Narrow Road — DmitriiK

Текст песни

Yeah, came up where the bus runs late
Where the corner store knows your face

Mara keeps the ledger by the register bell
Two jobs, one coat, still she wishes me well
Third-floor radiator knocks through the night
I learned to read a room before I learned to write
Dre had a plan folded deep in his shoe
Said, “One clean chance—what you gonna do?”
We split a hot slice on the curb by the gate
Then watched that last bus pull off late
No silver spoon, no map in my hand
Just a name I was building, a line I would stand
If I said I’d be there, then I showed up early
Kept my word when the whole block turned blurry

We make a way from a narrow road
Keep both feet when the hard wind blows
No handout, no borrowed crown
We lift each other, we don’t back down
From the stoop to the dawn, let the whole block know
We make a way from a narrow road

Mama’s old key still hangs by the door
She says, “Don’t bring trouble back here no more”
So I count every cost, every favor, each debt
Keep a cool head when the day gets wet
Young blood wants fast, wants the whole thing now
I tell him slow is a skill, not a bow
There’s a night class open past the train yard
There’s a foreman who hires if you work that hard
We’ve buried our pride and we’ve swallowed the blame
Still the ones at my table remember my name
And if one gets through, then we all get a turn
That’s the kind of return no cash can earn

We make a way from a narrow road
Keep both feet when the hard wind blows
No handout, no borrowed crown
We lift each other, we don’t back down
From the stoop to the dawn, let the whole block know
We make a way from a narrow road

For the ones on the late shift, keys in their fist
For the kid with a notebook the world might have missed
For the door that stayed shut, for the call that came through
We’re still here, still building, still seeing it through

We make a way from a narrow road
Keep both feet when the hard wind blows
No handout, no borrowed crown
We lift each other, we don’t back down
From the stoop to the dawn, let the whole block know
We make a way from a narrow road

One step, then another—we carry the load
We make a way from a narrow road
