Queens Rise

[Verse 1] (Soprano, light and bright) Neon spills on wet concrete, heels click through the quiet street Head held high, no need to hide, every step's a silent beat They said "stay small, don't make a sound" but we turned the volume up Scuffed up boots and battle scars, we're writing our own luck (Alto, warm and steady) Coffee steam curls 'round our words, mapping out the unheard Every "no" we've ever heard's a step to where we deserve We don't wait for some savior's call, we're building our own wall A fortress made of fire and grace, standing tall through every fall (Pre-Chorus) (Baritone, smoky and raw, leading) The whispers in the dark can't drown our song We've got the fire, we've got the dawn (Soprano + Alto joining in) No more shadows, no more doubt We're breaking out, we're breaking out [Chorus] (All three harmonizing, soaring) Queens don't bow, queens don't fall We rise above it all Queens don't beg, queens don't crawl We own our every flaw Queens don't wait, queens don't stall We write our own law Queens don't bow, queens don't fall We rise, we rise, we rise above it all [Bridge] (Baritone, rap, sharp and fiery) Yeah, they tried to box us in, tell us who to be Tried to clip our wings, but we learned to fly free Smoky voice, sharp as a knife, cutting through the lies We're not here to please, we're here to rise Soprano hits the high notes, alto keeps the flow We're a triple threat, ready to blow No more hiding, no more fear We're the queens, we're the ones you hear From the backstreets to the stage, we're taking our place No more silence, no more grace (wait, no—grace with a punch, we're here to crunch) We're the fire, we're the rain We're the queens who break the chain [Final Chorus] (All three, full power, explosive harmonies) Queens don't bow, queens don't fall We rise above it all Queens don't beg, queens don't crawl We own our every flaw Queens don't wait, queens don't stall We write our own law Queens don't bow, queens don't fall We rise, we rise, we rise above it all (Outro, Baritone, soft and resolute) Yeah, we rise (Soprano + Alto, echoing) We rise above it all
