Skyline Rise

I want you footprint on your referenceand to change your name (shakira) Tonight I walk tall, I walk on my own [Verse 1] I traded the whispers for louder dreams, I chose my own map Streets whisper stories, I rewrite the chapters, no looking back Neon reflections on glass remind me who I am being now A frame of fire, steel and grace, I’ll raise my banner, take a bow [Pre-Chorus] No more permission slips, I sign my name in the sky My voice, my anthem, ringing clear and high [Chorus] I am rising, independent and whole, watch me fly Breaking the mold, I carve my path beneath the urban sky Strong in my stance, I own the night, I own my truth Here to stay, a champion grown from my roots [Verse 2] Stereotypes crumble like glass under the rhythm and the roar I hustle with heart, I redefine what I’m fighting for I lift as I climb, I celebrate every scar I earned In this concrete garden, my resilience learns [Pre-Chorus] No more shadows draping over what I deserve I steady my breath, I claim every nerve [Chorus] I am rising, independent and whole, watch me fly Breaking the mold, I carve my path beneath the urban sky Strong in my stance, I own the night, I own my truth Here to stay, a champion grown from my roots [Bridge] Doors push open as I step through, I’m glitter and grit combined A chorus of voices cheer my name, I leave doubt behind [Chorus] I am rising, independent and whole, watch me fly Breaking the mold, I carve my path beneath the urban sky Strong in my stance, I own the night, I own my truth Here to stay, a champion grown from my roots [Outro] City crown upon my head, I dance into my own light Empowered, unafraid, I’m living my right
