Song Lyrics:

Came up from the bottom, where the shadows cast long, In the concrete jungle, where the weak get gone, Survival of the fittest, I’m the king of this throng, Hustle every night just to write my wrongs. Brick by brick, I built my name from the trenches, Grew up dodging bullets, hopping over them fences, Had to grind hard, stacking paper relentlessly, Never sold my soul, kept my heart defenseless. OGs taught me a game, how to flip that pack, Turn a dime to a dollar, make that green stack, Boys in blue on the prowl, gotta watch your back, But I’m slick like a fox, never falling in their trap. Life dealt me a hand, but I reshuffled the deck, I made it out of the gutter, now I’m earning respect, From the block to the stage, every verse I inject, Is a tale from the hood, with a lyrical flex. These streets are cold, but my heat stays warm, Eyes on the prize, middle finger to the norm, Came from the storm, now my hustle transforms, From a young buck hustlin' to a boss in rare form. Got scars on my soul, tattoos on my skin, Every line in my story shows where I’ve been, Lost brothers to the struggle, to the system, to sin, But I carry their legacy, won’t let it disappear Every rhyme I spit is a chapter of pain, But through the fire and rain, I’mma rise, I’mma gain, From the dirt to the fame, I’mma carve out my lane, Underground kingpin, remember my name. Seen my first body drop, I was only thirteen, In a world so mean, chasing that green, Had to learn quickly, navigate that scene, Enemies lurking, had to stay unseen. Mama prayed every night, tears in her eyes, Told me to be strong, reach for the skies, But the hood had a grip, pulling me in deep, Lost in the hustle, barely got sleep. On the corner pitching, rain or shine, Every nickel and dime, building my shrine, Dreams of a mansion, sipping on fine wine, But the grind doesn't stop, I’m committed to the climb. I made my own luck, didn’t wait for no chance, Had to fight for my spot, never just a glance, Turned my pain into power, lyrics enhanced, Now I spit raw truth, put the crowd in a trance.
