[Bridge]
If I blink too long, I might miss my moment
Everything I love feel heavy when I hold it
Streetlights on my face, and the pain still show it
But I keep movin' like I already know it

[Verse 1]
Born where the dreams get chased by sirens
Where love get quiet and the tears stay hidin'
I seen my brother lose his faith to the pavement
Seen my mama pray hard through the rent and the patience
I was young, thought time was a favor
Now every goodbye got a different flavor
City full of ghosts, but I still walk through
With a whole lotta hurt and a whole lotta truth

[Chorus]
Life waits for no one, so I'm runnin' through the rain
Tryna turn this pressure into somethin' I can name
If I fall, I get up, I don't stay there long
'Cause the world keep turnin' and the hurt moves on
Life waits for no one, no, it never did
So I sing through the scars like a Philly kid
Heart too tired, but I still move strong
'Cause life waits for no one, and the night don't stop long

[Verse 2]
Late nights on the curb with the J's untied
Couple friends switched up, had to let that slide
Love in my chest, but my trust stay guarded
Every blessing feel small when the road get started
I been talkin' to God through the static
Tryna keep my soul clean in a place so tragic
On Broad Street vibes with a broken halo
Still I chase that light when the dark say no

[Bridge]
If I blink too long, I might miss my moment
Everything I love feel heavy when I hold it
Streetlights on my face, and the pain still show it
But I keep movin' like I already know it

[Verse 3]
Now I know every wound got a lesson
Every closed door led me to a blessing
I don't need forever, I need one real shot
One real love, one real peace, one real plot
So I breathe through the chaos, let it pass me
Turn the ache to a anthem, make it last, see
If the city's gon' raise me, let it be loud
I'ma stand in my truth while the tears pour down

[Verse 4]
I'ma keep that flame when the wind get mean
Keep my name in the prayer when the lights won't seen
Every bruise on my soul got me wiser now
Every tear that I shed made me louder now
If tomorrow don't wait, then I won't either
I'm a cold night bloom with a warm heart fever
And I learned how to love in the middle of loss
Still I rose through it all, yeah, that was the cost

[Bridge]
If I blink too long, I might miss my moment
Everything I love feel heavy when I hold it
Streetlights on my face, and the pain still show it
But I keep movin' like I already know it

[Final Verse]
So here's to the ones who been carryin' weight
Who been smilin' in the storm, keepin' hope at stake
To the ones with the scars and the dreams still breathin'
To the ones still believin' when the night stay deep in
I wrote this for the kids with a heart on fire
For the lost, for the found, for the soul desire
If life don't wait, then I won't waste mine
I'ma live through the hurt and shine through the time

[Final Chorus]
Life waits for no one, so I'm runnin' through the rain
Tryna turn this pressure into somethin' I can name
If I fall, I get up, I don't stay there long
'Cause the world keep turnin' and the hurt moves on
Life waits for no one, no, it never did
So I sing through the scars like a Philly kid
Heart too tired, but I still move strong
'Cause life waits for no one, and the night don't stop long

[Outro]
Yeah, life waits for no one
So I love while I can, and I move like I know somethin'
Philly nights, heavy heart, but I'm still comin'
Life waits for no one, and I ain't done runnin'
[Fades Out]
