Skyline on the Run (версия 2)

Verse

Corner store at the crossroads, cash on the counter by nine

Phone lit up on my waistband like a second heartbeat every time

Momma's words still in my pocket from the night before

I used to hide behind windows counting how many pairs we'd buy

Today I'm the one they all ask if I know what the hours do

Sneakers stacked outside, box tape wrapped around my neck like armor

Every sale is a door wide open somewhere that wasn't here last week

Pre-Chorus

Tell me I was never made for this kind of money

Tell me it don't change who I am at all

I already know how the other shoe fits but nobody asks me to walk

Something in my chest keeps on talking like I'm already walking that road

Chorus

Skyline on the run, we're chasing every dollar till sunrise

Streetlight turns orange then gold, we still got miles and a mile wide

Every window is someone's tomorrow, we're just the ones who believe

We built it from the corner store up to something we can't see

Verse 2

Second storefront down on the main drag, name above the door in red letters now

Milk crates turned to chairs and a sign that says 'welcome home' written out by hand somehow

Same kid stacking boxes at five am, only now he's got his own keys in his pocket

Some nights I still remember every version of myself that ever walked this same block

My brother used to believe that making it meant leaving
