[Intro]
Yeah, from the bottom we rise,
Where the struggle never lies,
Hood tales, they unfold,
Chasing dreams, just trying to hold.
[Verse 1]
Streets painted with memories,
Graffiti whispers my enemies,
Learned to hustle, learned to fight,
In the shadows, I found my light.
Corner stores and broken glass,
Counting the days that slip on past,
Dodging the fate that lingers near,
But I’m still here, chasing my career.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say the hood’s a cycle deep,
But I’m breaking chains, no time for sleep,
Band after band, stacking my dough,
From the bottom, watch me glow.
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, from the ashes,
Counting blessings, dodging crashes,
Got my crew, we stand tall,
While the world tries to make us fall.
[Bridge]
Echoes of laughter, shadows long,
In this life, we learn to be strong,
Bodies dropped, yeah, it’s a cost,
But in this game, we’re never lost.
[Verse 2]
Mama worked hard, just to get by,
Taught me to hustle, reach for the sky,
Now I’m balling, making my name,
In this hood, we play the game.
With every step, I feel the weight,
Of those who fell, well, that’s our fate,
But I’m alive, I still believe,
In the power we weave, and the love we leave.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say the hood’s a cycle deep,
But I’m breaking chains, no time for sleep,
Band after band, stacking my dough,
From the bottom, watch me glow.
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, from the ashes,
Counting blessings, dodging crashes,
Got my crew, we stand tall,
While the world tries to make us fall.
[Outro]
So here’s to the dreams in the night,
Growing up, we learned to fight,
Hood tales, we’ll tell ‘em loud,
Through the pain, we wear our proud.
Yeah, we’re rising, can’t bring us down,
In the heart of the hood, we wear our crown.
