{sub-bass roll-in} Yeah, yeah Turn the headphones up a bit
{snare tap} Okay, look
I watched the pavement crack beneath my worn-out shoes
No time to win,
too busy trying not to lose
They paint the skyline with a false design
But I write the truth in every single line (uh-huh) {double-time hi-hats}
We rise above the noise
of the avenue
Finding our way through the darkest view
They try to hold us down,
we break the mold
Writing our names in a page of gold
(yeah, gold)
{swelling brass section} Streetlamp flickering,
casting long cold forms
We stood together weathering the heaviest storms
Now we take the wheel,
navigate the deep
While the rest of the world is fast asleep (sleep)
{filter sweep down}
We rise above the noise of the avenue
Finding our way
through the darkest view
They try to hold us down,
we break the mold
Writing our names in a page of gold (yeah,
gold)
{heavy sub-bass drop}
Gold on the pages...
No turning back now...
(mmm-mmm) {instruments slowly fade out,
leaving only vinyl crackle}
