Bounce Back

Absolutely — I’d add a short, repeatable chant right before every hook so it feels more like a crowd moment and gives the hook a stronger buildup.

INTRO

Yeah...
Uh...
COUGH! COUGH!
Ayy, turn me up.
They wished down on me...
So I got one thing to say—

CHANT — BEFORE HOOK 1

WHO WISHED? — They did!
WHO FELL? — Not me!
WHO'S UP? — We up!
WHO'S MAD? — Fuck 'em!
Say it again—
WHO'S UP? — WE UP!
WHO'S UP? — WE UP!

HOOK

They wished down on me, I came back stronger,
They prayed I'd fold, I stayed here longer,
Talk behind my back, but they never come closer,
Now I'm ten toes down with the weight on my shoulders.
They wished down on me, I said, “Fuck that,”
Tried to count me out, I bounced right back.
They wanted me broke, they wanted me gone,
Now every damn night, they hear my song.

VERSE 1

I remember them days when they laughed at the dream,
Now they see the same dream sitting right on the screen.
Had nothing but hunger and fire in my chest,
Everybody had advice, nobody had a check.
I ain't asking for love, I ain't begging respect,
If you doubted me then, don't be calling me next.
Fake handshakes, fake smiles, fake love in the room,
I could feel that shit coming before it even bloomed.

Spark that up—COUGH! COUGH!
Clear my head, then I'm back on the mission.
They were hoping I'd quit, now I'm changing the position.
Every loss taught me something, every scar left proof,
Every time they said “no,” I went harder in the booth.
Now the same motherfuckers wanna act like they knew,
Nah, keep that same energy you had when I was through.

CHANT — BEFORE HOOK 2

SAY MY NAME! — LOUDER!
COUNT ME OUT! — NEVER!
BACK AGAIN! — BETTER!
DOWN BAD? — NEVER!
One more time—
WHO'S UP? — WE UP!
WHO'S UP? — WE UP!

HOOK

They wished down on me, I came back stronger,
They prayed I'd fold, I stayed here longer,
Talk behind my back, but they never come closer,
Now I'm ten toes down with the weight on my shoulders.
They wished down on me, I said, “Fuck that,”
Tried to count me out, I bounced right back.
They wanted me broke, they wanted me gone,
Now every damn night, they hear my song.

VERSE 2

I don't need a crowd just to know what I'm worth,
Had to build my name while they dragged through the dirt.
They threw little shots, I just turned 'em to fuel,
I learned real quick that resentment ain't cool.
So I keep my eyes forward, my circle on lock,
No time for a hater trying to study my clock.
You can wish all you want, you can pray I don't shine,
But you can't stop what's already mine.

COUGH! COUGH!
Yeah, I'm still breathing.
Still here.
Still working.
Still eating.
Still dreaming.
Still proving every word they said wrong.

They wanted a downfall, I gave 'em a comeback,
Wanted me silent, I put my whole pain on tracks.
Every scar got a story, every bar got a reason,
I survived every storm, now I'm changing the season.

CHANT — BEFORE HOOK 3

DOWN? — NO!
BROKE? — NO!
QUIT? — NO!
FOLD? — NO!
WHAT WE DO? — LEVEL UP!
WHAT WE DO? — LEVEL UP!
WHAT WE DO? — LEVEL UP!

HOOK

They wished down on me, I came back stronger,
They prayed I'd fold, I stayed here longer,
Talk behind my back, but they never come closer,
Now I'm ten toes down with the weight on my shoulders.
They wished down on me, I said, “Fuck that,”
Tried to count me out, I bounced right back.
They wanted me broke, they wanted me gone,
Now every damn night, they hear my song.

BRIDGE

Let 'em talk.
Let 'em stare.
Let 'em whisper everywhere.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I built this shit from thin air.

COUGH! COUGH!
Still standing.
Still breathing.
Still demanding everything I said I'd get.

FINAL CHANT

THEY WISHED— DOWN!
I CAME— UP!
THEY SAID— STOP!
I SAID— WHAT?!
THEY WISHED— DOWN!
I CAME— UP!
THEY WISHED— DOWN!
I CAME— UP!

FINAL HOOK

They wished down on me, I came back stronger,
They prayed I'd fold, I stayed here longer,
Talk behind my back, but they never come closer,
Now I'm ten toes down with the weight on my shoulders.
They wished down on me, I said, “Fuck that,”
Tried to count me out, I bounced right back.
They wanted me broke, they wanted me gone,
Now every damn night, they hear my song.

OUTRO

They wished down on me...
I came back up.
They counted me out...
I counted my blessings.
COUGH! COUGH!
Still here.
Still standing.
Fuck anybody who thought I wouldn't make it.
