City in My Veins

[Intro – spoken ad-libs] Yeah… lights on, doubts off. Let’s go. [Verse 1 – rap] Late bus, cold wind, pockets full of plans, Dreams in a notepad, ink on my hands. I’ve been sprinting through the midnight, outrunning my past, Turned every closed door to a lesson that lasts. Phone on silent, vision on loud, Built from the quiet while they chase the crowd. I don’t bargain with the fear—made peace with the pain, Now every step I take lights up my name. [Pre-Chorus – melodic] Take my hand, let the skyline bend, If we fall, we’ll fall and ascend. [Chorus – pop hook] You put the city in my veins, I feel it running, running. Turn all the static into flames—our hearts are humming, humming. If the night tries to pull us down, we’ll paint it gold again, ’Cause you and I, we come alive—city in my veins. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, we don’t slow— Oh-oh, let it glow. [Verse 2 – rap] Clock hands blur but the purpose stays, I was counting my losses, now I’m counting the days ’Til we break new ground, put roots in the sky, Make a rooftop garden out of reasons why. Ten toes steady when the floorboards creak, Faith in the whisper when the headlines speak. We don’t beg for a seat—built our own campaign, Signed it in neon with a steady hand frame. [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand, let the skyline bend, If we fall, we’ll fall and ascend. [Chorus] You put the city in my veins, I feel it running, running. Turn all the static into flames—our hearts are humming, humming. If the night tries to pull us down, we’ll paint it gold again, ’Cause you and I, we come alive—city in my veins. [Bridge – half-time / intimate] If the lights go out, I’ll carry the spark, If the road runs thin, we’ll redraw the map. Close your eyes—hear the future start, Three, two, one—no looking back. [Final Chorus] You put the city in my veins, I feel it running, running. Turn all the static into flames—our hearts are humming, humming. If the night tries to pull us down, we’ll paint it gold again, ’Cause you and I, we come alive—city in my veins. You put the city in my veins—bright blood, no chains, We’re electric, unapologetic—city in my veins. [Outro] Oh-oh… let it glow… city in my veins.
