STARS WITHOUT A SKY

🎵 SONG – “STARS WITHOUT A SKY” Intro (spoken / half-sung) Yeah They told me who I’d never be So I became everything they feared Verse 1 We were broke with our dreams in a backpack Cold nights, concrete under snapbacks Heart too loud for a quiet life Learned how to smile in the hardest times Mama praying while the rent was late I was chasing hope, yeah I couldn’t wait Every “no” carved into my skin But I swear that pain taught me how to win Pre-Chorus They said “slow down, you’re outta line” But I saw gold in the darkest nights Every scar just drew my map I fell so hard but I bounced right back Chorus We were stars without a sky Kings with no crown Too loud for the silence Too real for this town Now we scream our freedom Till the whole world hears We were nothing once Now we’re standing right here Post-Chorus (chanty / hook) Oh-oh-oh We don’t hide, we don’t run Oh-oh-oh This is what we’ve become Verse 2 Lost some friends on the way up Funny how the truth makes fake ones give up Same streets but a different view Same scars, yeah they still feel new Had nights where I almost quit Hands shaking but I still wrote hits If belief was a crime, I’d do time ‘Cause I bet my life on this dream of mine Pre-Chorus 2 When the lights go out, I stay Middle fingers up to yesterday Heart on fire, soul exposed Still scared — but I chose hope Chorus We were stars without a sky Kings with no crown Too loud for the silence Too real for this town Now we scream our freedom Till the whole world hears We were nothing once Now we’re standing right here Bridge (emotional, stripped) Maybe I fall tomorrow But tonight I fly I carry my demons And still look at the sky If everything breaks One thing stays true This fire inside me Always pulls me through Breakdown (beat drops, vocal raw & raspy) I was made from pressure Built from pain Every tear, every loss Still runs in my veins Say my name when I’m gone Say I tried I was a star with no sky Still I shined Final Chorus (BIG, stadium) We were stars without a sky Now we light the night No fear of the fall Yeah we’re born to rise From the dirt, from the doubt From the scars and the fights We were stars without a sky Now we own the light Outro Yeah From nothing to everything We made it out
