Streetlight Gold (النسخة 2)

Verse

Sixth light on the block don't change with the hour

Same gold humming over the rooftops and power lines

I used to chase it like a girl, now I just walk through it

Let the amber settle before I decide what's true

Corner store bulb flickers soft as a heartbeat

Every block got its own frequency in the street

Neon sign still blinking but it's softer than fire

This ain't money glowing, this is peace, this is higher

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light stays on when I'm done with the grind

Is it mercy or just the meter that's aligned

Chorus

Streetlight gold, catching every scar I ever made

Turns my shadow into something soft and unafraid

I ain't chasing fortune now, I'm chasing what this feels like

Gold in the darkness keeps me honest, keeps me alive

Verse

City lights up, turns itself into a canvas

Every flicker's got a story nobody can erase it

Somebody's laughing under that one on Main Street

Same light that lit my doubt at four a.m.

Now I'm walking slower than I used to run from this feeling

I was scared the dark would swallow everything I've been doing

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light stays on when I'm done with the grind

Is it mercy or just the meter that's aligned

Chorus

Streetlight gold, catching every scar I ever made

Turns my shadow into something soft and unafraid

I ain't chasing fortune now, I'm chasing what this feels like

Gold in the darkness keeps me honest, keeps me alive

Bridge

Maybe light don't just mean daylight

Maybe it's mercy wearing a bulb for a face

Some men turn away from gold they never get to keep

I'm holding onto it till my heart stops moving cheap

Chorus

Streetlight gold, catching every scar I ever made

Turns my shadow into something soft and unafraid

I ain't chasing fortune now, I'm chasing what this feels like

Gold in the darkness keeps me honest, keeps me alive
