[Intro – Melodic Flow, A Boogie vibe]
Heard them goofy ones tryna line me (line me)
They don’t want smoke with us (nah)
Had to pop an Addy, zone in, focus up
From the mud, no luck, just the Lord above
Still dreamin’ in a world that don’t show no love
⸻
[Verse 1 – Melodic + Pain, A Boogie/Sleepy blend]
Late nights, 4 minute convo turn to lifetime scars
Told her all my secrets, now they sittin’ in jars
Broken trust, heavy heart, but my mind still sharp
I been fightin’ off demons in the light and the dark
Purple rain in my cup, got my feelings in flood
Got a halo over horns, mix of angel and thug
If I die young, tell ‘em bury me deep in my hood
Where they taught me how to make somethin’ outta nothin’ for good
⸻
[Hook – Anthemic, Lil Baby energy]
Merch madness, I took it global (global)
From the block to the stage, yeah, we noble (noble)
Made these millions for the kids, had to show ‘em
That the dirt on your shoes don’t define where you goin’
My daddy underground, mama still independent
I ain’t never had a handout, only hands I was lendin’
Every scar that I got is a badge I defended
Turn the pain into product, that’s the game I invented
⸻
[Verse 2 – Sleepy Hallow tone, eerie yet sharp]
They say gloomy conclusions, but I’m writin’ new chapters
Used to chase fast money, now I’m after what matters
In the mirror see a king, but my shadow look shattered
Couple snakes in my grass, had to watch where I’m steppin’
Tryna build a legacy, not just countin’ my blessings
Every L turned lesson, every doubt got tested
Took a bullet to my dream but my vision’s still vested
If the reaper at the door, tell him “hold up, I’m busy”
Got a future to secure before the streets come and get me
⸻
[Bridge – Emotional Climb, A Boogie melody]
Yeah, I been in the storm so long, the rain feel warm now
Lost friends to the game, can’t call they phone now
Mama said, “boy, don’t lose your soul for the gold crown”
But it’s hard when the hunger in your chest just won’t calm down
⸻
[Hook – Full Energy, Lil Baby drive]
Merch madness, I took it global (global)
From the block to the stage, yeah, we noble (noble)
Made these millions for the kids, had to show ‘em
That the dirt on your shoes don’t define where you goin’
My daddy underground, mama still independent
I ain’t never had a handout, only hands I was lendin’
Every scar that I got is a badge I defended
Turn the pain into product, that’s the game I invented
⸻
[Outro – Sleepy Hallow reflective]
So if it’s gloomy at the end, I still light my own sky
Every loss that I took made me learn how to fly
Can’t be scared of the dark when you born in the night
I’m just writin’ my story, hope the ink don’t dry
