I come from the streets, where the struggle is real
Got scars on my skin, and pain that I feel
Raised in the hood, where the guns go pop pop
But I keep pushing through, ain't never gonna stop
My mama worked hard just to keep us fed
My daddy was gone, left us feeling dead
But I rise above, like a phoenix from the flame
I'll make it big, and I'll make a name
This is my life, this is my story
Through the pain and the glory (Oh, oh)
I'll rise above, never looking back
I'm on the right track, ain't no stopping that
This is my life, this is my story
Through the pain and the glory (Oh, oh)
I'll rise above, never looking back
I'm on the right track, ain't no stopping that
I've been through the fire, seen death up close
Lost friends to the streets, and they haunt me like ghosts
But I keep moving forward, with my head held high
Gotta make it out, reach for the sky
I spit these rhymes, they come straight from the soul
Tell my life story, let the truth unfold
I'll never back down, I'll never retreat
I'm the king of this game, I'm the one they'll all meet
This is my life, this is my story
Through the pain and the glory (Oh, oh)
I'll rise above, never looking back
I'm on the right track, ain't no stopping that
This is my life, this is my story
Through the pain and the glory (Oh, oh)
I'll rise above, never looking back
I'm on the right track, ain't no stopping that
This is my life, this is my story
Through the pain and the glory (Oh, oh)
I'll rise above, never looking back
I'm on the right track, ain't no stopping that
