[Intro]
Yeah, garden roots, digging deeper,
Where I grew, no silver spoons, just a dreamer.
[Verse 1]
What you know about the streets that raised me?
Every crack in the pavement, love never fazed me.
Playing games with empty boxes and rusted toys,
In a world so tough, we found our joys.
Beneath the stars, we danced in the rain,
Living life simply, without any shame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Those little moments, oh they spark a fire,
With just a dream and a heart’s desire.
[Chorus]
I remember when the sun was shining bright,
When laughter echoed through the darkest night.
Cardboard city, our kingdom so free,
In the heart of the struggle, we found harmony.
[Verse 2]
What you know about sharing a meal with just two?
With a brother by my side, we knew what to do.
Climbing old trees, oh we ruled the land,
With dirt on our face and our hearts so grand.
No playground swings, just a swing in a dream,
In the life that we lived, we were part of a team.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every moment treasured like a diamond’s glow,
In the struggles we faced, that’s where love would grow.
[Chorus]
I remember when the sun was shining bright,
When laughter echoed through the darkest night.
Cardboard city, our kingdom so free,
In the heart of the struggle, we found harmony.
[Bridge]
Oh, time moves on, but the roots run deep,
In the soil of our past, promises we keep.
Remembering laughter, the stories we’d tell, s with empty boxes and rusted toys,
In a world so tough, we found our joys.
Beneath the stars, we danced in the rain,
Living life simply, without any shame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Those little moments, oh they spark a fire,
With just a dream and a heart’s desire.
[Chorus]
I remember when the sun was shining bright,
When laughter echoed through the darkest night.
Cardboard city, our kingdom so free,
In the heart of the struggle, we found harmony.
[Verse 2]
What you know about sharing a meal with just two?
With a brother by my side, we knew what to do.
Climbing old trees, oh we ruled the land,
With dirt on our face and our hearts so grand.
No playground swings, just a swing in a dream,
In the life that we lived, we were part of a team.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every moment treasured like a diamond’s glow,
In the struggles we faced, that’s where love would grow.
[Chorus]
I remember when the sun was shining bright,
When laughter echoed through the darkest night.
Cardboard city, our kingdom so free,
In the heart of the struggle, we found harmony.
[Bridge]
Oh, time moves on, but the roots run deep,
In the soil of our past, promises we keep.
Remembering laughter, the stories we’d tell,
In the shadows of the city, we learned to excel.
[Outro]
So here’s to the days, when the sun smiled down,
To the heart of a ghetto kid who never drowned.
In his boots and a hat, with grit and with grace,
A reminder that happiness can grow in a place.
