[Verse 1] Mama sold fruit by dawn Hands cut green, then gone Bus fare tucked in a sock Two jobs, one clock Paint on the wall said rise Rain on the block, same skies I learned to smile with scars Count change, dodge cars [Pre-Chorus] When the floor starts shaking I keep my heart from breaking Feet on the curb, I’m pacing Still here, still standing [Chorus] Life go up, life go down I keep dancing through the sound Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens One hand pray, one hand crown I keep moving through the ground Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens [Verse 2] Cousin caught time last spring Momma said, "Boy, sing" So I turned pain to steps Turned debt to reps Cold day, hot blood, tight stare No sleep, but I’m there Church drums in my chest I don’t fold, I just press [Pre-Chorus] When the floor starts shaking I keep my heart from breaking Feet on the curb, I’m pacing Still here, still standing [Chorus] Life go up, life go down I keep dancing through the sound Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens One hand pray, one hand crown I keep moving through the ground Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens [Bridge] If joy comes late, I wait If pain comes back, I skate Not every wound turns light But I still fight that fight [Final Chorus] Life go up, life go down I keep dancing through the sound Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens One hand pray, one hand crown I keep moving through the ground Mangoes and sirens Mangoes and sirens
