[Verse 1] Born with a name in my mouth Not a map for the road I seen the crowd go south So I learned my own code They want me folded up neat Like a box on a shelf But I got heat in my feet And a fight in myself [Pre-Chorus] Surround me, dude With the light I been walking through smoke Now I want my sight Surround me, dude I’m ready to rise I got a storm in my chest And a sky in my eyes [Chorus] Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I’m gonna move with it Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I gotta choose the same Surround me, dude With the light (light light light) Surround me, dude I’m gonna fight for what is right [Verse 2] Uncle said, “Boy, keep quiet” Mama said, “Watch your tone” But silence turns to a riot When the truth gets known I seen men wear their fear Like a chain on their neck I’d rather stand in the clear And take one hard step [Pre-Chorus] Surround me, dude With the light I can feel my heart Turning steel tonight Surround me, dude Let it burn clean I was born in the noise But I live for the beam [Chorus] Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I’m gonna move with it Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I gotta choose the same Surround me, dude (dude) Wi with the light (light light light) Surround me, dude I’m gonna fight for what is right [Bridge] If the ground shakes hard I won’t break If the voice gets low I still wake I can hear that ghost Say “stay small” But I’m done being shaped By a broken wall [Final Chorus] Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I’m gonna move with it Just because I was born into it Don’t mean I gotta choose the same Surround me, dude (dude) With the light (light light light) Surround me, dude (dude) I’m gonna fight for what is right Surround me, dude I’m coming through Surround me, dude I’m coming through Through through through through
