Prompt / Lyrics
[Chorus – soulful, bluesy] I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to love, give me a reason to cry I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to live, don’t let this moment die [Verse 1] Walking through these cold streets, lights on my back Dreams heavy on my shoulders like a chain in a sack Every corner got a story, every shadow got pain But I’m searching for a reason just to stand in the rain Mama told me “son, keep your head held high” But the rent overdue and my pocket run dry Still I grind, still I climb, with my soul on the line ‘Cause a dollar and a prayer’s how the stars still shine [Chorus] I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to love, give me a reason to cry I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to live, don’t let this moment die [Verse 2] I see the saints turn sinners when the night gets cold And the sinners find redemption when they stories unfold Every verse is a confession, every rhyme is a truth Every scar on my body is a piece of the proof The city breathes fire, but it keeps me alive It’s a war every day just to learn how to survive But I’m destined for the crown, I can feel it inside Even broken wings still remember how to fly [Chorus] I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to love, give me a reason to cry I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to live, don’t let this moment die [Bridge – spoken / half-rap] All I need is one shot, one mic, one stage One night to turn the struggle into power and rage One reason to believe, one spark in the dark One soul in the fire, one beat, one heart [Chorus – extended] I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to love, give me a reason to cry I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to live, don’t let this moment die I’m takin’, I’m takin’, I want it all now Give me a reason to love, give me a reason to cry [Outro – soft, fading] Give me a reason… give me a reason… To love, to cry, to live, to try…
