(Verse 1) Steady thoughts keep playin’ in my head, Going through the motions just to get ahead. Tellin’ everybody that I’m doin’ alright, Keepin’ all the heavy stuff locked up tight. The pain let me know that I’m still alive, Scars tell stories from a darker time. Glass full of that liquid courage, Thought I finally had my life all working. Just for it all to come full circle, Remindin’ me I’m still hurt though. Spendin’ every night with a bottle of brown, Walkin’ around like I wore a crown. No purpose, no reason why — Exactly what I thought inside. (Pre-Hook 1) Just when you feel like dyin’, Just when the pain comes slidin’ in, Gotta stay focused, stop denyin’ it, Find that hope that’s hidin’ in… (Hook 1) Rise up over it all, Don’t look back — that ain’t who you are no more. Give it away, let it go, That struggle don’t own your soul. Rise up… rise up… Ohhh, rise up… (Verse 2) Just when you thought you won, Had it all figured out and done, Past comes back on the run, Blastin’ you with what you’ve done. Stayin’ up late battlin’ within, Fightin’ ghosts from way back then. Like what was I thinkin’? Wonderin’ why I kept sinkin’. Old habits pull like gravity, Tryna rewrite my reality. But every scar I tried to hide Turned into proof that I survived. (Pre-Hook 2) When things start gettin’ too rough, Callin’ it quits ’cause you had enough, Swallow that pride, look to the sky, Tell yourself you’re still alive… (Hook 2) Rise up over it all, Don’t look back — that ain’t who you are no more. Give it away, let it go, That struggle don’t own your soul. Rise up… rise up… Ohhh, rise up… (Bridge – Spoken) I thought my past was the end of me… Every mistake, every fall, every sleepless night… I carried it like a chain, thought I’d never break free… But the pain wasn’t my prison — it was my teacher. And now I see… I survived for a reason. (Final Verse) Now I’m standin’ tall, every shadow behind me, Heart still beatin’ strong, ain’t nobody gonna define me. Lessons turned to armor, pain turned to fire, Every setback lifted me higher and higher. No more drownin’ in bottles or wallowing in doubt, I found my voice, my purpose, my route. The past tried to hold me, but I broke the chain, Risin’ from ashes, reborn from the pain. Now I own my story, every scar, every fight, I’m the author of my future — bringin’ dark to light. (Hook 3) Rise up over it all, Don’t look back — that ain’t who you are no more. Give it away, let it go, That struggle don’t own your soul. Rise up… rise up… Ohhh, rise up… Yeah, rise up!
