Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Missed calls from my momma on my homescreen
She just wanna know if I'm okay, what that "alone" mean
Friends getting married, got careers, picking schools
I'm still staring at the ceiling, breaking all my own rules
You said "breathe, baby, life ain't gotta race you"
Then you traced every fear on my face too
We were broke, but the faith had us paid full
Sharing one plate, whole world on a gray stool
[Chorus]
You my north star in my city
When the days get dark, you still with me (still with me)
If I lose my way, you remind me what I'm here for
Love, life, purpose in your voice when you say more
You my north star in my city
Every doubt, every scar, you see pretty (you see pretty)
If I fall apart, you just hold me while I transform
Love, life, purpose in your arms, that's my platform
[Verse 2]
Used to think success was a car and a chain
Til I watched you make a palace out the small and the plain
You lit candles in a kitchen that was falling apart
Said "if we feed the soul first, we already got art"
Scroll screens, everybody screaming that they made it
Still feel vacant when the noise gets the loudest, can't fake it
You pour tea, say "tell me what you chase, and why"
I said "I'm scared that I waste this sky"
[Chorus]
You my north star in my city
When the days get dark, you still with me (still with me)
If I lose my way, you remind me what I'm here for
Love, life, purpose in your voice when you say more
You my north star in my city
Every doubt, every scar, you see pretty (you see pretty)
If I fall apart, you just hold me while I transform
Love, life, purpose in your arms, that's my platform
[Bridge]
Maybe purpose ain't a paycheck, maybe it's a table
Two plates, one dream, tryna do what we're able
You said "baby, all this pressure never fit your frame
You were built to love heavy, not to chase their fame"
So I breathe, count the blessings in the background
Little laughs, late nights, how that track sound
If I only change one heart, let it be yours
You the reason I keep reaching for more (for more)
[Chorus]
You my north star in my city
When the days get dark, you still with me (still with me)
If I lose my way, you remind me what I'm here for
Love, life, purpose in your voice when you say more
You my north star in my city
Every doubt, every scar, you see pretty (you see pretty)
If I lose it all, I still know what I'm breathing for
Love, life, purpose in your heart, that's my reward
