Raw Jazz Streets

Don't let me down

Not when the floor is thin

I came from a room where the rent ate first Knuckles on

the table, had to bargain with hurt They said keep it polite,

keep the hunger tucked down But truth got teeth when the wolves

come round I don't need a crown,

I need bread and a plan Every scar on my name made

a steadier hand If you stand in my corner,

stand all the way now

Look me in the face,

don't let me down I held the line when the rain got

mean

Kept one flame where nobody could see If your word is a

bridge, make it sound

Don't let me down

Don't let me down,

I need you right here When the world talks loud

and the road ain't clear Don't let me down,

keep your feet on the ground

If you say you got me,

don't let me down Oh,

don't let me down

Don't let me down

I watched promises fold like paper in heat Learned who really rides

when there ain't no receipt Now my voice cuts clean through the

back of the room Black keys under pressure,

still flowers can bloom Don't sell me a smile with a blade

tucked behind I'm done making shrines out of people who lie Meet

me where the work is,

prove it out loud If you say you got me,

don't let me down

If I break,

I break honest

If I fall, call my name

I don't need perfect promise

I need hands in the rain

Don't let me down

Don't let me down,

I need you right here When the world talks loud and the

road ain't clear Don't let me down,

keep your feet on the ground

If you say you got me,

don't let me down Don't let me down,

don't

fold, don't fade Stand by the vow that your own mouth made

Don't let me down

I carried enough for two

Don't let me down

Let the real come through

Don't let me down Not now,

not you
