Lyrics
[Intro]
Late nights
Thin walls
Same screams
Different day
[Verse 1]
Roaches in the hallway, plates in the sink
Mama throwin' word blades, dad throwin' drink
TV talkin' louder just to cover the war
I learned to read the weather by the slam of a door
Hand-me-down shoes, but my rage was new
Teachers said "focus," they ain't seen my view
Sleepin' with my hoodie on, one eye half-open
Dreams on layaway, hope half-broken
I walked myself to school past the yellow tape
Graffiti wrote the rules on the fire escape
Kids playin' dice where the flowers should be
I ain't choose this life, but it chose on me
[Chorus]
I was raised different, raised by the streets
Turned pain into hustle, made wounds into beats
In a house full of chaos, I carved out a lane
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change (yeah)
I was raised different, born in the smoke
Turned every slammed door to another chance of hope
They wrote me off early, I rewrote the page
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change
[Verse 2]
Pops said, "Boys don't cry," fists in the drywall
So I swallowed every tear, grew teeth in my jaw
Mama said she leavin', then she never would leave
So I packed my own bags full of secret beliefs
Like: I ain't gotta be the echo of this house
I ain't gotta wear the silence like a mouth
I can break the pattern, not just bend
I can be the start, not the bitter end
Homies hit the corner, said "We all stuck here"
I saw a small door hid behind fear
Took my anger, wrote it down line by line
Turned the shouts in the kitchen to a sharpened mind
Now I walk that same block with a different stride (yeah)
Same cracked pavement, got a different shine
I ain't perfect, still scarred, still feel that strain
But I'm swingin' at the cycle like it feel my name
[Chorus]
I was raised different, raised by the streets
Turned pain into hustle, made wounds into beats
In a house full of chaos, I carved out a lane
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change (oh yeah)
I was raised different, born in the smoke
Turned every slammed door to another chance of hope
They wrote me off early, I rewrote the page
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change
[Bridge]
Who else gon' break these chains
When the whole damn world say "stay the same"? (stay the same)
I took that hurt, made a vow in the flame
If I walk out, the door don't stay the same
[Chorus]
I was raised different, raised by the streets
Turned pain into hustle, made wounds into beats
In a house full of chaos, I carved out a lane
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change
I was raised different, born in the smoke
Turned every slammed door to another chance of hope
They wrote me off early, I rewrote the page
I'm the only one fightin' for a change, for a change (for a change)
