We Rise

I light a match in my mouth

Walk slow through the thunder

Keep my hands out my heart

So it don’t break under (mmm)

You can hear it in my teeth

I’ve been holding back heat

Every step I don’t take Turns the floor into a beat (ahhhh)

I won’t bow, I won’t bend I’m the fire at the end

Say my name, watch it ring I’m the truth in the sting

We rise, we rise (yeah) (oh-oh) (hey)

I keep a storm in my ribs Like a drum with no

owner

You want the calm on my face But I’m built for the

corner (hummmm)

Don’t tell me to be nice When the truth costs twice I’ve

been patient too long Now the room wants a fight (ah)

I won’t bow, I won’t bend

I’m the fire at the end Say my name,

watch it ring

I’m the truth in the sting

We rise, we rise (yeah)

Take the crown off my head

Lay it down on the drum

If you want me to kneel You can watch me become (ooh)

I won’t bow, I won’t bend

I’m the fire at the end

Say my name, watch it ring

I’m the truth in the sting

We rise,

we rise (yeah)

(we rise)

(we rise)
