Concrete Halo 5

Verse

Warehouse light flickers, four a.m. still on the pulse

Graffiti bleeding down from walls that won't fall soon

Corner store glow through the chain-link fence

Boys with hood up, keeping watch over what we done

Six months ago I was running off the block

Every dollar folded small in my palm like a clock

Now the DJ booth stacked taller than the fire door

Everyone who doubted us is standing at the floor

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising through the concrete sky

We built this out of nothing, we don't ask why

Chorus

Rising up where the towers meet the skyline

Every name that doubted, we're gonna sign it fine

Concrete halo glowing over everything we own

Nobody told us this was possible so we made our own

Verse 2

Chain-link rattling in the wind like a thousand tiny bells

Bassline shaking loose every secret that was hidden still

Sirens fade out, and our anthem takes the block

Every scar is a city block we already clocked

Old man leaning on his walker by the exit gate

Watched me cross the street with my head held high and great

Smiled today like he knew it all along

This is what resistance looks like when it's wearing gold

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising through the concrete sky

We built this out of nothing, we don't ask why

Chorus

Rising up where the towers meet the skyline

Every name that doubted, we're gonna sign it fine

Concrete halo glowing over everything we own

Nobody told us this was possible so we made our own

Bridge

Every doubt was a seed we buried deep in the floor

Now the whole block's standing on something they could never know

Hands up high, gold light bleeding into blue

This is what hope looks like when it's built by me and you

Chorus

Rising up where the towers meet the skyline

Every name that doubted, we're gonna sign it fine

Concrete halo glowing over everything we own

Nobody told us this was possible so we made our own
