(ooh) Peacock on the rundown wire
Color in a hard gray sky
I came up where the heat made the whole block lean Shoes
full of dust, still I kept my shirt clean Talk was cheap,
so I learned what silence cost Every scar got a name for
the nights we lost Peacock pride in a yard full of broken
gates Gold on my back while I'm dancing around the hate I
don't beg for a seat,
I pull wood to the floor Built mine slow,
now they all want more
When you see me turn the bruise into color
You can hear the whole room breathe
I was made from the dirt and the thunder Still I carry
something clean Peacock heart,
I open when the pressure comes Feathers up,
I don't fold and I don't run From the mud to the
light, let the whole world talk I'ma shine,
I'ma strut, I'ma own this walk Peacock heart,
every wound gave a brighter flame You can doubt,
you can laugh, I stay just the same They love the style,
never ask what it did to me How many cold hallways shaped
this dignity I got friends in the smoke,
got ghosts in the paint Got a mouth full of truth and
a chest full of saints If I crack,
let it show, I ain't built for a mask Every win got
a bruise from a terrible past Still I laugh when they stare
like they never seen grace I bring art to a fight,
put a drum in its face
I was hiding all my color in the rain
Now the rain can't make me
small
Let the broken window sing my name
I'm alive through it all Peacock heart,
I open when the pressure comes Feathers up,
I don't fold and I don't run From the mud to the
light, let the whole world talk I'ma shine,
I'ma strut, I'ma own this walk Peacock heart,
every wound gave a brighter flame You can doubt,
you can laugh, I stay just the same
Color after all that weather
I'm still here (ooh)
