Verse 1

Mama said slow down but I'm already gone

Prayers in my pocket and I'm holding on

They don't see the late nights when the hope gets thin

Dreams I'm chasing got me running in the wind

Pre-Chorus

And I keep climbing higher

Through the smoke and through the fire

Heart keeps beating louder

Feel it taking over now

Chorus

Burning through the city with the lights down low

Every step I take just watch the whole world glow

I been on my own but I ain't letting go

Flames up in my chest yeah everybody knows

Post-Chorus

Burning burning

Yeah

Burning burning

Verse 2

Made a couple promises I couldn't keep

Tears I shed running fifty dollars deep

Told 'em I'd make something out the concrete

Now I'm standing tall while they're counting sheep

Pre-Chorus

And I keep climbing higher

Through the smoke and through the fire

Heart keeps beating louder

Feel it taking over now

Chorus

Burning through the city with the lights down low

Every step I take just watch the whole world glow

I been on my own but I ain't letting go

Flames up in my chest yeah everybody knows

Bridge

I been walking through the fire with my eyes closed

Everybody wanna know how the story goes

Scars on my back from the times I rose

Now they see me shining watch 'em switchin' clothes

Verse 3

Dark nights turned to golden days

I ain't got the time for the games they play

Heart been hurting but the pain is fuel

Loyalty is rare and I learned that rule

Used to pray for rain now I'm in the storm

Built this from the bottom had to stay pure

Tears on the pillow when the world went cold

Now I'm in the penthouse looking at the globe

Pre-Chorus

And I keep climbing higher

Through the smoke and through the fire

Heart keeps beating louder

Feel it taking over now

Chorus

Burning through the city with the lights down low

Every step I take just watch the whole world glow

I been on my own but I ain't letting go

Flames up in my chest yeah everybody knows

Verse 4

They said give it up you ain't meant for this

Now I'm signing deals and I'm bending wrists

Mama crying happy tears on the kitchen floor

Couple stacks in the drawer can't ignore

Memphis in my blood yeah I'm standing proud

Used to be a ghost now I'm in the cloud

Everybody with me from the block before

If you ain't been there you won't make it to the door

Pre-Chorus

And I keep climbing higher

Through the smoke and through the fire

Heart keeps beating louder

Feel it taking over now

Chorus

Burning through the city with the lights down low

Every step I take just watch the whole world glow

I been on my own but I ain't letting go

Flames up in my chest yeah everybody knows

Post-Chorus

Burning burning

From the ashes to the throne

On my own

Yeah

Never letting go
