Lyrics
[verse]
Started downtown with a beat-up crate of tapes
Counted every dollar, sketched the future on the wall
Now the block remembers, now the corner celebrates
Built a name from nothing, watched the empire rise and stand tall
[chorus]
Ride out, ride out, we came up from the ground
Ride out, ride out, we turned the whole thing around
Ride out, ride out, hear the trumpets in the sound
Ride out, ride out, king of my own hometown
[verse]
They said the game was closing, said the door was shut for good
I kicked it open wider, brought my whole crew where I stood
Every hater turned admirer once they saw the paper stack
Every skeptic turned believer when they heard the tracks come back
[chorus]
Ride out, ride out, we came up from the ground
Ride out, ride out, we turned the whole thing around
Ride out, ride out, hear the trumpets in the sound
Ride out, ride out, king of my own hometown
[bridge]
Look at the skyline, look what we made
From a folding chair to a throne we laid
No shortcuts taken, no favors owed
Just grit and vision on a long dark road
[chorus]
Ride out, ride out, we came up from the ground
Ride out, ride out, we turned the whole thing around
Ride out, ride out, hear the trumpets in the sound
Ride out, ride out, king of my own hometown
