[Verse 1] I said it with split lips Concrete on my hands Next time Draw my line where I stand Wasn’t lockin’ doors Wasn’t drownin’ in shame Just a spark in my chest For a thunderstorm flame [Pre-Chorus] I’ve fallen hard Heard that hit the ground Learned the rhythm of fightin’ When the world throws doubt around [Chorus] Next time, I’ll stand my ground Next time, I won’t back down Next time, I’ll dream out loud Watch me become Watch me become Next time, I’ll shake this town [Verse 2] I was rollin’ with ghosts In the back of my ride Hands full of sorry Talkin’ luck from the side But I’m done stayin’ low For the weight in my way Got a new kind of fire And a longer road today [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been that man Who almost gave in Now I’m raisin’ this voice From the marrow and skin [Chorus] Next time, I’ll stand my ground Next time, I won’t back down Next time, I’ll dream out loud Watch me become Watch me become Next time, I’ll shake this town [Bridge] If the block wants a reason I’ll give it a name If it’s askin’ for spark I’ll be gasoline flame No more sayin’ maybe No more prayin’ small I’ll rap to tomorrow Till it answers the call [Final Chorus] Next time, I’ll stand my ground Next time, I won’t back down Next time, I’ll dream out loud Watch me become Watch me become Next time, I’ll shake this town Next time, I’ll rise again Next time, through the dust and wind Next time, I’ll bring the whole sky down Watch me become Watch me become Next time, I’ll wear that crown
