[Intro] Yeah, we locked in (yeah) City lights on glow, move in slow-mo (slow-mo) Finger on the pulse, feel the beat in my soul (my soul) Choir in the sky singin' over these roads (these roads) 808 rumble, let the story unfold (unfold) [Verse 1] Step in the zone, I’m in gangsta mode Heart full of gold, but the look too cold Bassline heavy, let the ground explode I was built from the pressure, turned pain to hope Late night grind, kept my name on the low Now the whole crowd chant every word I wrote Turned small-time dreams to a headline show From the back of the bus to the front row glow Got scars on my past I don’t need to show Put the weight in the bar then I learn to grow Took Ls, took hits, but I never let go Put the flame in my chest, now I light that road Choir in my head when I’m feelin’ alone Angels on the hook when I’m far from home I was deep in the dark, now I carve my throne With a pen, with a beat, with a heart of stone [Chorus] Gangsta mode when the lights go low (when the lights go low) Got a choir in the back singin’ high, singin’ low (they sing high, they sing low) Put my pain in the bars, let the whole world know (let the whole world know) That we rise from the fire, turn the dust to gold (turn dust to gold) Gangsta mode, feel the drumline roll (feel it roll) Hear the trombones blast, let the victory blow (let it blow) From the block to the stage, watch the story grow (watch it grow) Now the streets sing along ‘cause they feel my soul (they feel my soul) [Verse 2] Acoustic strings when I talk to the past Soft little chords help the anger pass Used to feel broke like a shattered glass Now I’m cuttin’ through doubt like a razor slash Told my fam one day we’ll be all okay Put food on the table from the words I say Every setback put a beast in my veins Every closed door was a new highway I was runnin’ from the fear that I might not win Now I’m lacin’ every track like I’m born to sprint From the first sixteen to the final print I’ma carve my initials in the music ink Trumpets in my chest, let the brass ring loud Trombones slide when we move that crowd Choir sing hope when my head looks down Let the synths hypnotize, pull me off that ground [Chorus] Gangsta mode when the lights go low (when the lights go low) Got a choir in the back singin’ high, singin’ low (they sing high, they sing low) Put my pain in the bars, let the whole world know (let the whole world know) That we rise from the fire, turn the dust to gold (turn dust to gold) Gangsta mode, feel the drumline roll (feel it roll) Hear the trombones blast, let the victory blow (let it blow) From the block to the stage, watch the story grow (watch it grow) Now the streets sing along ‘cause they feel my soul (they feel my soul) [Bridge] Hands to the sky when the beat goes off (beat goes off) Choir so loud shake the city block (city block) Silence in my doubts when the snares all pop (snares all pop) I was down on the floor, now I aim for the top (aim for the top) Hypnotic lights in the midnight air (midnight air) Gentle guitar cuttin’ through despair (through despair) Every little prayer in the hook I share (hook I share) Got the whole crowd lifted when we all declare (we declare) [Chorus] Gangsta mode when the lights go low (when the lights go low) Got a choir in the back singin’ high, singin’ low (they sing high, they sing low) Put my pain in the bars, let the whole world know (let the whole world know) That we rise from the fire, turn the dust to gold (turn dust to gold) Gangsta mode, feel the drumline roll (feel it roll) Hear the trombones blast, let the victory blow (let it blow) From the block to the stage, watch the story grow (watch it grow) Now the streets sing along ‘cause they feel my soul (they feel my soul) [Outro] Choir fade out in the midnight rain (midnight rain) Trombones hum like a distant train (distant train) Guitar strings ring while the echoes remain (echoes remain) Gangsta mode heart still cuttin’ the chains (cuttin’ the chains)
