Skyscrapers Fall at Sunset（バージョン2）

Verse 1

Boardroom clock at quarter to five

Bought this building, they still don't know why

Corner office window paints the whole town gold

Every dollar folded up and doubled back on itself like a scroll

Nineteen months since the first brick came down

Landlord's wife still crying over what I found

Twelve hundred square feet turned into a hundred thousand in one year

That's what happens when you don't let the city fear you, I hear it clearly

Pre-Chorus

Tell me one more reason why you're waiting on me

Every day is rent money bleeding from my knee

No excuses, no apologies, just the check and the deed

I'm not asking permission, I'm moving the whole machine

Chorus

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stay lit till dawn

Every haters mouth is just a free speech to borrow

Forty-two years old and still on the first level of the throne

This the season that they said I'd never know

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stand tall before dawn

Verse 2

Twenty-three years in this concrete coffin

Every dollar I spent was a decision not an option

Told my pops one check away from losing it all

Now I'm calling him back to move us into the mall

Came up with nothing but a hunger that don't sleep

Spent three summers folding sweaters, saved every single keep

Built a team around me before I had a title name

Said if the boss don't bleed then nobody bleeds the same

Watched the whole block get foreclosed, watched the bank walk out

Now they're walking through the lobby with a mouth shut out loud

No trophy needed for this kind of success

Just my own signature on every single check I press

Pre-Chorus

Tell me one more reason why you're waiting on me

Every day is rent money bleeding from my knee

No excuses, no apologies, just the check and the deed

I'm not asking permission, I'm moving the whole machine

Chorus

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stay lit till dawn

Every haters mouth is just a free speech to borrow

Forty-two years old and still on the first level of the throne

This the season that they said I'd never know

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stand tall before dawn

Bridge

I'm not angry, I'm just glad it didn't kill me

Every tear turned into something that I built a dynasty out of

They say timing is everything, I say the whole floor shook

This ain't about the haters, this is about what I knew

Chorus

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stay lit till dawn

Every haters mouth is just a free speech to borrow

Forty-two years old and still on the first level of the throne

This the season that they said I'd never know

Skyscrapers fall at sunset, but mine stand tall before dawn
