Gold in the Rust (Version 2)

Intro

Gold in the rust

Verse 1

Concrete jungle, seven a.m.

Steam off the streets like a waking dream

I used to hustle just to survive

Now the same block lights me up alive

Pre-Chorus

Something shifted, something broke loose tonight

Feet still moving, daylight in my eyes

Chorus

Gold in the rust where the shadows play

I found my fire on this corner yesterday

Every sunrise turning gray to gold

This is the moment I was born to hold

Verse 2

Told myself a thousand times no more

Traded struggling for the light and roar

Bass from the window, dust in the air

Rising like smoke where the doubt used to be

Pre-Chorus

Something shifted, something broke loose tonight

Feet still moving, daylight in my eyes

Chorus

Gold in the rust where the shadows play

I found my fire on this corner yesterday

Every sunrise turning gray to gold

This is the moment I was born to hold

Bridge

Not a lot of people get to choose their name

I chose mine off the same block that could've claimed me

Sunrise ain't soft, it's cold and it's loud

This is the only anthem my feet can shout

Chorus

Gold in the rust where the shadows play

I found my fire on this corner yesterday

Every sunrise turning gray to gold

This is the moment I was born to hold
