Reach For Heaven

Hands up! Hey, hey, hey. Scars out. Hey, hey, hey. Teeth grit. Hey, hey. We don’t bow. Hey, hey. Hands up! Scars out. Teeth grit. We don’t bow. Clock in, rust air in my lungs, steel-toe dreams, Black tape on my thumbs. Late rent, landlord on My neck, mom prayin’ over plates, countin’ every Last check. Cold floor, got hope in a jar, Loose change tryna fuel a burned-out car. They said, “Kid, you’re a glitch, you’re a lost Case.” I turned every locked door to a court Date. Reach for heaven, With my hands still dirty. Knuckles cracked, But my aim stays sturdy. The sky don’t open, we’re kickin’ in the gates. If the saints look down, they gon’ learn my Name. Reach, reach, Reach for heaven in a concrete jungle. If the angels silent, then we make ‘em rumble. Got pain in my chest and fire in my Breath. Reach for heaven ‘til there’s nothin’ left. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Grind mode, I was raised on the night shift. Rain through the roof, hit the stove for a Light fix. Cheap food, but the hunger was priceless. Turned every cheap shot into prime hits. Whole crew tattooed with the hard years. Eyes red, but we cuttin’ through the dark fear. They said, “Stay in your lane, you a lost Kid.” I said, “Line up the lanes, I’ll exhaust Them.” Reach for heaven, with my hands still dirty. Knuckles cracked, But my aim stays sturdy. If the sky don’t open, we’re kickin’ in the Gates. If the saints look down, they gon’ learn My name. Reach, reach, Reach for heaven in a concrete jungle. If the angels silent, then we make ‘em rumble. Got pain in my chest and fire in my Breath. Reach for heaven ‘til there’s nothin’ left. They don’t see what I drag up the stairs. Every step another fight, another prayer. If the world won’t lift me, fine, I’ll climb. If the rope burns skin, That’s a sign I’m alive. Keep climbin’, keep climbin’. Reach for heaven, With my hands still dirty. Knuckles cracked, But my aim stays sturdy. If the sky don’t open, we’re kickin’ in the Gates. If the saints look down, They gon’ learn my name. Reach, reach, Reach for heaven in a concrete jungle. If the angels silent, then we make ‘em rumble. Got pain in my chest and fire in my Breath. Reach for heaven ‘til my last breath left. Reach. Hands up!
