No one saw the nights I held my ground No one heard me when I made no sound I didn't need the light to find my way I just kept moving through the dark each day
Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd Just real, just deep, just mind to keep
I rise slow, but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more I rise slow, but I rise strong Took the time it took, now I belong
Rise slow Rise slow Rise slow I belong
They want it fast, I gave them the roots They want a shortcut, I gave them truth I fell more times than I care to say But every fall just showed me where to stay
Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd Just real, just deep, just mind to keep
I rise slow, but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more I rise slow, but I rise strong Took the time it took, now I belong
Rise slow Rise slow Rise slow I belong
The ones who rise fast fall the same way The ones who rise slow are built to stay
I rise slow, but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more I rise slow, but I rise strong Took the time it took, took, took, took I belong I belong I belong I belong
