[Intro]
[M] I came as six nine one
[F] Once was six seven oh
[M] Now I’m with the two seven oh
[F] You know how the story go
[Verse 1]
Started on the ridge line
Salt on my skin
Bare feet on the boardwalk
War in the grin
Talk got cold quick
But my blood stayed warm
Storm in my chest
And I came through the swarm
Six nine one
That was the first horn blast
Six seven oh
Man, I left that past
Now I move heavy
Like a drum in the sand
Old soul loud
With a blade in my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that chant rise
From the dock to the flame
Old names fading
New weight in my name
If you want proof
Look me in the eyes
I was built by the waves
And I don’t disguise
[Chorus]
I came as six nine one
(Yeah)
Once was six seven oh
(Oh)
Now I’m living with the two seven oh
(We ride)
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
Now the whole wave knows
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
And I never fold
[Verse 2]
M [M]
Black braid swinging
When I step on deck
Fire in the lungs
And the sea in my neck
F [F]
Shells on my belt
And the beat in my chest
I don’t beg for a seat
I earn my place best
M [M]
They tried to pin me
To a number and a hole
But I cracked that chain
Like a drum and a pole
F [F]
Now the village sings
When I walk through the rain
One life cut loose
One name in the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that chant rise
From the dock to the flame
Old names fading
New weight in my name
If you want proof
Look me in the eyes
I was built by the waves
And I don’t disguise
[Chorus]
I came as six nine one
(Yeah)
Once was six seven oh
(Oh)
Now I’m living with the two seven oh
(We ride)
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
Now the whole wave knows
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
And I never fold
[Bridge]
M [M]
I wore the ash
I wore the shame
F [F]
Now I wear thunder
With my name
M [M]
From the old shore
To the open fight
F [F]
I was born to move
Through dark to light
[Final Chorus]
I came as six nine one
(Yeah)
Once was six seven oh
(Oh)
Now I’m living with the two seven oh
(We ride)
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
Now the whole wave knows
Two seven oh
Two seven oh
I came up hard
And I never fold
[Outro]
[M] Six nine one
[F] Six seven oh
[M] Two seven oh
[F] Let the whole wave know
