I Prevail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
R I S E, let's light a match and ignite the streets, screaming
R I O T, but now it's time to give 'em something to say
So dig a little bit, never quit, keep on that hustle
R I S E, let's light a match and ignite the streets
Let's light 'em up, light 'em up
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believe
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
The road is long, but it's the one to take
You gotta put in the work, it's time to make or break
Though the road is long, but it's the one to take
You gotta put in the work, it's time to make or break
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believe
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
Make them believe, write down your name in history, you gotta
Make them believe, one day they'll remember me
You gotta stand up tall give 'em something to say
With you back against the wall be somebody to hate
Make them believe, write down your name in history
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
This is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believe
You gotta fight through the pain, to get to the top
You gotta push through it all, if it's what you want
Screaming this is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
Make them believe, dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
This is a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make 'em believers
The lyrics of "Rise" by I Prevail discuss the struggle that comes with pursuing one's dreams and how important it is to fight through the pain and obstacles for success. The song motivates dreamers to push themselves harder to reach their goals no matter how hard it may seem. The first part of the chorus encourages the dreamers to rise up and ignite passion within them through the struggles that they face. The second part of the chorus instructs the dreamers to continually push themselves and not give up on their goals.
The verses repeat the theme of the chorus, with the lyrics of the first verse telling us that this is specifically a call to dreamers to prove those who do not believe in them wrong. In the second verse the road may be long but it is worth it to put in the hard work for the reward that comes with accomplishing those dreams. The bridge encourages the dreamers to put their name in history and to make others remember them, emphasizing the importance of standing tall, being somebody to hate and to dig a little deeper and acquire belief from skeptics.
In conclusion, "Rise" is a motivational song that empowers dreamers to keep fighting despite the hurdles and roadblocks they face along the way.
