Raised For This

(Verse 1)

Woke up in a world I wasn’t born in,

But I carry all the stories of my origins.

Mama said, “Mijo, life don’t come easy—

But you’re built strong, don’t let the weight beat me.”

Working double shifts just to keep the lights on,

Dreaming in a language I was raised to fight on.

Every step feels heavy, but my heartbeat stays steady,

’Cause I know where I come from… and I know I’m ready.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every doubt tryna pull me down,

But I rise back up, can’t keep me on the ground.

I remember all the things my father used to say—

“You were made for storms, mijo, never run away.”

(Chorus)

I push through the struggle like I was raised for this,

Carry my people’s fire in every breath I take.

Yeah, I rise from the ashes, turn the pain to bliss—

A Mexican heart that nobody can break.

I’m climbing, I’m fighting,

I’m shining through the darkest hits—

’Cause I push through the struggle

Like I was raised for this.

(Verse 2)

Got the flag in my pocket like a quiet reminder,

I’m the dream of my parents getting brighter and brighter.

Every door they closed, yeah, I learned to kick open,

Every “no” they gave me turned into my moment.

And the streets try to test me, life tries to shake me,

But nothing in this world was ever gonna break me.

My roots grow deep even far from mi tierra—

I stand tall like a torch in the frontera.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every night I pray for strength again,

And I see my family in the places I’ve been.

When the world gets cold, I hear my mother say—

“Mijo, keep going, you’ll find your way.”

(Chorus)

I push through the struggle like I was raised for this,

Carry my people’s fire in every breath I take.

Yeah, I rise from the ashes, turn the pain to bliss—

A Mexican heart that nobody can break.

I’m climbing, I’m fighting,

I’m shining through the darkest hits—

’Cause I push through the struggle

Like I was raised for this.

(Bridge)

And if I fall, I’ll rise again,

’Cause that’s the blood that’s in my veins.

Crossing lines and crossing pain,

But my spirit stays the same.

I’m the story of survival,

Turning struggle into pride—

A warrior in the making

With mi gente by my side.

(Final Chorus)

I push through the struggle like I was raised for this,

Carry my people’s fire in every breath I take.

Yeah, I rise from the ashes, turn the pain to bliss—

A Mexican heart that nobody can break.

I’m climbing, I’m fighting,

I’m shining through the darkest hits—

’Cause I push through the struggle

Like I was raised for this.

Yeah, I push through the struggle…

’Cause I was raised for this.
