[Intro]
Yeah, we grindin’ in the shadows of the blocks,
Dreamin’ bigger than the world, hopin’ the clock stops,
Mama said, keep your head up, heart strong,
One day we gon’ rise, where we belong.
[Verse 1]
Stacked in these concrete jungles, life’s a hustle, no fuss,
Chasing light, while the streets keep pullin’ us under, uh,
Every corner, a story of struggle and pain,
Lookin’ for the same silver lining amid the rain.
Sweatin’ every dime, tryna catch a break, real talk,
Mama prayed, “Son, you gotta watch the snake in the yard,”
But faith got me stickin’ to my roots, no fall,
Tryna find the purpose, break the walls, break the wall.
Hustle’s dirty, but the dreams pure and bright,
Gotta get my seed out these dark nights,
Designed to escape, like a bird in flight,
Concrete to clouds, to heights where the world’s light.
Feelin’ trapped inside this maze, every day's a risk,
Life’s calculus—multiply the pain, hope's the gist,
Stuck in this system, it’s a constant twist,
But I gotta find the truth, can’t resist.
[Pre-Chorus]
What’s the real meaning, huh? Life without dreamin’?
Search for the light, yeah, I keep faith gleamin’,
Hustle for tomorrow, gotta set the scene, gleamin’,
Destiny waitin’, gotta chase what’s worth reachin’.
[Chorus - Female Vocal]
Rise above, expand your wings, feel the sun,
Break free from chains, let the new life come,
Hold on tight, our future’s gonna shine,
From these streets to the stars, it’s our time.
[Verse 2]
Seen a lot, lost some, but the hope’s still alive,
Mama said, “Son, keep your spirit, stay resilient, survive,”
Every scar’s a lesson, every fall an ascension,
Fightin’ through the storm, chasing my reflection.
On these cold nights, I pray for better days,
Vision big, get out these trap maze,
Stackin’ dreams like bricks, buildin’ my escape,
For my children’s future, break the chains, reshape.
Gotta hustle smarter, mind sharper than the game,
Stay loyal to the struggle, never fold, never shame,
Knowin’ deep in my soul, it ain’t just for fame,
It’s ‘bout the legacy, passin’ down the flame.
The world’s bigger than these streets, no doubt,
We aiming for the sky, what’s in us will push us out,
Doubt can’t hold us, we got love, no drought,
Living for the now, but think about the route.
[Pre-Chorus]
What’s the real meaning, huh? Life without dreamin’?
Search for the light, yeah, I keep faith gleamin’,
Hustle for tomorrow, gotta set the scene, gleamin’,
Destiny waitin’, gotta chase what’s worth reachin’.
[Chorus - Female Vocal]
Rise above, expand your wings, feel the sun,
Break free from chains, let the new life come,
Hold on tight, our future’s gonna shine,
From these streets to the stars, it’s our time.
[Outro]
Yeah, we out here grindin’ for a brighter day,
Holdin’ on to hope, never let it stray,
From the shadows to the light, we find our way,
This is more than just survival, it’s our say.
