[Intro – Stomp / Clap, Low Voices] HEY… (HEY…) HEY… (HEY…) [restrained, building tension — not yet hype] [Verse 1 – Intense, rhythmic delivery] You spoke like you knew who I was inside Like your words were truth, not a place to hide You smiled while cutting me down to size Called it “honest” — just a thin disguise You don’t see the nights I held my breath Trying to survive what you called “jest” You threw your pain like it was my fault But real strength doesn’t need assault [Pre-Chorus – Rising, dramatic] Every time you tried to make me small You showed me how weak you really are I didn’t break — I learned to stand While you were screaming, I became calm [drums begin to rise] HEY… (HEY…) [Chorus – Anthemic, punchy, layered harmonies] If I fall, I rise without a sound If I bleed, I don’t bleed out I don’t scream, I don’t give you that I get stronger than that You needed power, I needed truth You needed fear, I needed proof I don’t become what you throw at me I get stronger than that [Post-Chorus – Controlled chant, tension] Oh — oh… Oh — oh… [steady, restrained — not celebratory yet] [Verse 2 – Cinematic tension] You fed on doubt like it kept you alive Picked at the cracks just to feel justified You called me weak — here’s the truth You only attack what reminds you of you I carried the weight you refused to face Turned your damage into restraint You tried to make me disappear But I learned how to stand right here [Pre-Chorus – Layered male harmonies] You confuse being loud with being strong But strength doesn’t need a crowd I survived what you couldn’t stop And that’s what hurts you now [full drop — one breath] HEY. [Chorus – Bigger, full impact] If I fall, I rise without a sound If I bleed, I don’t bleed out I don’t scream, I don’t give you that I get stronger than that You needed power, I needed truth You needed fear, I needed proof I don’t become what you throw at me I get stronger than that [Bridge – Low, mythic, building to full release] You never wanted me broken You wanted me beneath you But I learned something you never did Strength isn’t taking Strength is surviving STAND — UP. STAND — TALL. I don’t wear your name on my skin I don’t carry your shame within STAND — UP. STAND — TALL. [drums explode — full band slams in] [Final Chorus – Biggest, cinematic, controlled fury] If I fall, I rise without a sound If I bleed, I don’t bleed out I don’t scream, I don’t give you that I get stronger than that You tried to define me by your doubt But I outgrew the space you shout from I’m not what you tried to make of me I’M STRONGER — THAN — THAT STRONGER — THAN — THAT [Outro – Calm, victorious, crowd chant] WE — DON’T — BREAK WE — DON’T — BEND STRONGER — THAN — THAT
