[Verse 1]
I was raised on shut up
Taught to swallow the storm
Smile in a black suit
Bleeding under the form
Mama said “pray soft”
Streets said “talk loud”
So I learned to cry quiet
While I fought for the crown
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar on my chest got a name
Every friend in the ground like a flame
I been dancing on glass in the rain
Still I rise, still I rise through the pain (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle
[Verse 2]
They said “toughen up, boy
Hide the tremor in your hands”
So I wrapped my hurt in hustle
Built a kingdom out of sand
Had to rage for my life
Every night, every fight, every slight
Spit truth so sharp
Cut the chains off my mind mid-flight (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the fear in my throat sound thin
Every “never” they spoke wearing thin
Got my back to the wall, but I grin
I was carved by the loss, not the win (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle
[Bridge]
[Choir rises, distant, then close]
Let ’em talk, let ’em doubt, let ’em throw that shade
I was built from the bruise, from the debt unpaid
Every tear that I hid is a war I won
Every “you ain’t enough” just a loaded gun
Now I bite that fear, spit steel, spit flame
Drop weight from my back when I say my name
If my pain is a price, then I overpaid
So I cash that hurt in a brighter day (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle (yeah)
