Still I Rise

Intro

Mmm… yeah

It’s been a long road,

But I thank God I never folded.

Two little queens look up to me…

So I gotta keep my crown golden. 👑

Verse

Woke up this morning, strength in my bones,

I’ve been through storms, but I found my home.

Two daughters watching how I move,

So every scar is living proof.

They see a woman who still believes,

Even when life tried to break her peace.

I kept my faith, didn’t lose my song,

God’s been with me all along.

Pre-chorus

Yeah, they talk, yeah, they whisper my name,

Try to dim my light, but I don’t play that game.

Jealous hearts, they can’t block my shine,

I pray for them all, but I’m doin’ just fine.

Chorus

Still I rise, through the fire and rain,

Still I smile, even carryin’ pain.

God’s got me, yeah, He walks beside me,

Every tear just reminds me —

I’m chosen, not broken,

My love unspoken moves mountains, yeah.

Still I rise, I rise, I rise…

Ohh, with God on my side.

Verse

They don’t know what I been through,

They just see the glow, not the truth.

They see the smile, not the nights I cried,

But that’s the beauty of God inside.

My daughters see a fighter, not a fool,

A woman of grace, unshakable, true.

No hate gon’ change what’s divine,

I walk in peace, His light is mine.

Bridge

(Ohhh… yeah)

They tried to break me, but I bend like trees,

Rooted in faith, not what they see.

I’m covered, protected, redeemed,

A mother, a warrior, a queen. 👑

Yeah, yeah, I rise… can’t stop my vibe…

Prayin’ for the ones who wish me dry…

Chorus

Still I rise, through the fire and rain,

Still I smile, even carryin’ pain.

God’s got me, yeah, He walks beside me,

Every tear just reminds me

I’m chosen, not broken,

My faith outspoken, yeah.

Still I rise, I rise, I rise,

With my babies and God by my side.

Ooooh, I rise… (I rise, I rise…)

Through every test, I survived.

And when the world gets dark,

I still shine His light.

Yeah, I rise… I rise…

God’s got me — for life. 🙏🏽✨
