[Verse 1] Grew up where the paint peeled slow Hollow halls echo what the streets don’t show Mama held down rent with a prayer and a shift Pop gone missing when the block turned stiff Windows broke but the kids still played Old heads posted where the shadows stayed City forgot us, but we learned to fight Kept the lights on with the hustle at night [Chorus] — DIXIE HOMES, THIS IS WHERE WE BLEED — — DIXIE HOMES, BUILT OUR WILL TO LEAD — DIXIE HOMES — RAISED FROM STONE TURNED BROKEN WALLS INTO BLOOD AND BONE DIXIE HOMES — STILL HOLD STRONG MEMORY LIVES EVEN WHEN WE’RE GONE [Verse 2] Dreams too big for a box this small Still we climbed up from a crumbling wall Cops came slow when the shots rang loud Neighbors stood guard, we protect our crowd Promises made but they tore it down Families scattered from the only home town But the name still lives, can’t erase that fight Dixie made soldiers who survived the night [Bridge] Concrete ghosts whisper in the rain Every crack tells a story of pain You can’t buy out what the struggle gave Roots run deep from the block to the grave [Chorus] — DIXIE HOMES, THIS IS WHERE WE BLEED — — DIXIE HOMES, BUILT OUR WILL TO LEAD — DIXIE HOMES — RAISED FROM STONE TURNED BROKEN WALLS INTO BLOOD AND BONE DIXIE HOMES — STILL HOLD STRONG MEMORY LIVES EVEN WHEN WE’RE GONE
