Yeah, from the block where we hustle, ain't no time to play
Young kid with a dream, tryna find my way Seen the struggle in the eyes of my kinfolk
Hard times but we rise, never been broke Mama's tears, papa's fears held me tight
In the darkness, I was searching for the light From the slums to the stars, it's a long flight
But I'm climbing every day, reaching new heights
Life's a journey, gotta keep on growing Through the pain and the rain, gotta keep on going
From the ashes we rise, let the truth be told
Every step that I take, got a heart of gold
In the trials and the tears, find the strength inside
Every fall, every climb, it's a wild ride Through the darkness and the light, let your
Spirit show On this path of life, we all gotta grow
In the streets, learned the game, had to play it smart
Dodging bullets, dodging fakes, had to guard my heart
From the bottom where the shadows never leave you
To the top where the dreams never deceive you
Made mistakes, paid the price, learned my lesson
In the struggle, found my strength, it's a blessing
Now I stand a man with the vision, crystal clear
Every hardship, every tear brought me here
Life's a journey, gotta keep on growing Through the pain and the rain, gotta keep on going
From the ashes we rise, let the truth be told
Every step that I take, got a heart of gold
In the trials and the tears, find the strength inside
Every fall, every climb, it's a wild ride Through the darkness and the light, let your
Spirit show On this path of life, we all gotta grow
Now I give back, showing love to the youth In the hustle found my voice, speaking truth
From the corner where I stood, to the stage lights
Telling stories of the struggle, of the brave fights
Every scar on my soul, every broken dream Built the man that I am, part of the team
Rise above, show the world what I'm made of In the end, it's all about the love
Life's a journey, gotta keep on growing Through the pain and the rain, gotta keep on going
From the ashes we rise, let the truth be told
Every step that I take, got a heart of gold
In the trials and the tears, find the strength inside
Every fall, every climb, it's a wild ride Through the darkness and the light, let your
Spirit show On this path of life, we all gotta grow
In the mirror, see the past, where I came from Every wound, every scar, where the pain's from
I ain't run, stood tall, faced the demons Kept my faith held strong to my reasons
In the nights when the world felt so cold In the fire found strength made of gold
Grew wise from the lies and the deceit Now I rise every step, never face defeat
Life's a journey, gotta keep on growing Through the pain and the rain, gotta keep on going
From the ashes we rise, let the truth be told
Every step that I take, got a heart of gold
In the trials and the tears, find the strength inside
Every fall, every climb, it's a wild ride Through the darkness and the light, let your
Spirit show On this path of life, we all gotta grow
Now I see the future bright like the sunrise No more tears, only dreams in my son's eyes
Teach him lessons from the roads that I walked Every struggle, every time that I've fought
Legacy ain't in riches, it's in love and pride In the family and the truth, where the real reside
So I keep pushing forward, never looking back On this path, we never falling off the right track
