I was built from grit and grace No chain on me,
I know my place (ooh)
Thank you, I’m still standing,
I don’t fold
Loyal to the ones who never switched for gold
I praise what made the stars and made my breath I walk
like I belong in life and death (yeah)
Came up on the corner with a calm face
Two cities in my cadence,
I don’t waste space
If you held me down,
I remember that
If you played me close,
I’m returning that
Gratitude in my chest like armor plate
I don’t need your love,
I just reciprocate (uh)
Don’t test my loyalty,
it’s written in stone I move with my people,
I’m never alone
Up in the air,
but my feet stay set Creation watching—so I pay that debt (ah)
Thank you, I’m still standing,
I don’t fold
Loyal to the ones who never switched for gold
I praise what made the stars and made
my breath I walk like I belong in life and death (yeah) (hummmm)
I don’t pray to fame,
I pray to the maker Every win I take,
I take it for the labor
From the dust to the light,
I’m a witness now I keep my word—watch me seal that vow (ooh)
Thank you, I’m still standing,
I don’t fold
Loyal to the ones who never switched for gold
I praise what made the stars and made my breath I walk
like I belong in life and death (yeah)
Thank you—
Loyal— (ahhhh)
