Blacktop Crown

Verse 1

Street gone empty

I’m still awake

Blacktop under me

No room to break

Rain on the glass

Palm on the wheel

Head full of smoke

Heart made of steel

I came up low

Now I move high

They left me for dead

I learned to rise

Cold on my face

Pressure in my chest

I don’t fold once

I just do my best

Pre-Chorus

Keep that fear off me

Keep that doubt low

I been in the dark

Now I’m letting it go

Hands on the wheel

Eyes on the crown

If I fall tonight

I come back down

Chorus

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Won’t let me down

Say my name

Then watch me stand

I made this pain

Into my hands

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Take it now

Verse 2

Same old blocks

Same iron gates

New scars on me

But I don’t shake

I saw the close calls

I heard the lies

Still kept my stride

Kept my eyes alive

They want my seat

They want my breath

I gave the fear

A quiet death

No easy road

No sweet release

I built my faith

On broken streets

Pre-Chorus

Keep that fear off me

Keep that doubt low

I been in the dark

Now I’m letting it go

Hands on the wheel

Eyes on the crown

If I fall tonight

I come back down

Chorus

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Won’t let me down

Say my name

Then watch me stand

I made this pain

Into my hands

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Take it now

Bridge

Let it all shake

Let the floor crack

I was in the pit

And I climbed back

No more chains

No more ghosts

I wear my scars

Like a holy oath

Final Chorus

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Won’t let me down

Say my name

Then watch me stand

I made this pain

Into my hands

I rise, I rise

Blacktop crown

I rise, I rise

Take it now

I rise, I rise

Hear that sound

From the dark

To the dawn

I’m unbound
