Rise From The Ruins (versión 2)

Intro

Rise from the ruins

Feet on the ground

Verse

Concrete cracked under my sneakers

Chain store windows boarded up

City sleeping but I'm still burning

Smoke in my hair like it's still hung up

Momma worked three jobs just to keep us in a place that wasn't ours

Now this is mine, now this is mine

Pre-Chorus

Every block got a name we never knew

Every window broke before they gave up too soon

I ain't chasing nothing I can't see

Something's rising and it's coming for me

Chorus

Rise from the ruins, feet on the ground

Bones in my hands but the fire don't drown

Watch it rise from the ruins, watch it glow

This is where the phoenix used to go

Rise from the ruins, feet on the ground

Every scar got a crown

Verse

Corner store with the sign still swinging

Old man counting change at 3 AM

Somebody's kid threw a rock through the window

Now I'm the one sweeping up what they done

Empty lot turning green in the springtime

Barbed wire rusted, sun on the fence line

Nobody told me that the coming up was gonna hurt so much

But this is where it starts, and I won't touch it too soft

Pre-Chorus

Every block got a name we never knew

Every window broke before they gave up too soon

I ain't chasing nothing I can't see

Something's rising and it's coming for me

Chorus

Rise from the ruins, feet on the ground

Bones in my hands but the fire don't drown

Watch it rise from the ruins, watch it glow

This is where the phoenix used to go

Rise from the ruins, feet on the ground

Every scar got a crown

Bridge

Momma's voice still calling out at night

Telling me I was built for the light

I keep her name in my mouth like a prayer

I'm not scared of the fire anymore

This is mine now, this is mine now

Rise from the ruins

Outro

Rise from the ruins, feet on the ground

Watch it rise from the ruins, watch it glow
