Verse 1
Well I was raised where the concrete cracked and the truth came cheap,
Where the preachers smiled with their hands out wide and the saints ain’t lose no sleep.
Teachers said “Boy, be patient, kid,” but patience never paid the rent,
And every dream I tried to chase got burnt down before it ever went.
Pre‑Chorus
But I keep movin’, keep improvin’,
World keeps spinnin’, I stay groovin’.
Life gets heavy, yeah, I know it—
Still got fire, still gon’ show it.
Chorus
’Cause hope ain’t cheap, you gotta bleed to keep it,
Gotta hold your people close when the floor starts sinkin’.
Yeah, the world’s unfair, but we’re still breathin’,
And every time we fall, we rise up swingin’.
Verse 2
Got friends hit the bottom hard, said the climb was way too steep,
Said the world took everything they loved and left ‘em nothin’ they could keep.
So we pooled our last few dollars, bought some time and bought some peace,
Told them “Hey now! You ain’t alone—your darkest night ain’t your defeat.”
Pre‑Chorus
Yeah, we keep movin’, keep improvin’,
Storm keeps howlin’, we keep provin’
Even when the pain gets louder,
We turn dust to somethin’ prouder.
Chorus
’Cause hope ain’t cheap, you gotta bleed to keep it,
Gotta hold your people close when the floor starts sinkin’.
Yeah, the world’s unfair, but we’re still breathin’,
And every time we fall, we rise up swingin’.
Bridge
Oh, the world’ll try to break you,
Shake you, take you,
Tell you that you’re nothin’ but the shit you came through.
But I’ve seen broken kids turn into legends overnight—
All it takes is one good friend and a spark to reignite.
Final Chorus
Hope ain’t cheap, but we still chase it,
Patch our wounds and rearrange it.
Yeah, the world’s unfair, but we’re still dreamin’,
And every time we fall, we rise up swingin’.
Yeah, and when you fall Sofia, you better rise up swingin’!
