She was walking in
The street looked up and noticed
He was nameless
He was homeless
She asked him his name and
Told him what hers was
He gave her a story 'bout life
With a glint in his eye
And a corner of a smile
One conversation
A simple moment
The things that change us
If we notice
When we look up sometimes
They said I would never make it
But I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been
Chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the hustlers
Trading at the bus stop
Single mothers
Waiting on a check to come
Young teachers student doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping
At what you love
You'll find that someday
Soon enough
You will rise up rise up yeah
She's riding in a taxi
Back to the kitchen
Talking to the driver
About his children and wife
The first responder
Risking his life
To give the love
And got there on time
She looked in his eyes
In the mirror and he smiled
One conversation
A single moment
The things that change us
If we notice
When we look up sometimes
They said I would never make it
But I was built
To break the mold
The only dream
That I've been chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the hustlers
Trading at the bus stop
Single mothers
Waiting on a check to come
Young teachers student doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping
At what you love
You'll find that someday
Soon enough
You will rise up rise up yeah
You gonna rise up
You gonna make it
You gonna rise up
I sing a song for the hustlers
Single mothers
Young teachers students doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on
Keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday
Soon enough
You will rise up rise up yeah
