@tok_addie: Rise slow 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 mine 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 They wanted fire I gave them roots They wanted shortcuts 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 mine 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 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 I belong I belong I belong
