TITRE : Two Nights in Atlanta [Verse 1 – spoken] I walk in streets that don’t belong to me, streets that change their face at night, depending on what the darkness decides to reveal. I slept in garages, I slept inside silences nobody talks about. Decatur taught me something: real kindness asks for nothing. The rest… you survive it. [Chorus – low sung] Still, I stand tall, even when the city folds me. I breathe, even when nothing holds me. I’m alive, and that’s enough to keep walking. [Verse 2 – spoken] I talked to Coach K on a street corner, like dropping truth on the table. No act, no lights, just two eyes knowing the other ain’t bluffing. I had empty pockets, but a burning certainty. I gave him my name, and the whole city started running through me. Sometimes joy feels like a breakdown in slow motion. [Chorus – low sung] Still, I stand tall, even when the city folds me. I breathe, even when nothing holds me. I’m alive, and that’s enough to keep walking. [Outro – spoken] Atlanta breaks me, Atlanta teaches me, Atlanta lets me breathe inside its cracks. I’m here, I hold, I rise — my way.
