Verse 1:
I’m down low, but I’m standin’ tall,
Money’s tight, but my heart’s not small,
They call me dumb, say I won’t make it far,
But I’m just chillin’, livin’ like a star.
Hustle every day, even when it’s tough,
They say I’m not enough, but I’m callin’ their bluff,
Clothes are worn out, shoes got holes,
But I got my head up, still got my soul.
Life’s bitter sometimes, but I laugh through the pain,
While they try to break me, I’m just playin’ the game,
They talk trash, but I don’t even care,
I’m still here, steady walkin’ without a prayer.
Chorus:
Chillin’ through the struggle, I don’t need no crown,
Money’s low, but I’m still holdin’ it down,
Chillin’ through the grind, yeah, I’m still fly,
They can hate all they want, but I’ll never die.
Verse 2:
They say I’ll never make it, but I’m still climbin’,
Every step I take, I’m just risin’ and shinin’,
Poor? Maybe, but I’m rich in ambition,
While they sleepin’, I’m on a different mission.
I don’t need the flash, don’t need the fame,
All I need’s a roof, but I’m still playin’ the game,
They judge from a distance, don’t know my pain,
But I’ll keep movin’, they can’t stop my lane.
I keep it simple, keep it real with myself,
Don’t need validation or nobody’s help,
I’m grindin’ hard, while they chillin’ in their zone,
But I’m still here, stayin’ solid, never alone.
Chorus:
Chillin’ through the struggle, I don’t need no crown,
Money’s low, but I’m still holdin’ it down,
Chillin’ through the grind, yeah, I’m still fly,
They can hate all they want, but I’ll never die.
Bridge:
Pain’s real, but I wear it with pride,
Told I’d fail, but I’m still on this ride,
Climbin’ up, yeah, no matter the cost,
Every setback’s a step that I never lost.
Chorus:
Chillin’ through the struggle, I don’t need no crown,
Money’s low, but I’m still holdin’ it down,
Chillin’ through the grind, yeah, I’m still fly,
They can hate all they want, but I’ll never die.
Outro:
So I’ll keep chillin’, no matter the weather,
Might not have it all, but I’m doin’ better,
Hate on me, yeah, I’m still gon’ rise,
I’m chillin’ through the struggle, watch me touch the skies.
