Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Heavy steps on the pavement Mud on my shoe from the last storm Little stem in the crack of the sidewalk Still drinking from a puddle, trying to stay warm Gray sky over these cold towers Cheap paint on a tenement door Got a seed in my pocket like a secret Like a reason I can’t rot on this floor [Chorus] I’m just a soft flower in the hard dirt Sweet in the mouth of a harsh world (yeah) Petals in the city where the teeth hurt Blooming through the blood and the brick dust swirl Soft flower in the hard dirt (hard dirt) Rooted in the rust and the siren song If the weather wanna break me, let the rain flirt I’ma drink every drop, I’ma grow so strong (so strong) [Verse 2] Cat on the trash can hunting shadows Eyes bright green in the alley fog Crunch of glass by the corner market Ink on the wall, little heart, little god Paint drip thick like candy Same shade red as a busted lip Art on the brick like a bandage For a block that been bleeding from the grip [Chorus] I’m just a soft flower in the hard dirt Sweet in the mouth of a harsh world (oh) Petals in the city where the teeth hurt Blooming through the blood and the brick dust swirl Soft flower in the hard dirt (hard dirt) Rooted in the rust and the siren song If the weather wanna break me, let the rain flirt I’ma drink every drop, I’ma grow so strong (grow strong)
