Fighting for Forever

Verse

Corner store window dripping amber light

Empty pockets but a fire in my eyes

Fourteen summers spent watching older kids win

I'm the new one now and I'm ready to begin

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling us through the heat?

Something deep is rising from beneath our feet

Chorus

We don't have nothing but we own this block

Every fist up, every heart on lock

No goldmine here just our own two hands

This is the rebellion of a generation standing tall

Verse 2

Chain link fence rattles with the midnight breeze

Someone's mom left dinner by the television light

I'm not scared of anything but I'm scared of losing time

Before I turn my twenty, before this all gets old

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling us through the heat?

Something deep is rising from beneath our feet

Chorus

We don't have nothing but we own this block

Every fist up, every heart on lock

No goldmine here just our own two hands

This is the rebellion of a generation standing tall

Bridge

Someday I'll be counting rooms and ceilings too

But tonight the ceiling's the sky turning blue

Every window cracked open to the sound

The whole city breathing one long, endless round

Chorus

We don't have nothing but we own this block

Every fist up, every heart on lock

No goldmine here just our own two hands

This is the rebellion of a generation standing tall
