[Verse 1]
Scuffed-up Vans on the front row rail
Name on the wristband, ink gone pale
Late bus home, got a busted phone
Still feel rich when the beat hits bone
Holes in my jeans and a stubborn grin
Hand-me-down dreams with the tag still in
Mom said “work,” world said “fold”
I hit record, turned gravel to gold
[Chorus]
I came from gravel, now it’s gold in my teeth
Every setback just a drum under my feet
They weighed me down, I made a crown from the weight
I don’t break
I don’t break
I bend the bars, then I walk out the gate
[Verse 2]
Lunch-line king with the last in tray
Flip those jokes till they pay my way
Laugh through the landlord, late again
Still sound rich through a secondhand pen
Talk that talk but I walk it too
Blisters on heel and a skyview crew
No stage lights, just a bedroom glow
But the whole block shakes when the speakers blow (hey!)
[Chorus]
I came from gravel, now it’s gold in my teeth
Every setback just a drum under my feet
They weighed me down, I made a crown from the weight
I don’t break
I don’t break
I bend the bars, then I walk out the gate
[Bridge]
Yeah I grew up on the wrong side of maybe
Hand-me-down hope, hand-brushed “you’re crazy”
Still I stood tall in the hard rain, raging
Turned my own scars into armor I’m waving
[Chorus]
I came from gravel, now it’s gold in my teeth
Every setback just a drum under my feet
They weighed me down, I made a crown from the weight
I don’t break
I don’t break
I bend the bars, then I walk out the gate
Scuffed-up Vans on the front row rail
Name on the wristband, ink gone pale
Late bus home, got a busted phone
Still feel rich when the beat hits bone
Holes in my jeans and a stubborn grin
Hand-me-down dreams with the tag still in
Mom said “work,” world said “fold”
I hit record, turned gravel to gold
[Chorus]
I came from gravel, now it’s gold in my teeth
Every setback just a drum under my feet
They weighed me down, I made a crown from the weight
I don’t break
I don’t break
I bend the bars, then I walk out the gate
[Verse 2]
Lunch-line king with the last in tray

Laugh through the landlord, late again
Still sound rich through a secondhand pen
