Lyrics
Intro (spoken / half-sung)
Yeah
They told me who I’d never be
So I became everything they feared
Verse 1
We were broke with our dreams in a backpack
Cold nights, concrete under snapbacks
Heart too loud for a quiet life
Learned how to smile in the hardest times
Mama praying while the rent was late
I was chasing hope, yeah I couldn’t wait
Every “no” carved into my skin
But I swear that pain taught me how to win
Pre-Chorus
They said “slow down, you’re outta line”
But I saw gold in the darkest nights
Every scar just drew my map
I fell so hard but I bounced right back
Chorus
We were stars without a sky
Kings with no crown
Too loud for the silence
Too real for this town
Now we scream our freedom
Till the whole world hears
We were nothing once
Now we’re standing right here
Post-Chorus (chanty / hook)
Oh-oh-oh
We don’t hide, we don’t run
Oh-oh-oh
This is what we’ve become
Verse 2
Lost some friends on the way up
Funny how the truth makes fake ones give up
Same streets but a different view
Same scars, yeah they still feel new
Had nights where I almost quit
Hands shaking but I still wrote hits
If belief was a crime, I’d do time
‘Cause I bet my life on this dream of mine
Pre-Chorus 2
When the lights go out, I stay
Middle fingers up to yesterday
Heart on fire, soul exposed
Still scared — but I chose hope
Chorus
We were stars without a sky
Kings with no crown
Too loud for the silence
Too real for this town
Now we scream our freedom
Till the whole world hears
We were nothing once
Now we’re standing right here
Bridge (emotional, stripped)
Maybe I fall tomorrow
But tonight I fly
I carry my demons
And still look at the sky
If everything breaks
One thing stays true
This fire inside me
Always pulls me through
Breakdown (beat drops, vocal raw & raspy)
I was made from pressure
Built from pain
Every tear, every loss
Still runs in my veins
Say my name when I’m gone
Say I tried
I was a star with no sky
Still I shined
Final Chorus (BIG, stadium)
We were stars without a sky
Now we light the night
No fear of the fall
Yeah we’re born to rise
From the dirt, from the doubt
From the scars and the fights
We were stars without a sky
Now we own the light
Outro
Yeah
From nothing to everything
We made it out
