(I keep on) Rising Up Lyrics

I keep on rising up
well I'll keep on rising up
Every day I'm rising up

Do you want to get hurt
Need to get ditched
Do you need to get let down?

Need someone to boot you
Need to dropped
Just to fool your true self out?

I keep on rising up
well I'll keep on rising up
Every day I'm rising up

You're like
trying to sleep off
a cocaine binge
In the weekday morning

Dead-chested like a freight train
But you're so tired
And the dread it looms aheadâ€¨

I threw my weight into the curves you threw at me
ripped the rules up said "I love you" on day three

I keep on rising up
well I\'ll keep on rising up
Every day I'm rising up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
