Lightning In My Lungs

Light me up — I'm alive!
Hands up high — we rise!
From the smoke to the sky
Feel the thunder in our lives!
Crowd (repeat, short):
We rise! We rise!
(Clap—clap) We rise!
(Verse 1 – Male Rap, laid—back bounce, cinematic)
I wore the night like a jacket that never would fit
Made peace with the pain till the pain finally quit
Turned loss into rhythm, regret into grit
Now the bassline talk every truth I admit
Streetlights blink, that's a pulse in my chest
If the past want smoke, let it test what's left
I don't chase crowns, I protect my breath
Real ones know — peace hit different than flex
(Pre—Hook – Call & Response)
Male: Don't blink—
Crowd: We rise!
Male: Heart sync—
Crowd: We rise!
(Hook – Female Lead + Male Ad—libs)
Female:
Light me up — I'm alive!
Hands up high — we rise!
From the smoke to the sky
Feel the thunder in our lives!
Male (ad—libs):
(Yeah—right now keep it there don't stop)
(Bridge – Drop to Claps + Choir, then slam back)
Female (airy, emotional):
Don't fade don't fade
Male (spoken):
If fear's a wave, we surf the break
Female (lift):
Don't fade don't fade
Band: HARD RE—DROP (full drums + 808 slide)
(Verse 2 – Male Rap, tighter flow, more energy)
I took the long road, learned how to glide
Taught my doubts how to step to the side
If love's a fire, I'm breathing it right
Halo of smoke, but the core still bright
Every "no" turned fuel for the run
Every tear wrote maps to the sun
If the dark's got a name, I'm the one
Who spells it out loud till it comes undone
(Final Hook – Both Voices, Stadium Lift)
Both:
Light me up — I'm alive!
Hands up high — we rise!
From the smoke to the sky
Feel the thunder in our lives!
Female (ad—lib top line):
Ooo—oo, we rise tonight—
Crowd: We rise! We rise!
Band: Final hit — cutoff, choir tail rings
