[Intro]
City lights breathe in a slow, tired glow
[Verse 1]
Cash gets confiscated in the blue neon night,
Real friends ride shotgun, keep the faith in sight.
From Bay St. Louis whispers to the NOLA lights,
We chase a heartbeat through the scratches of life.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold tight, the anthem wants to rise
[Chorus]
Money ain't the map of who we are,
We write our names in the scars and stars.
Bass from the club drags us through the rain,
We stand with the friends who keep us from the edge again.
[Verse 2]
DJ trouble spinning, the night can’t catch its breath,
What is a good dude when the cash is just a theft?
John Lennon’s dream on a bassline in the air,
We dance till the morning finds us standing there.
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the trouble pass, let the rhythm spell it out
[Chorus]
Money ain't the map of who we are,
We write our names in the scars and stars.
Bass from the club keeps the night alive,
With friends beside us, we survive and thrive.
[Bridge]
Watch the horizon as the names dissolve in glow,
The city keeps our secrets in a quiet woe.
[Chorus]
Money ain't the map of who we are,
We write our names in the scars and stars.
Bass from the club drags us through the night,
With friends beside us, we keep the fire bright.
[Outro]
Morning light, we start again, hands open wide
