[Intro]
Yeah, from the bottom, we rise
Hear the truth, no disguise
No silver spoons, just hard times
Welcome to the grind,
[Verse 1]
Yeah, streets cold, concrete under my feet,
Wasn’t given no map, had to chart my own beat,
Stomach growlin’, wearin’ hand-me-down jeans,
Dreamin’ of the day I could live like a king.
Turn the lights on, but the fridge stays bare,
Mama bustin’ her back, but the hope’s in the air,
Poundin’ the pavement, makin’ strides for my fate,
Cookin’ up a hustle, can’t afford to wait.
No playin’, it’s real, every loss got a cost,
But each lesson’s a jewel, can’t afford to be lost,
Got my brothers beside me, we’re built from the grit,
Heart full of fire, yeah, we never submit.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the ashes, we rise, baby, watch us ignite,
With a heart full of dreams, and the focus in sight,
The struggle’s a part of my fate, won’t deny,
With a pact to the soil where our roots grow high.
[Chorus]
We rise from the pain, from the depths of the game,
Hard times turned to grind, now we carve our name,
From the shadows we came, with a spark in the flame,
In the city of scars, we’re the kings of the lane.
[Bridge]
Yeah, we got dreams, can’t shackles hold my soul,
In the darkness, we glean, every setback makes us whole,
In this maze of despair, we navigate the strife,
With a vision so clear, we’re the architects of life.
[Verse 2]
Playground of pain, where we learned how to fight,
Kids held their own, shining bright in the night,
No more empty plates, running hot like a flame,
Every step is a battle, but we play our own game.
See the struggle in my eyes, but today I stand proud,
Grabbin’ hold of my dreams, gonna scream it out loud,
From the slums to the throne, we’re breaking the mold,
With every bar that I spit, watch our story unfold.
[Chorus]
We rise from the pain, from the depths of the game,
Hard times turned to grind, now we carve our name,
From the shadows we came, with a spark in the flame,
In the city of scars, we’re the kings of the lane.
[Outro]
Yeah, remember the struggle, but we’re more than the past,
Building empires from lessons that were long meant to last,
Keep that fire alive, let it light up the sky,
From poverty to power, we rise, we fly!
