Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Long nights
Still goin’
For you, Micah
[Verse 1]
Got my back on this busted couch
Bills on the table like a card game, spread out
Mama prayin’ in the kitchen, eyes red now
I kiss her on the forehead, tell her, “We gon’ get out”
I was runnin’ with the same crew since the playground
We was sharin’ single meals, split it eight rounds
Now I’m lookin’ at the city from the Greyhound
Sayin’, “When I touch down, we gon’ stay proud” (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m tryna make a way, for my blood, for my brothers
Put the crown on my name, but I’m carryin’ the others
If I rise, then we rise, we all stand from the bottom
I’m buildin’ up a world with my hands
So you can walk on it, Micah
I’m buildin’ up a world with my hands
So you can walk on it
[Verse 2]
Micah, little brown boy sleepin’ on my chest
I hear every shallow breath, feel it in my neck
Thinkin’ ‘bout my father, all the things he never said
Swearin’ I’ma break that chain, nothin’ like the rest
Studio at 2 a.m., then the job at eight
Eyes heavy but the vision cut sharp, don’t fade
Scrollin’ through the texts, all my dogs lost faith
I hit ‘em back, “Keep your shoes laced, I’m on the way” (on the way)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I ain’t chasin’ just the shine, I’m chasin’ shelter
Keys to the crib where the pain can’t enter
Sunday dinner, all my people at the table
Laugh lines deeper than the scars we came through
[falsetto ad-libs]
I see you, I see you
We gon’ eat, we gon’ eat too
Micah runnin’ through the yard in some beat shoes
And he never gotta wonder what his dad do
[Chorus]
