[Intro]
From island waves to city lights, the story begins
Sacrifice and struggle, lost within the winds
A man with a dream, escaping the night
Seeking a future bright, fighting for his life
[Verse 1]
He left behind the Caribbean sun
Fled from shadows, had to run
Troubles with a soldier's gun
Hoping for a brand new dawn
His mother’s tears, her voice so kind
Guided him to another grind
To the U.S., to start anew
Chasing chapters yet untruth
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands from the soil to the crowded streets
Worked through the pain, felt the heat
Dreams of more, dreams of fame
Carved his name in the game
[Chorus]
Son of the island, heart of the city
Living the stories, born of no pity
From butcher’s block to hustling veins
Legacy runs through the chains
Of blood and blood, of sweat and tears
Building his empire, conquering fears
Story of a father, loved and revered
Roots run deep, his name’s engraved here
[Verse 2]
In the shop, he found his craft
Cutting meat, his steady path
But on the side, a hustle grew
City’s pulse, he always knew
Fast and fierce, he played the game
Built his wealth, made his name
Son stepped in, carried the flame
Now his legacy, his claim to fame
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Bronx to Brooklyn streets
His story echoes, beats and repeats
A king in his own right, proud and loud
Living under NYC’s vast cloud
[Chorus]
Son of the island, heart of the city
Living the stories, born of no pity
From butcher’s block to hustling veins
Legacy runs through the chains
Of blood and blood, of sweat and tears
Building his empire, conquering fears
Story of a father, loved and revered
Roots run deep, his name’s engraved here
[Bridge]
Lines of love, battles fought
Lessons learned, peace bought
Empire built on sacrifice
Daddy’s dream, rolling dice
No turning back, no retreat
Legacy in every beat
From D.R. to NYC streets
Life’s a chain, complete
[Outro]
From the island to the stars
Echoes of who we are
Hustle, love, and scars
Reaching for the sun, raising the bars
