Story of my life

I been movin' low, gotta watch my shadow Everybody smile but they hearts feel shallow

Slow beat knockin' like a heartbeat

If it's smoke in the air, I don't retreat

Late nights, deep thoughts, stare into space Every loss left a scar, I remember they face I ain't loud with the talk, I'm calm with the pressure Slow grind, small wins turn into treasure

They don't know what it cost just to breathe this air

I ain't perfect, I still battle my flesh (nah)

Still wake up some nights outta breath (mm)

But I put that pain in His hands (yeah)

Now I walk with a purpose, I stand

I was surrounded by wolves with no leash (yeah)

Everybody armed, barely prayin' for peace (nah)

Thought bein' hard was the way to survive (mm)

Till I seen how quick the hardest ones die (damn)

Lost friends to the cell, lost some to the grave (why?)

Same streets that raised me tried to take my faith
