came back harder than drums
[Final Chorus]
I believe in myself
I believe in myself
Don't let it stop you
Don't let it stop you
I rise with the pain
I rise with the pain
I came back stronger
Stronger than the shame
