[Intro]
Yeah
They wonder how I do it
How I carry all that weight
Watch this
[Verse 1]
Got scars on my name, still I walk like a trophy
Pressure in my face, but the pressure never broke me
Whole world loud, tryna drown out my focus
I just breathe deep, turn the struggle to a slogan
They throw shade, I turn it into shelter
They throw flames, I turn it into embers
I been lifting up pain like plates on a bar
Now every step I take hits hard like a charge
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the hell all around me (yeah)
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t drown me (you can’t)
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, I will never let it fall
I’m stronger than the hell all around me (stronger)
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t ground me (no way)
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, hear the echo in the hall (let’s go)
[Verse 2]
Weight on my shoulders, that’s fuel for my stride
Every hit that I took put some steel in my spine
Talk cheap, I just answer with the scoreboard
Every setback turned into another war cry
Head high when the odds look brutal
Heart loud when the crowd go neutral
I been running through the fire like it’s just warm air
Every burn just proves I was really right there
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the hell all around me (yeah)
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t drown me (nah)
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, I will never let it fall
I’m stronger than the hell all around me (stronger)
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t ground me
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, raise your fist, stand tall (hey!)
[Bridge]
They ask, “How you stand when it all turns dark?”
I say, “Every last scar lit a fire in my heart” (woo)
They ask, “How you run with the world on your back?”
I say, “I don’t run from the weight, I attack”
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the hell all around me (oh)
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t drown me
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, I will never let it fall
I’m stronger than the hell all around me
Not letting life bring me down, you can’t ground me
People wonder how I carry it all
But I rise, but I rise, hear the echo in the hall (let’s go)
