Yo, I came from the streets, where the struggle was real,

Grew up in the hood, where the pain you could feel.

But I had a dream, I knew I had to rise,

Gotta break out the cycle, gotta reach for the skies.

I hustled every day, just to make ends meet,

Trying to stay alive, fighting to keep standing my feet.

But I knew deep down, I was destined for more,

So I put in mad work, yeah, I evened the score.

I dodged all the traps, and I sidestepped the hate,

Kept my eyes on the prize, never tempting fate.

I had to fight hard, just to break the chains,

But I never lost hope, never let fear reign.

I found my own path, and I stayed on the grind,

Turned my pain into power, yeah, I rewrote the lines.

Now I'm standing tall, in a brand-new light,

I made it out the hood, now I own the night.

(Chorus)

I made it out the hood, now I'm living my truth,

From the streets to the top, from the old to the new.

I never gave up, I stayed focused and strong,

I made it out the hood, now I'm where I belong.

I made it out the hood, now I'm living my truth,

From the streets to the top, from the old to the new.

I never gave up, I stayed focused and strong,

I made it out the hood, now I'm where I belong.

(Bridge)

So if you find yourself in the struggle, feeling trapped in the fire,

Just know you can make it, you can reach so much higher.

Believe in yourself, and keep pushing through,

You can make it out the hood, yeah, the power's in you.

(Chorus)

I made it out the hood, now I'm living my truth,

From the streets to the top, from the old to the new.

I never gave up, I stayed focused and strong,

I made it out the hood, now I'm where I belong.

Yeah, I made it out the hood, and I'll never forget,

But now I'm on top, and I ain't finished yet.
