Burning from the Street

Verse

Concrete cracked beneath my feet

Smoke machine drowning the street

Sixteen years of nothing said

Every kid left standing here

Holding up a flickering wire

Nobody taught us how to glow on schedule

Just told us learn or drown in diesel

So I count the nights and I count the debt

Watching everything we used to keep

Dismantle every promise, no regret

Burning from the street, burning from the block

This is where they made me into a rock

Nothing left to save, nothing left to fear

Pre-Chorus

Is this what it means to grow in smoke?

Every scar turns into a glow that shows

Chorus

BURNING FROM THE STREET!

Flaming off the corners where I used to sleep!

No more waiting on tomorrow — tonight is all we need!

Hands up if you're tired of running from the light

Let it burn like gasoline through steel

I don't know what the future will reveal

Burning from the street, burning from the block

This is where they made me into a rock

Verse

Now I stand with my own two hands

No more asking for permission or plans

Every dollar borrowed was a lie we built on sand

But something inside us started to stand

I see the ghosts still walking through the hallways

The ones who never made it out at all

So we take what they left behind and let it light the sky

Not because we're brave but just to ask them why

No more asking if this is enough — we're the answer now

Rising up from something that was broken down

Burning from the street, burning from the block

This is where they made me into a rock

Pre-Chorus

Is this what it means to grow in smoke?

Every scar turns into a glow that shows

Chorus

BURNING FROM THE STREET!

Flaming off the corners where I used to sleep!

No more waiting on tomorrow — tonight is all we need!

Hands up if you're tired of running from the light

Let it burn like gasoline through steel

I don't know what the future will reveal

Burning from the street, burning from the block

This is where they made me into a rock

Bridge

Maybe this flame was always meant to be the last thing standing

Not a warning sign, not a second chance — just how we landed

Some nights I still feel small in an empty room

But then someone passes by and says you're proof that we can do better than the numbers they put on us

So yeah, watch it burn like it's gasoline through steel

Because when it cools down and turns to gold instead of ash — we'll know it was worth the smoke and heat

Chorus

BURNING FROM THE STREET!

Flaming off the corners where I used to sleep!

No more waiting on tomorrow — tonight is all we need!

Hands up if you're tired of running from the light

Let it burn like gasoline through steel

I don't know what the future will reveal

Burning from the street, burning from the block

This is where they made me into a rock
