Title: “Still I Rise (Drixxal)”
Intro
Yeah…
Mm
Another long night
But I’m still here
Verse 1
I been moving with a heavy heart
Dreams in my head, but I’m still at the start
Same old room, new kind plans
Life no easy for a patient man
I watch the city through a cracked screen
Everybody rushing, nobody see me
But I know my time no far away
So I breathe, reset, then pray
I been broke with expensive dreams
Laughing outside, inside deep
If you know my nights, you know my days
You know say nothing come easy my way
I don’t shout loud, I don’t complain
I put my pain inside melodies
If you hear my voice and feel something
That’s my truth speaking quietly
Pre-Chorus
They don’t know how far I’ve come
They just see the man I’m becoming
If I tell you “I’m almost there”
Believe me
Chorus
Still I rise, even when I’m tired
Still I try when my hope feel quiet
I’m chasing love and a better life
Same heart, just stronger now
If you stay, you stay for real
If you leave, I heal and move
Still I rise, still I fight
Still I believe in me
Verse 2
I want love wey understand my grind
When I disappear, don’t change your mind
Not the type to rush my pace
But walk with me through the wait
I no promise gold or sky
But I promise truth and time
If I make it, we make it
If I fall, I still try
I seen friends turn strangers quick
Seen loyalty turn to myth
So I guard my heart, but it still soft
I just don’t give it out for nothing
If I love you, it’s intentional
Not for show, not for mention
Just two souls growing slow
While the world dey make noise
Pre-Chorus
They don’t know how far I’ve come
They just see the man I’m becoming
If I tell you “I’m almost there”
Believe me
Chorus
Still I rise, even when I’m tired
Still I try when my hope feel quiet
I’m chasing love and a better life
Same heart, just stronger now
If you stay, you stay for real
If you leave, I heal and move
Still I rise, still I fight
Still I believe in me
Bridge
Late nights teach lessons
Pain build direction
I don’t need to rush greatness
I trust progression
If you hear my name tomorrow
Know say I paid my dues
If you love me now, love me true
This road no fake
Verse 3
One day this song go play somewhere far
And somebody go feel less alone
They no know my face, but they feel my heart
That’s how I know I’ve grown
I don’t want fame wey empty inside
I want success I can sleep with
Peace of mind, real love close
And a future I believe in
Final Chorus
Still I rise, even when I’m tired
Still I shine when the road feel tight
I’m chasing love and a better life
And I’m closer now
If the world doubt me again
I’ll smile and keep my pace
Still I rise, still I stand
This my time… just wait
Outro
Yeah…
Still here
Still rising
