Yeah… yeah

They said stay in your lane

I built a new road

Yeah

Same alarm, same grind, same fight

Mama worked two jobs, no sleep at night

Rent due, lights low, fridge light bright

They told me “wait your turn,” I said “nah”

Came up watching kings like Muhammad Ali spar

Float through pain, still raise the bar

Now I’m dodging doubt like it’s paparazzi cars

From bus rides to late night shifts

Dreams bigger than place I lived

They laughed when I said “I’m him”

Now I’m betting on me, going all in

Yeah I been that low, I ain’t gon’ lie (Yeah)

But I don’t fold, I multiply

Yeah, yeah

I rise anyway, I don’t give a fuck

Came from the bottom, now I’m up

Step by step, yeah day by day

I rise, I rise anyway

I rise anyway, through the pain

Through the dirt, through the rain

Every loss just fuels my flame

I rise, I rise anyway

Now it’s all eyes, spotlight glow

Came a long way from a cracked iPhone

Used to feel stuck, now I outgrow

Every box they tried to put me in, no

They told me “be quiet,” I got louder

Built my voice, built my power

Like Malcolm X with a mic in the hour

Speak truth even when it get sour

Yeah I fell down, got scars on me (Scars on me)

But pressure made a whole star out me (Star out me)

Like diamonds in the dirt, that’s me

Keep going

Don’t stop

Keep going

Don’t stop

Level up

To the top

Yeah, they said “you won’t,” now I did that shit

Came from nothing, now I run this shit

No handouts, I built this quick

Now they tryna ride like they been legit

Fake love? yeah I cut that off

No breaks now, I don’t slow my thoughts

Middle finger to the doubt I fought

I’m the proof that the system got flaws

From the mud to a bigger view

Now I’m living what I used to pursue

They slept on me— hit snooze

Now I wake the whole world when I move

I was one more “no” from giving in

One more night from losing it

But something deep kept saying “go”

So I stood up on my own

I rise anyway, I don’t give a fuck

Came from the bottom, now I’m up

Step by step, yeah day by day

I rise, I rise anyway

I rise anyway, through the pain

Through the dirt, through the rain

Every loss just fuels my flame

I rise, I rise anyway

I rise anyway

I rise anyway

I rise anyway

I rise anyway (Uh-uh)

Ooh-ooh, hmm-mmm

They tried to write my ending

I rewrote the whole story
