[Verse 1]
They said fit the mold,
I said watch me drift.
Told me play it safe,
I said I want the risk.
Built with my own hands,
blisters on my palms.
Climbed for a seat,
while they counted my flaws.
No gold in my name,
still I learned to shine.
Every locked door,
I found a crack in time.
Made my own lane,
knew the road would shake.
If it’s my life, baby,
I choose my own weight.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was high on the climb,
thought I’d never fall.
Then the floor gave out,
heard that cold wind call.
Tried to numb that hurt,
tried to drown that ache.
One bad night,
then another same mistake.
[Chorus]
I rise, I fall, I rise again
(again, again)
I lose my crown, then I start again
(start again)
I want my own life, not their damn plan
(their plan, their plan)
I rise, I fall, I rise again
[Verse 2]
Ran to the bottle
when the fame went thin.
Ran to the powder
just to feel less skin.
Hid in the dark
with a smile that lied.
Said I was fine,
but I split inside.
Friends kept calling,
I kept on the run.
Chasing that relief
like a loaded gun.
Every cheap high
took a bigger toll.
What I fed the pain
tore a hole in my soul.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was high on the climb,
thought I’d never fall.
Then the floor gave out,
heard that cold wind call.
Tried to numb that hurt,
tried to drown that ache.
One bad night,
then another same mistake.
[Chorus]
I rise, I fall, I rise again
(again, again)
I lose my crown, then I start again
(start again)
I want my own life, not their damn plan
(their plan, their plan)
I rise, I fall, I rise again
[Bridge]
Now I know the low
ain’t where I belong.
Had to face that mirror,
had to get that strong.
Took the last bad hit
and I threw it away.
Pain don’t own my name,
not another day.
[Final Chorus]
I rise, I fall, I rise again
(again, again)
I lose my crown, then I start again
(start again)
I want my own life, not their damn plan
(their plan, their plan)
I rise, I fall, I rise again
