lirik lagu james cook - section 8 soul
section 8 soul”
spoken intro:
sound of a distant train rumbling, faint city noises in the background
she walks past boarded~up rowhouses
timbs laced tight, hoodie pulled low
headphones on, jill scott in her ears
trying to drown out the city and 18 years of fears
the block knows her face, but not her mind
they see a pretty brown girl — not the grind
she ain’t in the mix, she just tryna grow
a north philly rose where nothing should grow
but she blooms anyway
she blooms anyway
sound of a soft breeze, a distant siren fades
~~~
verse 1:
she wakes up to sirens and baby cries
ashy streets and dollar fries
mama working doublеs, rent ain’t paid
but she walks like hеr pain got saved
boarded~up windows, but her dreams are clear
in the shadow of hardship, she has no fear
timbs on the pavement, headphones in place
she walks with purpose, a steady pace
~~~
chorus:
she got that section 8 soul
raised on prayers and centerfolds
where the rent’s late but the love stays gold
and pain taught her things that the school never told
she don’t break, she bends and flows
like roots in the cracks where the flowers don’t grow
yeah, she shines through the struggle, made of fire and hope —
that’s my section 8 soul
~~~
verse 2:
she steps over cracks in the sidewalk
each one a story, each one a talk
mama’s prayers echo in her stride
in the heart of the struggle, she won’t hide
boarded~up windows, but her dreams are clear
in the shadow of hardship, she has no fear
timbs on the pavement, headphones in place
she walks with purpose, a steady pace
~~~
bridge:
she ain’t looking for a savior
just someone who sees her flavor
a queen in the making
no time for faking
she don’t need no validation
just her own affirmation
in the hustle and grind
she finds her own salvation
~~~
chorus (reprise):
she got that section 8 soul
raised on prayers and centerfolds
where the rent’s late but the love stays gold
and pain taught her things that the school never told
she don’t break, she bends and flows
like roots in the cracks where the flowers don’t grow
yeah, she shines through the struggle, made of fire and hope —
that’s my section 8 soul
~~~
outro:
sound of a distant train rumbling, faint city noises in the background
she walks past boarded~up rowhouses
timbs laced tight, hoodie pulled low
headphones on, jill scott in her ears
trying to drown out the city and 18 years of fears
but she blooms anyway
she blooms anyway
