Still I Rise by Starz Billionz
Title: “Still I Rise (Afro Life Story)” Intro (soft drums, low hum) Yeah… Mm mm… most times one night we cried alone For the days nobody see our pain But we still dey stand… Verse 1 I’ve been walking on broken roads, no shoes on my feet Mama said “be strong,” but strength no come easy Life show me flames, still I dance in the heat Some days I smile, some nights I can’t sleep I trusted words, but promises fall People say “I got you,” then answer no call I’ve seen the high, I’ve tasted the low From bright sunny days to the coldest soul Money come slow, problems come fast I carry my future, but chains from the past I pray to God when the world turn dark Asking for light, even just a spark Pre-Chorus If you see my face, you no know my fight I laugh in the day, cry deep in the night But I hold my faith, I no let go ‘Cause something inside me say “still go” Chorus Still I rise, through the pain and the fall Through the tears that nobody saw Life push me down, but I stand tall I’m still here, I no give up at all Still I rise, even when hope feel far I carry my scars like shining stars From broken dreams to a brand new start I’m still alive, I got a fighting heart Verse 2 Love come sweet, then love turn cold Hearts get heavy, stories untold I gave my trust, I gave my soul Some people played me, left me broke But I learned that life no be straight line Sometimes you lose just to realign Every delay, every closed door Prepare me for something more I see my people hustling every day Chasing tomorrow, surviving today We dream big dreams in a small room Still believe blessing go come soon Pre-Chorus 2 When the world say “stop,” I say “not yet” I turn my pain into sweat If nobody clap, I clap for me ‘Cause self-belief na the real key Chorus Still I rise, through the pain and the fall Through the tears that nobody saw Life push me down, but I stand tall I’m still here, I no give up at all Still I rise, even when hope feel far I carry my scars like shining stars From broken dreams to a brand new start I’m still alive, I got a fighting heart Bridge (Afro soul, emotional) I talk to God when I’m all alone “Please guide me home” I no want riches, just peace of mind And love that’s real, not hard to find If tomorrow come, I’ll be ready Even if my legs dey shake already I no be perfect, but I’m true This my story, this na me and you Break (chant style) Ooooh… We survive We survive Ooooh… We still dey here Final Chorus (strong, uplifting) Still I rise, hear my voice now loud From the dust, from the crowd I was lost, but now I’m found Feet on ground, head in the clouds Still I rise, this my testimony Pain no finish me, it only mold me From dark nights to the morning light I’m still standing, still alive Outro Yeah… For anyone wey dey struggle quietly You’re not alone Your story still dey write Still rise… 🌍🎶
