Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve been walkin’ through the rain, no umbrella in my hand
Heavy boots on broken ground, tryin’ to make a stand
Concrete stories under my soles
Each step echoes with pieces of soul

They say the strong don’t cry, but I’ve leaked in silence
Carried burdens like bricks through inner-city violence
Heard the sirens, not just police
But the ones in my head, beggin' for peace

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can’t shake this feelin’
Like I’m fightin’ to breathe
But these scars I’m revealin’
Tell me I still believe

[Chorus]
I’ve held the weight of the world in my chest
But I never let it crush what’s left
Fire in my lungs, truth in my breath
Still singin’ out loud like I ain’t got nothin’ left

Layers on me, you can peel through the pain
Every chord I strum bleeds into the rain
I’m not broken, I’m just rearranged
Yeah, I’m still here… still callin’ my name

[Verse 2]
Streetlight confessions and back alley dreams
We painted hope in spray-can streams
Four brothers, one mic, no fame in our face
Just a raw little rhythm and a little bit of grace

Used to ride on the top deck, beats in my chest
Writing bars on receipts, never settling for less
Each lyric a prayer, each hook a fight
Layers ain’t gone, we just outta sight

[Bridge – soft melodic break]
When it all fades out and the lights go dim
Will the echoes of our chords still swim?
In the hearts of the crowd, in the steps of the youth
Will they carry our sound like living proof?

[Final Chorus – bigger, more intense]
I’ve held the weight of the world in my chest
But I never let it crush what’s left
Fire in my lungs, truth in my breath
Still singin’ out loud like I ain’t got nothin’ left

Layers on me, yeah, still deep in the grain
Every tear I dropped grew roots in the rain
I’m not gone, I just redefined pain
Still here… still singin’ my name
