Black Street Comeup (النسخة 2)

Intro

Street light flickers red through the steam

Nobody told me how to breathe

Verse 1 – male vocal

Concrete walls, chrome and rust

Fourteen summers in a borrowed suit

Told myself before I turned eighteen

I'd be leaving this block for the dream machine

Bullies used to laugh at my name

Said my future's just another game

But every step through the pouring rain

Was building an empire from the flames

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Can you feel it rising, hear it call?

Something inside of me starting to crawl

Chorus – male and female vocals

We are fire rising from the black street stone

Sparks cut through the night until we're known

Nobody's holding us down on our own

Ashes in the headlights and gold in the bone

Verse 2 – male vocal

Fifteen hours every waking hour

Climbing stairs, pouring sweat for power

Every door I knocked, every gate I broke

Was built off the blood of someone broke

Sweat drips down like rain down walls

People said I was too young to fall

But the only way you learn how to run is

When your back's against an open stun

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Can you feel it rising, hear it call?

Something inside of me starting to crawl

Chorus – male and female vocals

We are fire rising from the black street stone

Sparks cut through the night until we're known

Nobody's holding us down on our own

Ashes in the headlights and gold in the bone

Bridge – male vocal, deep and heavy

They said I'd never leave this place behind

That my name will just get lost with time

But every scar is a star up high

Every failure taught me how to fly

I ain't scared of dying on the floor

Cause dying broke gave birth to more

Every fall was something I could learn

Something my future's written in fear

Outro

Street light flickers red through steam

Now they call me by another name
