Concrete Miracle

Verse 1

Block

Hot metal

Cold concrete ground

I watched the water rise

The faucet wouldn't stop its steady drip

Drip

Drip

Mama prayed

Searching for a miracle

Found a heavy burden in the dirt

Hard days

Hard nights

Hard life

Running from the blue lights in the dark

No luck

No love

No peace

The bottom felt like home for twenty years

Chorus

Started down below

Started down below

Now we moving up to where the grass is green

Started down below

Started down below

Keeping every promise that I made to me

It was cold

It was dark

It was rough

Started down below

Started down below

Started down below

Verse 2

Rags

Rich habit

Rented rooms empty

Selling hope to buy a bit of time

Pockets skinny

Mind heavy

Soul tired

Walking miles just to find a break

Found it

Kept it

Sold it

Told the truth about the way it feels

Grind

Struggle

Win

Lost my brothers to the system gates

Cold cells

Cold hearts

Cold world

Eating dinner from a plastic tray

One plate

One spoon

One life

Chorus

Started down below

Started down below

Now we moving up to where the grass is green

Started down below

Started down below

Keeping every promise that I made to me

It was cold

It was dark

It was rough

Started down below

Started down below

Started down below

Bridge

They didn't see me

They didn't hear me

They didn't want me

Now they see me

Now they hear me

Now they want me

Climbing up the ladder with no hands

Falling back was never in the plans

I remember how the hunger felt

I remember how the cards were dealt

I remember how I saved myself

Chorus

Started down below

Started down below

Now we moving up to where the grass is green

Started down below

Started down below

Keeping every promise that I made to me

It was cold

It was dark

It was rough

Started down below

Started down below

Started down below

Outro

Way down

Way down

Used to be way down

Look at us now

Look at us now

Look at us now

Down below

Down below

Finally left the dirt

Finally found the sun

Down below

Down below
