Rémi Du Chemin - Emergency Room Lyrics

[Intro]
Power's out, first breath in darkness
Born in chaos, emergency harshness

[Verse 1]
Came into this world when the lights went dim
Heart monitor flatlining but I wasn't giving in
Mama's screams echoing off sterile walls
While racist docs acted like they missed their calls
Born in blackness, how fitting for my story
In the shadows where they try to ignore me

[Chorus]
Emergency Room, where my life began
System failure couldn't stop this brown-skinned man
Emergency Room, power outage night
Turned darkness to my strength, now I'm burning bright

[Verse 2]
Grandma Fatima told me 'bout resistance
How our people kept their souls with persistence
Dad stood tall when they tried to break him down
Now I carry that strength all around this town
Machines might fail but we keep on breathing
Through the static and the hate they're feeding

[Bridge]
Mon corps, mon histoire, my body, my tale
Born in crisis but I refuse to fail
They thought the darkness would make us afraid
But that's where we learned how to light our way

[Outro]
Emergency Room, where I found my might
Born in shadows, now I'm burning bright
Power outage couldn't dim my soul
From breakdown to breakthrough, that's how we roll
