One of those nights, the ones where you feel so at odds with the world at your window And you look outside, look around, look inside of yourself, start to question the things you know 'Cause this city breathes and it dictates the places you'll go and just how you'll end up there Constraints recognized, you can see in my eyes how I'm fighting, I'm strong but I'm scared So I'm charging at walls I'm crashing through windows I'm kicking down doors Close my eyes and let go... And if this city burned down to the ground around my feet tonight I'd still be here, my focus forward, I know where I'm at and I know where I'm going And if this city burned down to the ground around my feet tonight I'd still be here, my focus forward, I know where I'm at and I know where I'm going Follow your dreams, you can do what you want's what they told me since I was no more than three
Then they turned around, sent me off to school where dreams were educated right out of me Yeah, you're free to choose, just as long as you choose higher learning, two kids and cla** mobility I questioned that path and the world turned it's back, now I see that I've got only me So I'm charging at walls I'm crashing through windows I'm kicking down doors Close my eyes and let go... And if this city burned down to the ground around my feet tonight I'd still be here, my focus forward, I know where I'm at and I know where I'm going And if this city burned down to the ground around my feet tonight I'd still be here, my focus forward, I know where I'm at and I know where I'm going I'm still right here...
