Straight from Baton dirt to the top…
AKT, slime… never broke, still climbin’.
🔥 Chorus (Hook — repeat 2x, auto-tune heavy)
AKT top, slimes tried knock me off,
Corner king slidin’, built a throne on the block.
Always Keep Tryin’, gran words in my chest,
Came from the cage, now I’m crowned, no rest.
AKT blessed, chains swing, pain talk,
Turned every loss to a win on the sidewalk.
Empire built where the streetlights glow,
From the mud to the crown, watch a king still grow.
🎤 Verse 1 (Triplet flow / melodic drill bounce)
’99 spawn, pops gone, mom strong holdin’ in,
55 flat dreams locked where the cold walls bend.
Gran gumbo nights, hunger pains, stove steam rise,
Bike jack days, battery flips just to survive.
Dropped school early, notebook full of pain lines,
Turned scars into songs, now the struggle pay fine.
Life Before Lights, SoundCloud racks stack slow,
Corner King tax, every move gotta glow.
’16 ride-by, grazed arm but I stood tall,
Cuffs clapped quick, still ten toes through it all.
Six months boxed, nightmares pressed my brain,
Came home sharper, turned pressure into gain.
🌊 Pre-Chorus (Melodic build)
Lost too many nights to the sirens and rain,
Swore on my soul I’d never stay the same.
Every tear turned diamonds in the dark,
Now my story leave a permanent mark.
🔥 Chorus (Repeat)
AKT top, slimes tried knock me off,
Corner king slidin’, built a throne on the block.
Always Keep Tryin’, gran words in my chest,
Came from the cage, now I’m crowned, no rest.
AKT blessed, chains swing, pain talk,
Turned every loss to a win on the sidewalk.
Empire built where the streetlights glow,
From the mud to the crown, watch a king still grow.
🎤 Verse 2 (More melodic + emotional flex)
Late nights starin’ at the ceiling fan spin,
Thinkin’ how the trenches turn friends into sin.
Lost bros to the system, some lost to the grave,
I just write they names every time I get paid.
Used to dodge lights while the block stayed hot,
Now I dodge fake love when the streams get high.
Tears in my chain, every link got a cost,
Every win I celebrate for the ones we lost.
Mama said patience make a man out the pain,
So I poured all my hurt in the mic and the flame.
They doubted my climb, said I wouldn’t go far,
Now my hood see hope every time I drop bars.
🌌 Bridge (Slow, emotional, auto-tune heavy)
From Baton dirt to worldwide lights,
Still hear gran prayin’ through the nights.
Demons tried trap me, chains tried hold,
But my heart stayed fire, my soul stayed gold.
🔥 Final Chorus (Big layered ending)
AKT top, slimes tried knock me off,
Corner king slidin’, built a throne on the block.
Always Keep Tryin’, gran words in my chest,
Came from the cage, now I’m crowned, no rest.
AKT blessed, chains swing, pain talk,
Turned every loss to a win on the sidewalk.
Empire built where the streetlights glow,
From the mud to the crown, watch a king still grow.
