[Verse 1]
Left that hill, I buried me
Took a name they gave to me
Blue and black, I wore it proud
Ten deep walkin’, movin’ loud
Mall runs, yeah we filled the space
Everybody knew my face
Felt like somethin’, felt like home
First time I wasn’t alone
[Pre-Chorus]
They gave me more than I could steal
For the first time, it felt real
[Chorus]
Six points high, I held ‘em close
Love and life, that’s what I chose
Loyalty ran through my veins
Knowledge helped me numb the pain
Wisdom came but I let it slide
Understanding stayed outside
Felt like family, felt like truth
But I was losin’ more of me than I knew
[Verse 2]
Nights got loud, lines got thin
Bad decisions slid right in
Didn’t talk, didn’t slow down
Just kept runnin’ with the crowd
Red dirt kickin’ up behind my heels
Didn’t think twice, didn’t think at all
Just ran blind through the dark that night
Prayin’ I’d still be standin’ at dawn
Had a girl who saw through me
Got tired of what I’d be
I walked off, didn’t explain
Left her standin’ in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Said I’m good, said I’m fine
Didn’t see I crossed the line
[Chorus]
Six points high, I held ‘em tight
Turned my wrong into my right
Loyalty over everything
Even when it cost me things
Knowledge spoke, I tuned it out
Wisdom lost in all the doubt
Felt like family, felt like truth
But I was losin’ more of me than I knew
[Bridge]
All that love, all that pride
Couldn’t fix what broke inside
All that strength I tried to show
Was just a place I learned to go
[Final Chorus]
Six points high, but somethin’ slipped
Piece by piece, I started driftin’
All that family, all that name
Couldn’t pull me from the pain
Love and life still echo loud
But I got lost inside the crowd
Felt like home, I won’t lie
But it came with a darker side
