[Intro]

[Verse]

(Hook)

I won’t let the bullets write my story,

I’m reaching for peace, not the glory,

Fear in my chest but I still rise,

Turnin’ all this pain to power in my life.

(Verse 1)

Sirens cryin’, another night gone cold,

Mothers on the block with a story untold,

We growin’ up fast where the shadows creep,

Tryna hold my dreams while the city don’t sleep.

They said hate breeds hate, it’s a cycle tight,

But I’m fightin’ for tomorrow in the dark of night,

Hands up, heart strong, can’t fold or break,

Buildin’ bridges where they told me just to guard the gate.

(Hook)

I won’t let the bullets write my story,

I’m reaching for peace, not the glory,

Fear in my chest but I still rise,

Turnin’ all this pain to power in my life.

(Verse 2)

Every scar on my skin, every tear I cried,

Is a lesson in the battle that I can’t deny,

But I choose to heal, not to pick up steel,

I got a vision for my people that’s too real to kill.

Love is louder than the rounds that ring,

Hope is heavier than the hate they bring,

We got voices, choices, futures to claim,

No more shackles, breakin’ out the chains.

(Bridge)

Fear tried to hold me, hate tried to mold me,

But I broke free, let the light console me,

Gun smoke fade, let the sunrise shine,

Peace in my hands, revolution in my mind.I won’t let the bullets write my story,

I’m reaching for peace, not the glory,

Fear in my chest but I still rise,

Turnin’ all this pain to power in my life.
