(ahhh) No crown, no mercy,

still I rise

I came from cracked floors,

counted faith by the crumb Hands stayed clean but the hunger made

me numb Mama said speak truth,

let the false ones choke So I carved every bar from a

throat full of smoke She walks in silk with a blade in

her tone Says if you want love,

first stand on your own Look me in the eye,

do not flinch I know what the hard years meant If you

want fire, bring truth

I will sing the wound out of you

Raw love, raw truth,

no hiding

We burn clean when the night gets violent

Hold my name like a vow in your teeth If the world

swings first, stand with me

Raw love, raw truth,

no hiding Two scarred hearts still rising

I am not soft just because I sing Got a gold heart

with a fighter's sting I seen cheap smiles turn cold for a

chain Now I count real ones by who stays in rain

You bring the scars,

I bring the key

Meet me where the broken learn to breathe

He says, I built my name where the pavement split She says,

I turn pain into candlewick He says,

If they test us,

we do not fold She says,

Keep your pride, but protect your soul Both say,

We came up rough,

still chose grace

No fear left that can wear our face

Dame, dame (ah!)

Quédate, quédate

Take the armor off,

I can see you shaking I got bruises too,

but I am not breaking

Say my name when the road gets mean

I will meet you there,

steady and clean No crown on us,

still

we reign

Raw love, raw truth,

no hiding

We burn clean when the night gets violent

Hold my name like a vow in your teeth If the

world swings first, stand with me

Raw love, raw truth,

no hiding

Two scarred hearts still rising

Still rising, still rising Still rising

You

and me
