[Intro]
Waking up, dreams heavy, mind steady thinking
Stuck between the streets and the melodies I'm linking
Hustlin’ on these blocks and on this beat I'm sinking
Hoping someday I’ll make the difference I’m seeking
[Verse 1]
Everyday I wonder if I can switch the flow
From the trap to the stage, let my real dreams show
Tired of thuggin' in these streets, feeling low
Wish I could hustle this music, let the whole world know
Living in the struggle, bills stack to the ceiling
Heart torn in two, life ain’t got no feeling
Can’t help my sis or myself, we just trying to survive
Counting every dollar, trying to stay alive
Phone ringing non-stop, hours at work, tireless
Dreaming of the studio, making hits that are priceless
Miss my fallen brothers, forever in my thoughts
Black and Murda, Big homies, lessons that I was taught
Listening to the beats, wishing I was in the booth
Instead of living proof that the streets might be ruthless
Hoping for a break, waiting for the right moment
When the jump out boys gonna book me or when I’mGolden
Trying to find a spark, rapping instead of 10 toes
This life got me trapped, but my passion still shows
[Pre-Chorus]
Hustling in my mind, dreaming of a different life
Battling my demons, through the struggle and the strife
Feeling torn between the street and my music
Praying for a sign, seeking my soul’s true purpose
[Chorus]
From the hood to the stage, I’m trying to make it out
Living every day with a silent shout
Hoping for a break, chasing my dreams
Gotta find a way, to break these chains
[Bridge]
Standing at the crossroads, unsure which way to go
Heart heavy with the pain, but still I gotta grow
Music is my escape, my only give and take
Fighting for my future, for my own sake
[Outro]
One day I’ll rise above the struggle and the pain
Turn my lyrics into change, break free from the game
Living in hope, pushing through the woes
This is my story, this is how it goes
