Title:
“One Beat at a Time”
Full Song Lyrics:
(VERSE 1)
[C]I’m just a drummer, [Am]beating my own drum,
[F]Lost in the rhythm, [G]where my freedom comes.
[C]Striving for stardom, [Am]through the underground,
[F]A beat for the broken, [G]a voice for the unfound.
(CHORUS)
[C]One beat at a time, [Am]we’re making our climb,
[F]With every rhyme, [G]we’re crossing the line.
[C]Through chaos and grime, [Am]we’re creating prime,
[F]One beat at a time, [G]one beat at a time.
(VERSE 2)
[C]In the crowded city, [Am]our music flows,
[F]Like a hidden river, [G]where no one else goes.
[C]Strumming the stories, [Am]of the silent screams,
[F]Echoing our glories, [G]in the city of dreams.
(CHORUS)
[C]One beat at a time, [Am]we’re making our climb,
[F]With every rhyme, [G]we’re crossing the line.
[C]Through chaos and grime, [Am]we’re creating prime,
[F]One beat at a time, [G]one beat at a time.
(BRIDGE)
[C]Here in the spotlight, [Am]we’re not alone,
[F]With each beat, [G]we’re carving our own throne.
[C]In the heart of the night, [Am]our music has grown,
[F]One beat at a time, [G]we’ve found our own tone.
(CHORUS)
[C]One beat at a time, [Am]we’re making our climb,
[F]With every rhyme, [G]we’re crossing the line.
[C]Through chaos and grime, [Am]we’re creating prime,
[F]One beat at a time, [G]one beat at a time.
