[Chorus: Stephanie Palmer]
Night will fall, will you stand tall?
Night will call, will you rise or will you fall?
Night will call, will you rise above it all?
[Verse 1: Deflect]
I will not be
Shaken by what used to shake me
Faked out by the fakers when they re-
Treat back to their reclusive elusiver pleasures with Lucifer juicin' on sedatives
Done with pretendin', intendin' to be someone I ain't
Done tryna fit in to crowds of empty people just smokin' they problems away
This world has got the nerve to claim they got it on their own
While they marriages end and they poppin' they pills and they drink until they gone
Dont tell me i don't know what its like to be a dirty sinner
Dont tell me i ain't got the roughed up past like a toughed up winter
Also, dont tell me i don't know what its like to be a beginner
Discovering who i am every day, square one, goin' until i reach the finish
I got scars on every side of me but i won't let them define me
But i look back at 'em, go n write tracks bout 'em
Thats what you be hearin' right now
Listen up loud
This is my past, revisit my journey
Through my darkest hours
Sweet and sour
Im showin' you earnestly
I'm talkin' bout my nightfall
[Chorus: Stephanie Palmer]
Will you rise or will you fall?
I will rise above it all
[Verse 2: Deflect]
Dont box me up
Or give me your own expectations
Of everything you think i'm made for
Handin' me handouts and tellin' me i'm made for liquor, partyin' until lights out
I don't even know who i am yet but i know what i don't wanna become
Because i've been there already, you claim i'm an innocent PK then you straight up dumb
I'm ready to fight for my life now against your manipulative ruses
Like the p**nographer sayin' his work don't leave women abused with they bruises
People waitin' for somethin' fulfilling, that was me on d**h row
I was actin' a fool, bein' too cool for school with two girlfriends at the same time just three years ago
I've been there, i've done that
Like Logic man, I don't want it back
Been to both extremes like white and black
I know some of y'all will always just give me flak
Don't believe me? That's fine, i don't give a crap
Some of y'all will always think i'm just talkin' smack
You can live for stacks on stacks, racks on racks
But when your life over, will you want it back?
Chorus (Stephanie Palmer)
Night will fall, will you stand tall?
Night will call, will you rise or will you fall?
Will you fall?
