Blood on My Blueprint (versie 2)

Intro

Five a.m. light on the fire escape

Blood on my blueprint but I don't erase

Verse

Every debt got a date stamped in the corner

Interest is the enemy that I'm fighting for her

Momma's bills are folded up like a Bible page

Folded once more every time the rent's due again

Pre-Chorus

I ain't folding easy, watch me tear it apart

Something about this grind got blood right in my heart

Chorus

Blood on my blueprint but I won't erase it

Turns to ink and teaches how to rise from waste

Every debt is a deadline I already beat

Gold don't sparkle without the fire beneath

Verse

Cousin asked me, why you running if you broke?

I said poverty's just a teacher wearing a cloak

Watched my uncle count coupons like they owed him gold

Now I'm counting mine before it learns to fold

Corner store still owes me change from winter

Still I keep the faith like it's Christmas time

Pre-Chorus

I ain't folding easy, watch me tear it apart

Something about this grind got blood right in my heart

Chorus

Blood on my blueprint but I won't erase it

Turns to ink and teaches how to rise from waste

Every debt is a deadline I already beat

Gold don't sparkle without the fire beneath

Bridge

Tell me why a man gotta die before his dreams come through

I'm proof that struggling's just a word for getting closer to you

Every broke night I'm still alive, still standing tall

That's the interest on my name — I already paid it all

Outro

Blueprint got some blood but it don't lie

This is how the underdog learns to fly
