Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Manhattan, New York City

Concrete on my back

Growin' up in the projects

Tryna make it through the cracks

Mom at home with the babies

I be countin' every breath

Every day another test

Tryna dodge another threat

[Pre-Chorus]

I stayed out the mix

Kept my eyes on the wheel

Got a fire in my chest

And a hunger that's real

If I lose my way

I might lose my life

So I grip that dream

And I hold it tight

[Chorus]

Away from gangs, I move

Cars in my head, that's truth

I gotta make it through

Another day, another day

I pray I make it through

Away from gangs, I move

I gotta make it through

[Verse 2]

Little bro want shoes

Little sis want snacks

Mom tired from the shift

Still she never looked back

I got oil on my hands

And a vision in my eyes

Chrome dreams in the basement

While the sirens cut the sky

I ain't built for that war

I was built to drive

Hands on the dream wheel

Fightin' just to stay alive

[Pre-Chorus]

I stayed out the mix

Kept my eyes on the wheel

Got a fire in my chest

And a hunger that's real

If I lose my way

I might lose my life

So I grip that dream

And I hold it tight

[Chorus]

Away from gangs, I move

Cars in my head, that's truth

I gotta make it through

Another day, another day

I pray I make it through

Away from gangs, I move

I gotta make it through

[Bridge]

If the block get loud

I go quiet and low

Got my mom in my prayers

Got my babies to hold

One more mile, one more grind

One more chance to breathe

I keep my feet on the road

'Cause the road still needs me

[Chorus]

Away from gangs, I move

Cars in my head, that's truth

I gotta make it through

Another day, another day

I pray I make it through

Away from gangs, I move

I gotta make it through
