Street Bloom

[Verse 1] Cracks in the pavement, flowers still fight Same with my scars — they bloom every night I been stepped on, slept on, pushed to the curb But the roots run deep, that’s my silent word Concrete don’t love me, streets don’t care But I rise through the static in the city air Dreams in my pocket, dirt on my shoes Life taught me grace ain’t somethin’ you choose You earn that — in the dark, in the loss In the echoes of the “could’ve been” you toss Still standin’, still green in a cold gray frame I don’t run from the storm — I just enjoy the rain [Hook] Street bloom, cracks can’t hold me down Grow slow, but I still paint this town A little light in the midnight gloom I’m the rose that grew past the room Roots deep where they can’t see pain Petals bright even when it rain Life hard, but I rise so true Street bloom, I was built to push through [Verse 2] Saw boys lose faith, saw hearts go numb But the sun hit different when your fight ain’t done Every setback a seed, every fall a chance I took all that hurt and I watered my plants They say “move on,” but I move through pain I build gardens in places that only know rain Look close — you’ll see petals in the smoke Whole stories in the lines that never got spoke Ain’t no map for this growth, no guidebook page Just a cracked sidewalk and a heart on stage Still green when the world go stone Still hum songs when I’m standin’ alone [Hook] Street bloom, cracks can’t hold me down Grow slow, but I still paint this town A little light in the midnight gloom I’m the rose that grew past the room Roots deep where they can’t see pain Petals bright even when it rain Life hard, but I rise so true Street bloom, I was built to push through [Bridge] Can’t box me in, can’t pave me shut I rise when the day say “just give it up” From the gutter to the skyline view Street bloom, I was built to push through [Verse 3] Now I walk with a calm in my chest Learned joy hit deeper when you been through the mess Seen the worst, but I still choose to fight Got a pocket full of sun for the long nights [Hook – Final] Street bloom, cracks can’t hold me down Grow slow, but I still paint this town A little light in the midnight gloom I’m the rose that grew past the room Roots deep where they can’t see pain Petals bright even when it rain Life hard, but I rise so true Street bloom, I was built to push through [Outro] Bloom where they told you you wouldn’t. That’s the real flex.
