Verse 1
I’m across the street, just staring at the brickMy last name up top, clean cut, set in the lintelUsed to walk past here with my hood up, hands numbNow I own the door, and the whole block knows where I’m fromI remember cold shifts, bus fumes in my coatRed stamps on my dreams, more “no’s” than I could holdApplications stacked, names spelled wrong, eyes coldStill I came back slow, brick by brick, kept bold
Pre-Chorus
Signed my name thereInk still freshWatched it all changeIn one deep breath
Chorus
Across the street, I see it nowMy family name on the front of townI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappearAcross the street, I see it clearAll those cold nights led me hereI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappear
Verse 2
First in was the barber, shop smell, sharp lineNext door got the bakery, sugar dust and brass signUpstairs got a therapist, two desks, quiet roomDownstairs got a tailor with a light on after noonI passed them keys like a promise and a prayerSaid, “Pay the rent, keep the windows bright in there”No boss on my back now, no borrowed sense of spaceJust a building I raised, with my blood in the frame
Pre-Chorus
Signed my name thereHands shook onceWatched my old lifeFade in the sun
Chorus
Across the street, I see it nowMy family name on the front of townI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappearAcross the street, I see it clearAll those cold nights led me hereI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappear
Bridge
I thought legacy meant a picture on a wallBut it’s heat in the winter and a place for us allIt’s my niece seeing her name in a window reflectionIt’s my son learning rent can be more than extractionIt’s the old men nodding like, “Yeah, he did that”It’s the block breathing easy where the vacancy sat
Chorus
Across the street, I see it nowMy family name on the front of townI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappearAcross the street, I see it clearAll those cold nights led me hereI hand out keys, let the work beginWhat I built for them won’t disappear
Outro
When I’m gone, let the doors stay openLet the lights stay on, let the names keep growingI stood on that curb, and I saw it trueA life can outlive the one who made it new
