Blood Sweat & Hallelujahs

🎹 [Intro] [Spoken:] “We built this country with busted hands and stubborn hearts…” [Verse 1] Blue collar backbone built these roads Night shift workers still punching clocks Steel toe boots and a pressure-cooked soul Whole generation raised on survival mode Granddaddy fought wars Daddy fought debt Mama held the family down while the bills kept stepping Everybody out here carrying weight Still waking up trying to make something shake And yeah we loud Yeah we flawed But don’t mistake scars for weakness dog This land got blood in the concrete cracks That’s why the people bounce back like that [CHORUS] BLOOD SWEAT HALLELUJAHS WE STILL STANDING HERE TONIGHT THROUGH THE FIRE THROUGH THE STRUGGLE WE STILL REACHING FOR THE LIGHT OHHHHHHHHH WE AIN’T DONE YET [Verse 2] From the factories to the city blocks Farm towns to them corner spots Everybody grinding under pressure cooker skies Still trying to keep dreams alive Seen immigrants build from absolutely nothing Seen soldiers come home still emotionally suffering Seen single moms move mountains quietly That’s strength ain’t nobody teaching properly And every summer night these fireworks fly For the ones still here and the ones that died Cause freedom hit different when sacrifice real Not hashtags and fake internet feels [CHORUS] BLOOD SWEAT HALLELUJAHS… [Choir Bridge] “WE STILL RISE WE STILL FIGHT WE STILL BELIEVE…” [FINAL SECTION] FAST RAP OVER CHOIR: AIN’T PERFECT BUT WE BUILT THIS AIN’T BROKE YET STILL MOVING AIN’T DEAD YET STILL DREAMING AIN’T FALLING WE STILL BREATHING [FINAL CHORUS] BLOOD SWEAT HALLELUJAHS LOOK HOW FAR WE CAME THROUGH THE DARKNESS ONE HEART ONE NIGHT ONE COUNTRY STILL SURVIVING 🎹 [Outro] “…hallelujah…”
