[Intro]
Yeah…
Life hit hard but I still throw a grin,
Storms all around but I dance in the wind.
Check’s too small, rent too high,
But I stay fly, spirit won't die.
[Verse 1]
Up at 6, no breakfast, cold brew,
Boss on my back like I owe dude dues.
Baby mama trippin’, textin’ all caps,
Child support hit before I unwrap my snacks.
Week to week, barely gas in the tank,
Clockin’ in pain, still I walk that plank.
Friday night come, I sip to escape,
Then stumble through Saturday half awake.
[Hook]
But I don’t break, nah, I bend with grace,
Still crack jokes with a smile on my face.
Bills pile up, stress get loud,
But I keep my peace, head high and proud.
I vibe through the struggle, hustle with pride,
Even when I’m hurtin’, I still survive.
Pain in my chest, but hope in my eyes,
Every damn time, you know — still I rise.
[Bridge]
Yeah, paycheck gone, but I still got soul,
Life ain’t fair, but I’m still on roll.
Turn setbacks into beats and bars,
Wear my flaws like battle scars.
I laugh through tears, make plans from pain,
Grind all week just to dance in the rain.
[Verse 2]
Saturday wildin’, Henny in hand,
Sunday regret but I still got a plan.
Pick up my son, tell him I’m tryna grow,
Ain’t perfect but love him more than he know.
No Benz, no mansion, no fame,
But I give him truth, not playin' no games.
One foot forward through chaos and noise,
Prayin’ for peace, but I still bring the voice.
[Hook]
But I don’t break, nah, I bend with grace,
Still crack jokes with a smile on my face.
Bills pile up, stress get loud,
But I keep my peace, head high and proud.
I vibe through the struggle, hustle with pride,
Even when I’m hurtin’, I still survive.
Pain in my chest, but hope in my eyes,
Every damn time, you know — still I rise.
[Bridge]
They can’t dim what was lit from the start,
My shine too bright, got fire in my heart.
I talk to God when I feel that weight,
Then breathe in deep and just trust my fate.
[Outro]
So when you see me smile, know it came from hell,
Turned my losses into stories I tell.
Ain’t rich in cash, but I’m paid in peace,
Keep it movin’ ‘til all the madness cease.
Life tough, but I still survive,
Still got dreams, still alive…
Still I rise.
Still I rise.
Still I rise.
(Yeah... still I rise.)
