Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [mono radio voice] Live and direct From the edge of the map Where the dark met the light And the volume stayed maxed [Verse 1] Clock in Same hoodie, same mission Came from the cut Now I’m cuttin’ through the friction Backpack floors Cold tile, late shift Dreams in the drawer Heart beatin’ like a makeshift Mama said “work” Street said “fight” I learned to pray with one eye open at night Hope in my chest Fear in my jaw One foot in the clouds One stuck to the wall [Chorus] Dark meets light, that’s my anthem (yeah) Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’ Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly I was built in the shadows just to shine Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend Turn my worst days right into my best friends Every scar on my name lookin’ bright I was raised in the dark just to carry this light [Verse 2] Used to count coins Just to split one meal Now I count blessings Every loss turned real Homies in the ground Others lost in the smoke I keep they names in my mouth Like a promise I spoke Feet on the cracks But I step with grace Still hear the sirens Still pick up pace But I got that fire Right under my skin Even when I fall I land ready to win [Chorus] Dark meets light, that’s my anthem (hey) Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’ Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly I was built in the shadows just to shine Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend Turn my worst days right into my best friends Every scar on my name lookin’ bright I was raised in the dark just to carry this light [Bridge] Hands up high for the ones still climbin’ (woah) Head down low when the pressure keep risin’ If you stand in the storm, you’re already blessed ’Cause the sun feel better when you came from the depths [Chorus] Dark meets light, that’s my anthem Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’ Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly I was built in the shadows just to shine Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend Turn my worst days right into my best friends Every scar on my name lookin’ bright I was raised in the dark just to carry this light
