[Intro]
Yeah, uh
On the block, life’s a ride,
We’ll never let it slide,
Survival of the fittest,
Keep that fire ignited,
[Verse 1]
See I’m raised in the struggles, where the shadows creep,
Hard lessons taught, and the memories seep,
From the concrete jungle where dreams can decay,
We hustle for the future, but we grind in the day.
Watch the serpents hiss, in the garden of my thoughts,
I’m dodging all the pitfalls that the world has got,
Got my mind on my vision, I’m breaking the chains,
From the corners of the city where the hunger remains.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, “You can’t, you won’t,” but I’m here to prove,
With every step I take, I’m in tune with the groove.
Rising from the ashes, I’m the phoenix in flight,
Words are my weapon, and I’m ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Keep your head up, never back down,
In this life, we wear our crowns,
Through the struggle and the pain,
We rise up, again and again,
Yeah, we shine like diamonds, through the dark, we ignite,
Voices in the margin, we’ll be heard, it’s our right.
[Verse 2]
Got the weight on my shoulders, but I carry it proud,
Speaking truth to power, I’ll shout it loud,
Paint the picture vividly, in colors robust,
We’re the voice of the people, in unity we trust.
Breaking through the silence, like thunder in the sky,
Listening to the echoes of those who’ve come by,
Galvanized for justice, we’re taking a stand,
History in the making, united we’ll expand.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, “You can’t, you won’t,” but I’m here to prove,
With every step I take, I’m in tune with the groove.
Rising from the ashes, I’m the phoenix in flight,
Words are my weapon, and I’m ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Keep your head up, never back down,
In this life, we wear our crowns,
Through the struggle and the pain,
We rise up, again and again,
Yeah, we shine like diamonds, through the dark, we ignite,
Voices in the margin, we’ll be heard, it’s our right.
[Bridge]
Yeah, it’s more than survival, it’s a message we send,
Through the trials and tribulations, we’ll never bend,
Empower the lost souls, lift ‘em high, give ‘em hope,
Forging legacies together, united, we cope.
[Outro]
So carry this flame, keep the dream alive,
In the heart of the struggle, we learn to thrive,
We’ll rewrite the story, pave our own way,
With voices of a generation that’s here to stay.
