We Ain't Done Yet

Lyrics

[Intro] Cold air cuts through the stairwell door Two quick knocks, then the lift says four [Verse 1] Rain on the sleeve, got the bus at ten You said, “Keep your head,” so I count to ten Old trainers squeak on the shop-floor tile Still made that meeting with a half-worn smile No big talk when the rent comes round Just hands on the wheel and your feet on ground I learned that calm from the ones who stayed When the easy exits were all prepaid [Hook] Stand your ground when the whole room shifts Keep your word when the cold wind hits From the back-row bench to the front-door step We came this far, we ain’t done yet [Verse 2] Black cab rolls past the shuttered café Blue work shirt from a long Monday My brother’s old coat has a split at the seam Still warm enough when the frost cuts keen They want quick wins, want a name in lights I want every face at the table tonight So I write each promise where I can see And I carry my people like they carried me [Hook] Stand your ground when the whole room shifts Keep your word when the cold wind hits From the back-row bench to the front-door step We came this far, we ain’t done yet [Bridge] One missed call, then the kettle clicks Your note on the fridge says, “Don’t quit” I fold that paper, tuck it away It gets me through another grey day [Final Hook] Stand your ground when the whole room shifts Keep your word when the cold wind hits From the back-row bench to the front-door step We came this far, we ain’t done yet [Outro] We came this far We ain’t done yet
