[Verse]
In the shadows, secrets creep, truths they slumber,
Hood whispers louder than a midnight thunder.
A flicker of hope, buried under the weight,
Chasing the dream, dodging the hate.
[Chorus]
Even when it’s unexpected,
The truth will resurrect it.
I believe in me, I stand tall,
Keep trying 'til I’m heard, I won’t fall.
[Verse 2]
Dust on my shoulders, stories untold,
Future in my palms, it’s solid gold.
Brick by brick, building my voice,
The world gon’ hear, I’ve made my choice.
[Bridge]
Echoes in the alleys, truth takes flight,
What’s done in the dark shines in the light.
Doubt tried to drown me, I learned to swim,
Faith in myself, I’m bound to win.
[Chorus]
Even when it’s unexpected,
The truth will resurrect it.
I believe in me, I stand tall,
Keep trying 'til I’m heard, I won’t fall.
[Outro]
Tides turn slow, but they always turn,
From the ashes, the truth will burn.
I’m a voice, a spark, a flame,
History gon’ remember my name.
