From The Block 2 The Light (TCTK)

Came up on them corners where the nights stay cold,  
Pocket full of dreams, all them grams turned gold.  
Mama used to pray I’d find a safer road,  
But I was chasing paper, couldn’t see the load.  

Fast life, hand-to-hand, every move, no cap,  
Youngin’ in the system, lost deep in the trap.  
Didn’t see no future past a brick or a strap,  
Till them steel doors closed, had me face all that.  


Now I’m lookin’ in the mirror, tryin’ to see my worth,  
Found peace in the pain, new meaning on this earth.  
From the block to the light, had to rise from the dirt,  
Now I’m speakin’ truth for my seeds, not the work.  


Prison gave me time, made the clock talk loud,  
Reflections turn lessons, head down, no crowd.  
Wrote a letter to my daughter, said “I’m changin’ right now,”  
Gon’ show you love’s power, not the streets’ foul sound.  

Books in the cell, mind breakin’ them chains,  
Grew a king out the ashes, wisdom from pain.  
They said once a dealer, always stuck in that lane,  
But I’m showin’ them lil’ homies, you can flip that game.  

 
Now I’m lookin’ in the mirror, tryin’ to see my worth,  
Found peace in the pain, new meaning on this earth.  
From the block to the light, had to rise from the dirt,  
Now I’m speakin’ truth for my seeds, not the work.  

  
Now when my kids see me, they see strength, not shame,  
Used the fire to refine, not to feed the flame.  
From the shadows to the sun, I rewrote my name,  
I ain’t hustlin’ no more I’m buildin’ my lane.
