Iron Crown Street (version 2)

Verse 1

Concrete cold beneath my palms tonight

Every window watching what we ignite

Iron crown upon a dirty street

Where the broken kings and the hopeless meet

I was built from nothing on this very ground

Learned to survive where the shadows drown

The fire in my chest is not just the flame

It's every soul that came up through the same

We ain't chasing sunshine, we chase what's real

Every scar here tells a story we can feel

Pre-Chorus

So how do you rise when the whole block turned cold?

How do you shine on iron streets grown old?

Chorus

I'm built from the crown where the strong are crowned

Rising off Iron Crown Street, I wear no crown

Nothing was given, every step paid in blood

Every victory here's written in dust and mud

We are the flame still burning after all hell let go

Wear our scars like armor as we rise through the smoke

Verse 2

Broken glass turned to a mirror, now we stare

Every step back was just fuel for this stair

Some said I'd never leave the block before it's old

Now every rooftop is my stage and gold

The crown ain't gold, it's iron, cold as stone

I'm not asking forgiveness, I'm owning what I own

Pre-Chorus

So how do you rise when the whole block turned cold?

How do you shine on iron streets grown old?

Chorus

I'm built from the crown where the strong are crowned

Rising off Iron Crown Street, I wear no crown

Nothing was given, every step paid in blood

Every victory here's written in dust and mud

We are the flame still burning after all hell let go

Wear our scars like armor as we rise through the smoke
