[Jamaican Patois] Still Rising

Lyrics

[Intro] (Soft – Spoken / Sung)  
Mi walk through di silence,  
Hear mi name inna di night,  
Every scar tell a story,  
Every fall leave a bite.

[Verse 1]  
Dem seh time woulda erase me,  
Dreams fade through di years,  
But mi carry di burden  
Of mi hopes and mi fears.

Stand firm when di ground shake,  
When di answers dem thin,  
Still mi breathe through di doubt,  
And mi rise up again.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Every night mi a break,  
Learn fi withstand,  
Every loss teach a lesson,  
Every step was a plan.

[Chorus] (Lift – Melodic)  
Mi still rising,  
Through di fire and di rain,  
Still rising,  
Though di nights stay di same.  
Mi bend, but nah shatter,  
Mi fall, yet remain,  
Mi still rising,  
Calling out mi own name.

[Verse 2]  
Watch doors a close slow,  
Hear di echo of "no,"  
But faith keep whispering,  
"More room fi grow."

Turn wounds into wisdom,  
Turn mi breath into prayer,  
Wah mi carry inside mi,  
Nobody else can repair.

[Pre-Chorus 2]  
If di path seem too heavy,  
If di light feel too far,  
Remember strength lie  
In di truth of who you are.

[Chorus] (Full – Stronger)  
Mi still rising,  
Through di fire and di rain,  
Still rising,  
Though di nights stay di same.  
Mi bend, but nah shatter,  
Mi fall, yet remain,  
Mi still rising,  
Calling out mi own name.

[Bridge] (Spoken / Half-Sung – Powerful)  
Dis nah di end,  
Dis a evidence,  
Dat mi survive wah was meant  
Fi silence mi voice.

Mi nah defined  
By wah mi lost,  
But by di courage  
It took fi rejoice.

[Final Chorus] (Big / Choir Feel)  
Wi still rising,  
Through di fire and di rain,  
Still rising,  
Every scar a wi flame.  
Wi bend, but nah shatter,  
Wi fall, yet remain,  
Wi still rising,  
Calling out wi own names.

[Outro] (Soft – Spoken)  
If yuh hear dis,  
Let it remind yuh,  
Yuh still here,  
And dat mean everything.
