[Intro]
Damn, these streets got me twisted, caught in this maze
Trying to stay true, but the world throws shade
Every scar, every tear, a story engraved
Living these days, fighting 'em tried and unshaved
[Verse 1]
People talk, they don’t know the half of my pain
Blood, sweat, tears, I carry it like chains
Sweatin' through the struggle, fighting my mental rain
They see the shine, but they don’t see the strain
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a battle inside, a war in my mind
Trying to keep sane, but what I seek I can't find
They think they know me, but they blind
My name’s my legacy, I gotta stay aligned
[Chorus]
Living my life, got no choice but to fight
Dark clouds surround me, but I see the light
They wanna see me fall, but I rise every night
Bloodline too strong, I put up a fight
[Verse 2]
Shadows whisper, trying to plot in the dark
Smile in my face, but they leave a mark
Threats in the air, I hear every bark
Peaceful or not, I gotta play my part
[Pre-Chorus]
Conflicted inside, peace or war, which way?
They want me silent, but I got too much to say
Keep my name clean, gotta keep the bad away
Stand tall, keep my head high every day
[Chorus]
Living my life, got no choice but to fight
Dark clouds surround me, but I see the light
They wanna see me fall, but I rise every night
Bloodline too strong, I put up a fight
[Bridge]
Every threat, every shadow, couldn’t break my core
Heart heavy, but I know I want more
Loving my life, struggles I adore
Standing tall, I’m stronger than before
[Outro]
Damn, these streets got me twisted, but I’m still here
Living my truth, overcoming fear
Blood, sweat, tears, my crown I wear
This is my story, I declare my fear
This is a dedication to the grown man I am. I do agree. I need to grow up. I need to stay in my ground more and I promise I will. I need to dress the part. I promise I will. I'm going to get to the back I promise I will don't get it twisted I've been lover headed but peep this. I'm on grind mode, baby. It's a dedication to me. It's not for nobody else. I'm about to my old head Rob I ain't worrying about this shit no more level. It is what it is. People don't need to speak so I walk like a grown man and let it be. I will speak no more but best believe when my life is threatened when stuff comes my way, I will react how I need to react to protect my life but until then I agree I'll fall back not gonna say nothing. I'm chilling so I'm as I'm sitting back again, I'm going to protect mines any means necessary. I'm always willing to talk, but if I gotta protect mine, I'm OK becoming something that I don't wanna become and shouldn't become and know it's bad but I'm a survivor. I gotta do what I gotta do with my back up to the corner.
