[Verse 1] They tried to carve my name in stone Tell me who I am, where I belong Hands like walls, words like chains Every step forward met with pain [Pre-Chorus] But fire learns to breathe in the dark And I was burning from the start [Chorus] Still I rise, through the smoke and fear Hear my voice—I'm standing here You can bend me, scar my skin But I won’t bow, I won’t give in Still I rise, feel the ground shake This is my crown, these are my stakes I was born from the fight Still I rise [Verse 2] I’ve tasted doubt, I’ve worn the shame Carried ghosts that knew my name But every fall taught me how To hit the ground and break it now [Pre-Chorus] I’m not the silence you designed I’m the storm you left behind [Chorus] Still I rise, through the smoke and fear Hear my voice—I'm standing here You can bend me, scar my skin But I won’t bow, I won’t give in Still I rise, feel the ground shake This is my crown, these are my stakes I was born from the fight Still I rise [Bridge] (breakdown → build) Strip me down to bone and breath I’ll outlive every threat From the ashes of your doubt Watch me now—watch me now [Final Chorus] (bigger, layered vocals) Still I rise, higher than before Kicked down doors, broke the floor I am more than what you see I am war. I am free. Still I rise—say my name I’m the spark you couldn’t tame From the dark into the light Still I rise [Outro] Still I rise… Unbroken. Alive
