Verse 1 I woke up with the city in my lungs, Palm trees swayin’ like they know I’m young, Every dream I chased was runnin’ down Sunset, Every scar I got’s a little gold sunset. Windows down, let the future blow through, Every cracked streetlight got a pulse like it knew, We were built for the nights that don’t sleep, With a little bit of fire and a whole lotta beat. Pre-Chorus And I can feel it now, Like thunder underground, The skyline’s calling out, Said, “Don’t you back down.” Chorus Hello, neon in the hills, We were made for the thrill, Take the long road, break the silence, Turn the fear into a riot. Hello, city of the stars, You can see us who we are, Hands up, hearts loud, let it take us, We were born to chase the bass now. Verse 2 I’ve been low, I’ve been lost in the glare, Seen my name in the dark like it’s written out there, Every wrong turn taught me how to survive, Every late-night scar kept my hope alive. Hear that kick drum hit like a heartbeat, Hear that echo roll through the back streets, If the world gets heavy, we get louder, Turn the broken into power. Pre-Chorus And I can feel it now, Like thunder underground, The skyline’s calling out, Said, “Don’t you back down.” Chorus Hello, neon in the hills, We were made for the thrill, Take the long road, break the silence, Turn the fear into a riot. Hello, city of the stars, You can see us who we are, Hands up, hearts loud, let it take us, We were born to chase the bass now. Rap Verse I came up on the edge of the map, with a dream too big for the back of a cab, White knuckles on the wheel, whole world saying, “That’ll never last.” But I learned quick, pressure makes diamonds, Every setback’s just a setup for the climbin’. I don’t fold, I don’t quit, I just rise with the smoke, Turn the pain to a flame every time that I spoke. From the block to the boulevard, we been ready for war, Now the whole night shaking when we walk through the door. Yeah, we sing for the broken, we run for the brave, Got a fire in the chest that the dark can’t cave. When the beat drops hard and the crowd gets live, That’s the moment we remember we were made to survive. Bridge Oh-oh, we’re not falling down, Oh-oh, we’re taking the sound, Oh-oh, let the whole world know, We were born for this glow. Final Chorus Hello, neon in the hills, We were made for the thrill, Take the long road, break the silence, Turn the fear into a riot. Hello, city of the stars, You can see us who we are, Hands up, hearts loud, let it take us, We were born to chase the bass now.
