Rise From The Street (النسخة 2)

Verse

Sixteen and hungry at the alleyway light

Corner store windows turned into gold tonight

Every kid on this block already know my name

Running up hills while the low end came crashing down like rain

My momma said don't let fear decide your fate

I kept every dollar I ever spent at the gate

No college plan, no safety net to fall back on

Just the engine of the city and the beat in my chest, alone

Pre-Chorus

So how do we rise when the system never called our name?

How do we build when they built this all outta shame?

Chorus

We rising from the street where no one knew our name

Built a whole city on the echo of the flame

Every scar turned gold, every doubt turned stone

This ain't legacy, it's just us coming home

Verse 2

Ten years later I'm standing on the rooftop of my own dream

Every kid in that alleyway now got keys to their own team

Same corners we ran through for food and shelter now host the show

Soldier made by hunger and a fire nobody let go

The system still don't recognize us, don't rewrite our names

But I got a thousand kids from every block repeating my refrains

They built a whole city out of broken windows, out of shame

I built it out of sweat and gold — ain't no shame in that name

Pre-Chorus

So how do we rise when the system never called our name?

How do we build when they built this all outta shame?

Chorus

We rising from the street where no one knew our name

Built a whole city on the echo of the flame

Every scar turned gold, every doubt turned stone

This ain't legacy, it's just us coming home

Bridge

I'll never be the king they chose, never get the crown

But I built a kingdom out of every corner in this town

Maybe some day the ones who doubted me will see my name etched in bronze

Not as a legend — as an ordinary man who rose

Chorus

We rising from the street where no one knew our name

Built a whole city on the echo of the flame

Every scar turned gold, every doubt turned stone

This ain't legacy, it's just us coming home
