letra de portland is gold - kxllinme

[verse 1]
grew up in estacada where the sky stayed clear
but my heart beat loud for the city out near
me and my sister, friday flights to town
cracked speakers, cracked jokes, cracked dreams goin’ round

eighteen with a flask and a busted phone
didn’t care ‘bout nothin’ but not bein’ alone
oboy in the backseat, sayin’ “play that again,”
we was broke as the ave but rich in pretend

we hit parties off dek-m like we owned the night
carpet stained floors under beer can lights
didn’t know namеs—didn’t need no plans
just a house full of strangers and unshaken hands

and thе music? man…
it wasn’t just sound—it was purpose in disguise
i found church in the bass, got baptized in the highs
no fights, just fire. no fame, just feeling
portland was gold when the world needed healing

[hook]
portland was gold before the rust came in
before the tents lined blocks where the joy had been
we were young, we were wild, we were high on trust—
now the same streets feel cold and crushed
i still love her, yeah, but it hurts like h-ll
watchin’ beauty fade into somethin’ i can’t tell
she raised me, she changed me, now i barely relate—
portland was gold… now she look like fate

[verse 2 ]
we found studios down side streets that breathed
creaky-ass doors like they whispered “believe.”
didn’t rap then, just a fly on the wall
but those nights lit a fuse that still burns through it all

i watched kids with nothin’ make gold outta pain
watched ‘em spill their soul like it rained cocaine
i wasn’t ready—but the city was patient
let me soak it all in from a cracked foundation

there was beauty in the grime, rhythm in the wreck
every bassline hug felt like fightin’ back death
that was when the mic was a lifeline rope
and i learned how to write when i ran outta hope

now i’m older, quiet, ——— haze
same streets call—but they lost that praise
i still hear echoes from the bas-m-nts past
but the beats sound thinner and the joy don’t last

[bridge]
back then, even chaos had rhythm and heart
now it feel like we all just fallin’ apart
portland don’t sing, she just whispers in rust
and you can’t buy love here—you can barely trust

she was wild and warm, now she’s bruised and closed
but i still trace the cracks where her stories froze
she ain’t the same—but neither am i
still, i look at her skyline and wanna cry

[verse 3]
now it’s boarded-up windows and bleach in the breeze
the same streets i loved now drop to their knees
plywood smiles where the storefronts grin
and the rats run bold like they payin’ rent in

graveyard shifts still echo in my chest, i don’t really rest
the register hum still haunts my dreams
same beep, same buzz, same f-cked-up screams

i see camps on the curb, tents stiff with mold
people blink slow like their hearts went cold
sky still orange from the smoke and the sin
and the city’s got cracks i can’t fix from within
you walk past the pain like it’s background noise
‘til it talks in a voice that sound just like yours
used to be magic, now it’s pills and rust
and the hope on these blocks turned to ash and dust

but i still show love—i just love with a limp
like someone who fell off a roof and won’t flinch
this city raised me with one hand in fire
taught me beauty burns when you feed it to liars

[hook]
portland was gold before the rust came in
before the tents lined blocks where the joy had been
we were young, we were wild, we were high on trust—
now the same streets feel cold and crushed

i still love her, yeah, but it hurts like h-ll
watchin’ beauty fade into somethin’ i can’t tell
she raised me, she changed me, now i barely relate—
portland was gold… now she look like fate

[outro]
i don’t hate her
i just miss what she was
i miss who we were—
when the lights felt like magic
and the nights felt like home
