Lyrics
Description
Intro (field sounds: rain on tin, distant market call, generator hum)
(Rain taps) Rain on the roof, steady like my pace, (eh-eh)
Market man selling corn, rooster marking daybreak, (na so)
Generator hum, kerosene lamp — I set my place, (shh)
This is for every student holding on in the grey.
Verse 1
Wake up before light, rooster calls me to the day, (one-two)
Empty belly, heavy books — I chase that flame away, (na so)
No light, no fuel — still I read by kerosene, (read)
Notes on torn pages, dreams stitched in between. (between)
Mama says, “My child go be great,” she kneels and prays, (amen)
Landlord at the door, counting days and raising ways, (eh)
Rain on the roof like a drum, steady on the room, (tap-tap)
I study under lamp, whisper hope into the gloom.
Pre-Chorus
Tears in my pillow, pain in my chest I hide, (hide)
But I tell my tired heart, “I must be the best,” I ride. (ride)
Chorus (Powerful & Catchy)
I’m struggling with life, but I won’t break, (I won’t break)
Na hope be my food, na faith be my stake, (na faith)
Even when e hard, I still stand tall, (still stand tall)
I rise from the dust, I answer the call. (answer the call)
No matter the storm, I won’t fall down, (no I won’t)
From pain to the crown — I’m wearing my crown. (wear it now)
(Ad-lib call-and-response: I rise! — I rise! / Na so! — Na so!)
Verse 2
School fees like clouds hang heavy on my head, (heavy)
Lecture notes and exam fear sitting on my bed, (on my bed)
Friends dey give up, some choose hustle on the street, (they go)
But I hold my pen firmer, steady on my beat. (steady)
Evening class, rain applause on the roof above, (tap)
Generator coughs alive, lamp burning like my love, (love)
Kerosene glow, I hustle for my name, I keep the fight, (keep it)
Counting small wins in the dark; tomorrow needs my light.
Bridge (Rain motif + resolve)
Rain on the roof, steady like my pace, (steady)
Each drop a little drum, marking out my race. (race)
If tomorrow no show me face, I go run this race, (I go run)
My story no end for pain and strife — I keep my faith. (faith)
Chorus (Repeat)
I’m struggling with life, but I won’t break, (I won’t break)
Na hope be my food, na faith be my stake, (na faith)
Even when e hard, I still stand tall, (I still stand tall)
I rise from the dust, I answer the call. (answer the call)
No matter the storm, I won’t fall down, (no I won’t)
From pain to the crown — I’m wearing my crown. (wear it now)
(Ad-libs: Eh-eh! Na so! I rise! — call and I respond)
Verse 3 (Specific detail, cinematic)
Lecture hall fan spinning slow, chalk on the board, (chalk)
My name on a small list — hope waiting to be scored, (score)
Evening market outside, traders shout and laugh, (sell)
I memorize formulas like prayers on my path. (pray)
Library steps, rain prints on my worn-out shoes, (shoes)
I borrow time and courage from the things I choose, (choose)
Every small victory, every borrowed dime, (dime)
Builds a bridge from that classroom floor to better times.
Final Chorus (Escalation)
I
