Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Unpaid rent stacked on the kitchen floor,
Bus pass busted, can’t catch the score.
Night shifts call, I’m chasing the dawn,
Kids’ shoes worn thin, but the fight goes on.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Running on empty, but I’m still alive,
These city streets don’t let me hide.
Love’s the spark, the will to strive,
Fueling the fire I keep inside.
[Chorus]
Being poor ain’t my choice — I won’t bow, won’t fold,
Bills on the table, but a heart of gold.
A shadow that eats my night, but I own my fight,
No chains can hold me — I’m rising in this light.
[Verse 2]
Second hand dreams in a worn-out coat,
Counting every coin, every hope afloat.
Judged from outside, but inside I’m steel,
Every bruise, every scar, I’m learning to heal.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The stakes are higher, but my spirit’s grown,
In this cold world, I carve my own throne.
Love’s the drumbeat, pounding through my bones,
Turning the pain into stepping stones.
[Chorus]
Being poor ain’t my choice — I won’t bow, won’t fold,
Bills on the table, but a heart of gold.
A shadow that eats my night, but I own my fight,
No chains can hold me — I’m rising in this light.
[Bridge]
Lost some battles, lost some friends,
But this story’s mine to bend.
From the ashes, I decide,
Not a victim, I’m alive.
[Final Chorus]
Being poor ain’t my choice — I won’t bow, won’t fold,
Bills on the table, but a heart of gold.
A shadow that eats my night, but I own my fight,
No chains can hold me — I’m rising in this light.
[Outro]
No, being poor ain’t my choice,
But I’m louder now, I’ve found my voice.
With love as armor, I’ll take flight,
In this life, I’m breaking night.
