Static on the Avenue (versione 2)

Verse 1

Concrete cracked where the streetlights bend

Radio static that don't end

Six a.m. the block still hums

My sneakers scuff against the grime that's become

Two years pushing crates in the rain

Nobody checked my name but nobody cared about gain

I kept the receipt from the first sale

Folded it in to hold and nail

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm counting money not just time

Every gray block turning into mine

The mirror shows a different face

Something lit behind this frozen pace

Chorus

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

I'm rising through the noise, climbing up to something new

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

Every little spark ignites and I'm still standing here with you

Verse 2

Rooftop skyline blurring into blue

City wakes while my heartbeat's brand new

Corner store owner now addresses me

Calls my name like it always was meant to be

I deliver orders not just pallets

Runners ask where the hustle goes, I guess

Some days rain still falls on empty seats

Today the cash register rings a different beat

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm counting money not just time

Every gray block turning into mine

The mirror shows a different face

Something lit behind this frozen pace

Chorus

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

I'm rising through the noise, climbing up to something new

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

Every little spark ignites and I'm still standing here with you

Bridge

Maybe struggle was just the signal tuning in

The silence before the whole thing began

Nobody told me this is how it would land

But my feet remember every inch of sand

Hold the noise close like a ember lit by rain

It's the only proof that this was never vain

Chorus

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

I'm rising through the noise, climbing up to something new

Static on the avenue, static on the avenue

Every little spark ignites and I'm still standing here with you
