🎶 Been Fightin' Just To Make It
Hook (Choir / Chant)
All my life, I been fightin’ just to make it,
Dreams too real, they can’t ever come and break it.
From the bottom, every struggle, yeah we faced it,
All my life, now the world gon’ celebrate it.

Verse 1 (Durk-style / Chicago Grit)
Came from the mud, but the soul still clean,
Mama prayed every night, kept food on the scene.
Dodgin’ sirens, lost brothers to the streets unseen,
But I rose from the ashes like a king, redeemed.
Every L that I took turned to lessons I own,
Every scar on my body is the proof I’ve grown.
When they doubted the vision, I just held my zone,
Now the city got a voice, they can’t silence the tone.
Hook
All my life, I been fightin’ just to make it,
Dreams too real, they can’t ever come and break it.
From the bottom, every struggle, yeah we faced it,
All my life, now the world gon’ celebrate it.

Verse 2 (Cole-style / Storytelling Truth)
Said it’s hard to be a light when the dark so near,
But the faith in my chest overcame that fear.
Every block got a story, every voice need clear,
When the youth see the hope, that’s the reason I’m here.
We don’t just rap, we testify, turn pain into flame,
Every verse is a mirror, not a quest for fame.
To the kids in the crowd, never live with shame,
What you carry is your power, let the world know your name.
Hook
All my life, I been fightin’ just to make it,
Dreams too real, they can’t ever come and break it.
From the bottom, every struggle, yeah we faced it,
All my life, now the world gon’ celebrate it.

Verse 3 (Chicago Anthem / Choir Layer)
From Cabrini to Englewood, lift the crown up high,
Let the babies see the future in the Midwest sky.
Ain’t no limit to the dream, we was born to fly,
Turn the hurt into hope, let the city testify.
This forever, not a season, we don’t fold, we fight,
Every prayer from the hood gon’ ignite that light.
From Chi-town to the globe, put the truth in sight,
This our anthem, our story, our eternal right.
Hook (Final / Stadium Choir)
All my life, I been fightin’ just to make it,
Dreams too real, they can’t ever come and break it.
From the bottom, every struggle, yeah we faced it,
All my life, now the world gon’ celebrate it.
