[Intro] Yeah, pull the chair close This one's for the corners that remember [Verse 1] Morning bus sighs at the end of the block Bodega gate rattles, quarter past eight on the clock Manny keeps a ledger by the coffee machine Counting every favor and the rent in between I had a notebook folded in my work coat sleeve Four bars at lunch, something I refused to leave Ms. Rosa on the stoop said, "Don't waste that spark" So I wrote her whole summer on a walk home in the dark [Chorus] We make a way from what the day won't give Hands on the wheel, got a reason to live Step by step, let the whole town know If the door stays shut, we build one of our own [Verse 2] Corner store radio, bass through the glass Jamal drew a map of the future in class He circled one room with a secondhand mic Said, "Give me one chance and I'll get it right" We traded old records, patched cables with tape Turned a borrowed basement into room to escape No silver spoon, just a stubborn refrain And a train rolling overhead like a snare in the rain [Bridge] Keep your name on the page Keep your feet on the ground When the whole world gets loud Let your own voice be found [Verse 3] Years moved quick, now the notebook's worn thin Same four blocks, but a wider world within Manny fronts the youth room, Rosa still calls Jamal runs the session when the evening falls I tell every kid, "Bring the truth you know" A small honest line can make a locked room grow From the bus-stop bench to a stage downtown We didn't wait for permission—we laid it down [Chorus] We make a way from what the day won't give Hands on the wheel, got a reason to live Step by step, let the whole town know If the door stays shut, we build one of our own [Outro] Keep the page turning Keep the room open That's how a block becomes a beginning
