DJ Ran-Man - Crescent's Shadow Lyrics

She's been through hell and she'll take you there
Wears the storm like a coat on the devil's glare
She ain't no saint but she don't pretend
She'll drag you under and call you friend
Her streets are cracked but they carry a tune
A song of the lost under the same old moon
Brick by brick she holds herself tight
Even when the levees broke that night
She'll steal your breath and cut you raw
But there's something 'bout her that drops your jaw
Crescent's shadow tough as nails
Hides her pride where the river sails
She'll break your back but you won't let go
There's fire in her veins and you feel the glow
Every corner's got a story most end in tears
But there's laughter too fighting off the fears
She's a rotting porch where the kids still play
A rusty car running every day
She smells like the river dirty and mean
But there's gold in her soul and it still gleams
Crescent's shadow dark and deep
A place for the broken a place to weep
She'll drag you down but you'll stand tall
Because no one leaves without giving it all
She ain't polished she ain't clean
She's a hurricane wrapped in a dream
She don't care if you stay or leave
She's seen it all got nothing to grieve
But if you give her your heart she'll take it all
Burn it down and call it soul
She feeds the hungry with what she's got
A little bit of nothing served steaming hot
The neon signs blink over busted glass
While brass bands play like the world won't last
Her people are tired her streets are rough
But somehow they keep saying We're enough
Crescent's shadow tough as steel
Cuts you deep but it's a wound that heals
She'll keep your secrets she'll keep your pain
And you'll keep coming back again and again
She's a place for sinners a place for saints
A city of scars and peeling paint
You thought you'd leave but you'll never part
She's burned her name into your heart
