[Verse 1]
I don't need a reason to be strong, take a look into my life
Hurting through the years, hurricane, wars never to subside
If there's a god, only question that I gotta ask is why
Cause I'll be damned, I get beaten, tossed right over to the side
[Chorus]
Behind my tears holds my pride
Stands my soul and if I die
They won't be sorry if you won't ignite it
I am among the living, I was before me
I'm awake, I'm awake
I still rise when I fall, in my right, in my wrongs
I'm awake
[Verse 2]
Who you call a villain? I was birthed from the river of the night
And no amount of creatures in this world is ever gonna bring you sight
If you don't recognise there's no difference from the heart and a chance
Then you're forever blinded by the actions of the past
[Chorus]
Behind my tears holds my pride
Stands my soul and if I die
They won't be sorry if you won't ignite it
I am among the living, I was before me
I'm awake, I'm awake
I still rise when I fall, in my right, in my wrongs
I'm awake
[Bridge]
They say Martin had a dream, but I woke up in a nightmare
Staring down a barrell of a hothead
If I flinch, I die here, how I even got here
Deja vu and I ain't put my finger on the plier
They talking religion, but I see no Christian
Remember the legends, I feel like [?]
Never thought I'd be fighting for my life
If I'mma go, I'm lighting a fire
[Chorus]
I'm awake, I'm awake
I still rise when I fall, in my right, in my wrongs
I'm awake
