[Intro]
Pain in my heart, struggle in my mind
Trying to turn the page, leave the past behind
Memories of you, they forever stay
Wish you were here to see me get away
[Verse 1]
Every day’s a fight, walking these streets alone
Trying to keep my nieces safe, make this house a home
Make my girl smile, keep my sisters strong
Haunted by the past, where I don’t belong
Missing my mom and dad, love running deep
Their voices in my head, even when I sleep
Thoughts of you, Murda, wish you were here
Battling these demons, facing all my fears
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could turn back time, change what’s done
Hold you in my arms, keep you from the gun
But I’m trapped in this cycle, trying to break free
Hoping one day, the world will see me
[Chorus]
From the trap to the top, I wanna make it out
Prove I’m more than pain, more than doubt
Put down the gun, pick up the pen, start fresh
Chasing my dreams, feeling blessed
I miss you, Big Bro, my hero, my guide
Wish you were here to stand by my side
Got success in my sight, won’t let it slip
Finally found my peace, I’m on this trip
[Bridge]
Mama, I still feel the guilt and pain
Dad, wish I was there, I’d take away your rain
Every scar, every tear, I carry ‘em all
Still standing tall, I won’t fall
[Outro]
This is for my fallen, for my surviving
For the ones I lost, keep on striving
One day we’ll meet again, beyond this shell
Till then, I’ll carry your stories well
