City Shadows Bounce

Late night on my mind Still I shine I came up with

the weight in my chest Blue on the smile but I still

get dressed Whole block watching how I handle pain Turn my cold

nights into something to gain Mama said keep that fire in your

walk Even when the room go still,

let your heart talk I been chasing daylight through the rain on

the glass Young hood star,

built to last If I fall,

I get up cleaner

Heart got heavy, soul got meaner

I know dark days make the dream look far But they can't

hide who we are I'm a hood star with a cracked-up halo

Rain on the window,

still I won't lay low Got pain in my step,

got gold in my scars Sad little smile,

but I'm aiming far

I'm a hood star,

yeah, I'm lighting my way Through the hard nights into better days

Friends turned thin when the road got steep So I learned how

to move, never lose my feet Every bruise made a map,

every loss made a code Put the truth in the rhyme,

let it carry the load I don't flex for the mirror,

I just speak for the hurt Put my name on the dust,

then I shook off the dirt Still dancing with the ache when

the skyline jars But the hurt made room for the stars I'm

a hood star with a cracked-up halo Rain on the window,

still I won't lay low

Got pain in my step,

got gold in my scars Sad little smile,

but I'm aiming far

I'm a hood star,

yeah, I'm lighting my way Through the hard nights into better days

Still I rise Still I rise

Hood
