Skyline In My Chest

rap, Big anthemic rap-pop over emotional synthwave pads, pulsing arps, and bright flute top lines; male vocals, Tight, trap-influenced drums in the verses, then explosive, wide synth chords and stacked gang vocals in the hook, Risers and tom builds lift into each chorus, with a cinematic, half-time outro that feels like a victory lap, dynamic, pop, emotional, male vocals

[Intro]
Yeah
Heart up
Head high
Let’s go

[Verse 1]
Woke up with a war in my ribs
Same shirt, same shoes, same script
Scrolling through a highlight reel
Thinking, who edited my bits?

Mama said “boy, you too loud”
Teacher said “keep both feet down”
Now I’m touching every cloud I was told to avoid
Got the skyline in my chest when I’m hearing that sound

[Pre-Chorus]
They only show up when the sun comes
But I was running in the rain, going numb
Now every step got a drum in my bones
Every scar is a flag on a throne (yeah)

[Chorus]
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
Heart so loud, it’s shaking the ground (hey!)
I took the pain, turned it into this sound
Singing my name till the walls fall down
Hands up high if you feel that fire
From the nosebleeds down to the choir
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
And I’m never gonna tone that down (never)

[Verse 2]
Used to feel small in my own skin
Like my dream’s two sizes too big
Talking to the mirror like a rival
Saying “who you think you are, kid?”

Now I walk in like I own that doubt
Turn fears to a roar when I open my mouth
Every “you can’t” gets crossed out quick
Made a promise to myself, I’ma die this proud (yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
They only clap when the lights hit
But I was grinding in the quiet, fighting silence
Now every “no” that they threw at my head
Is a brick in the road that I tread (let’s go)

[Chorus]
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
Heart so loud, it’s shaking the ground (oh!)
I took the pain, turned it into this sound
Singing my name till the walls fall down
Hands up high if you feel that fire
From the nosebleeds down to the choir
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
And I’m never gonna tone that down

[Bridge]
Look how far we came from the back row
Turn the doubts into confetti when they blow
Every tear that we shed was an anthem
Every crack in our voice was a cannon (boom)
If you ever felt lost, you’re the reason I’m here
We the choir of the kids who were raised on fear
Now we chanting so loud that the past disappears
Let ‘em hear, let ‘em hear, let ‘em hear (yeah)

[Chorus]
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
Heart so loud, it’s shaking the ground
I took the pain, turned it into this sound
Singing my name till the walls fall down
Hands up high if you feel that fire
From the nosebleeds down to the choir
I got a whole skyline in my chest right now
And I’m never gonna tone that down

[Outro]
[Half-time, big and wide]
Chest like a drum, I was made like that
Crown in the mud, yeah, I came right back
Whole crowd singing every line I bled
I got a whole sky living in my chest (woah)
