Growing up in the streets, had to hustle just to eat
Mama working late shifts, couldn't afford new kicks on my feet
Daddy in and out of jail, always caught up in some beef
But I kept my head up high, don't let the struggle defeat
Learning lessons on the block, dodging cops and them fiends
Saw friends overdose, saw dreams turn to screams
But I stayed focused on my flow, chasing all my big schemes
Turning pain into power, turning nightmares into dreams
Life's a wild ride, gotta keep on moving with pride
From the lows to the highs, gotta take it all in stride
Keep pushing through the struggles, keep reaching for the prize
In this game of life, gotta stay true to the grind
Life's a wild ride, gotta keep on moving with pride
From the lows to the highs, gotta take it all in stride
Keep pushing through the struggles, keep reaching for the prize
In this game of life, gotta stay true to the grind
