Out of the Trap, Into the Dream

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

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

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

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

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

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
