From the Grit to the Glow

(Verse 1)

Yo, I lived in Brum, thirty years in the grind,

Fucked up nights, lost my mind, no peace to find.

Drinks on the table, sniffin' lines like a champ,

Ballin' with the thugs, in the dark like a vamp.

Kicked balls with the homies, Aston Villa my pride,

But in the shadows, I was ready to slide.

Prison ain't a game, got stabbed in the leg,

Lost my old man, that shit hit like a beg.

(Hook)

Yeah, we thugged it out, faced the storm,

But I turned that shit 'round, now I’m reborn.

From the grit to the glow, I’m flexin' my style,

Met my queen, baby, now I’m livin’ life wild.

(Verse 2)

Used to be lost, drowned in the bottle,

Now I’m out here hustlin’, full throttle.

Bitches in the rear, but I’m focused on my grind,

Clean from the poison, got that peace of mind.

From the hell of the streets to the heights of the sky,

Never lookin’ back, watch this phoenix fly high.

Ain’t no more demons, I’m slayin’ my foes,

Takin’ life serious, watch how it goes.

(Hook)

Yeah, we thugged it out, faced the storm,

But I turned that shit 'round, now I’m reborn.

From the grit to the glow, I’m flexin' my style,

Met my queen, baby, now I’m livin’ life wild.

(Bridge)

Now I’m on my grind, with my head held high,

Thirty years of struggle, but I learned how to fly.

No more bottles, no more lines, just love in my chest,

This life’s a wild ride, but I’m feelin’ the best.

(Outro)

From the blocks of Birmingham to the top of my game,

I rose from the ashes, you’ll remember my name.

So here’s to the journey, the pain and the fight,

Got my queen by my side, now I’m shinin’ so bright.
