Текст песни
[Intro] Yeah, check it Paper cup cooling by the fire escape Whole block moving when the bassline shakes [Verse 1] I step out with the notebook folded in my coat Four sharp corners, every sentence stays afloat Corner-store bell rings, somebody calls my name I got a pocket full of plans and a city-sized frame Bus brakes hiss, but I keep my pace steady Mind on the future, both hands already ready No borrowed shine, I built mine from the floor Turned a locked-up thought to an open front door Every bar has a blueprint, every breath has a place I can hear the room lean in before I finish the phrase From the stairwell to the stage, let the whole crew align If the rhythm gives a window, I’m prepared to climb [Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole town know We came with a plan and a steady flow Hands in the air when the drumline lands Big heart, sharp mind, still we make our stand Raise it up, let the whole town know From the first train call to the last light glow No shortcuts, no fear, no borrowed name We turn one small spark into a city-wide flame [Verse 2] I write with the window cracked, winter in the room Still the page gets warm when the ideas bloom Old keys in the sample, new cut in the grain Every phrase clicks tight like a lock in the rain I don’t chase applause, I make the moment earn it Put the truth in the verse, then I watch how they turn it My people want substance with a hook they can carry So I lace every measure till the message feels ready From a basement rehearsal to a sold-out hall Same shoes, same hunger, just a higher wall If the doubt talks loud, let it talk from behind I’m too busy putting clean punctuation on time [Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole town know We came with a plan and a steady flow Hands in the air when the drumline lands Big heart, sharp mind, still we make our stand Raise it up, let the whole town know From the first train call to the last light glow No shortcuts, no fear, no borrowed name We turn one small spark into a city-wide flame [Bridge] Count one for the work, two for the wait Three for the ones who refused to hesitate Four for the dream with the keys in the door Five for the sound that keeps asking for more [Verse 3] Now the skyline wears gold at the edge of the day But the crew still remembers every debt we repaid No glitter in the promise, just a hand on the wheel And a beat that makes the ordinary feel real I bring intricate lines but the chorus stays simple One voice becomes a hundred when the whole crowd assembles Let the rhythm run clean, let the message stay strong If you came here for the truth, you can sing along [Final Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole town know We came with a plan and a steady flow Hands in the air when the drumline lands Big heart, sharp mind, still we make our stand Raise it up, let the whole town know From the first train call to the last light glow No shortcuts, no fear, no borrowed name We turn one small spark into a city-wide flame [Outro] One small spark, city-wide flame Keep your word, keep your name Ninety-two on the clock, let it ride Strong groove, clear mind, whole block inside
