[Verse 1] Yo it's Hamdi young man on the grind Facing pressure every day tryna shine Livin' in a world where they judge by the skin But deep inside he got the fire to win [Verse 2] Walkin' through the storm with his head held high Dreams too big to just let them fly by Struggles and troubles make him tougher within Racism's a hurdle but he’s got thick skin [Chorus] Stand up shout loud break the chain Let the world know you’ve survived the pain Rise up strong don’t conform to the mold Hearts of gold can never be sold [Verse 3] Community whispers they say he’s too bold But Hamdi’s dreams are stories untold Pushing through barriers he’s ready to play In a world that’s black and white he’s making it grey [Bridge] Voices in his head say keep moving ahead Through the doubt and the fear no tears to be shed Determined soul with a fire that won’t die Underneath the prejudice he's ready to fly [Chorus] Stand up shout loud break the chain Let the world know you’ve survived the pain Rise up strong don’t conform to the mold Hearts of gold can never be sold
