Walls Don't Hold My Name (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete streets hold my name in the dust

Every scar's a proof that I trust

Hands up like they're pulling me through

I made this concrete learn to move

Skyscrapers tall but I built higher

Every fear got a door I didn't fire

Pigeons flew when the sirens lit the night

They said it's impossible, I said it's light

Pre-Chorus

Walls don't hold my name, walls just know my height

Every brick was counting down the fight

Chorus

I built a sky where they said I wouldn't climb

Hands up like this is mine and mine alone

Concrete cracked but I stood for more

Walls don't hold my name, not when I'm at the door

Verse

Neon bleeding on the sewer line

Every shadow's just another sign

Rooftops blur into a city wide

I made the skyline learn to step outside

Steel bars hummed with all they kept

Now they're singing where the pigeons leap

Streetlights blinked in time with my feet

They said I'd never leave this beat

Pre-Chorus

Walls don't hold my name, walls just know my height

Every brick was counting down the fight

Chorus

I built a sky where they said I wouldn't climb

Hands up like this is mine and mine alone

Concrete cracked but I stood for more

Walls don't hold my name, not when I'm at the door

Bridge

It ain't gold or cash, it's every heartbeat

Every wall that shook, every fear I beat

They said I'm small, I turned that noise to sound

This is mine now, this is where I crown

Chorus

I built a sky where they said I wouldn't climb

Hands up like this is mine and mine alone

Concrete cracked but I stood for more

Walls don't hold my name, not when I'm at the door
