Hino Das Ruas lyrics

I came up where the pavement cracks out loud Old boots, heavy steps, no crown was ever handed down Mama said: Son, keep your head held high I learned real quick: Don't beg, don't wait Backyard talks, we made our plans in the rain Cold-chain dreams, but the pain turned into gain They want my name, but all they get is my deadly stare I walk through the smoke like I've already been there Hear that thunder beneath my feet Every scar had a heartbeat, every wound had heat I stayed silent, now I speak And the whole block feels this beat Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete I won't give up, I won't back down Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Built from loss, but I'm still standing my ground Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Say my name, watch it echo all around I watched friends grow cold over a cheap high I watched smiles get sold just to buy more time Now I move like a blade inside a velvet sleeve Straight talk only, the truth never leaves Every bruise on my back has a story to tell Every locked door taught me how to break out of hell I don't need luck, I got lungs and grit A fist full of fire and a mind that's built for it Hear that thunder beneath my feet Every scar had a heartbeat, every wound had heat I stayed silent, now I speak And the whole block feels this beat Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete I won't give up, I won't back down Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Built from loss, but I'm still standing my ground Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Say my name, watch it echo all around When the sky turned black, I stayed in the fight When they threw their stones, I turned them into light Now I rise from the edge of the street With a heavy heart and a relentless beat Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete I won't give up, I won't back down Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Built from loss, but I'm still standing my ground Crown on the concrete, crown on the concrete Say my name, watch it echo all around
