Break Free from the Ghetto

Yo, I wake up in the crack of dawn, thinkin' what’s the mother fucking purpose, what’s it all for?

Streets cold fucking cold, mind’s hotter than the summer’s core,

Dreams locked in a cage, tryna find the key to open more.

Mama told me, “Son, it’s bigger than this damn block,”

But every day's a fight, dodgin' shots, dodgin' cops, see the clock?

Time's burnin' slow while my soul’s wastin' fast,

Gotta find a way the fuck out, before the youth expires in the past.

Hustle on the corner, paintin' pictures in my mind,

A new life, a new day, leave this shit behind.

But chains heavy, man, they cling and they bind,

Got me wonderin’ if dreams are just a sign of time left to unwind.

Grew up where hope is a pfucking gamble, life’s a roll of dice,

Every day’s a gamble, no parachute, just a price.

I gotta get my kids out this maze, out this caged estate,

Show ‘em a brighter sun beyond these grey shades.

Pain beneath my feet, hope within my heart,

Struggles of the streets tearing me apart.

But I gotta stand, gotta fight, can’t give in,

New dawn, new light, let the life begin.

Rise above, break the chains, make a way,

For my children’s future, brighter days.

Pain in my soul, but I believe, I see,

A better world for you and me.l

Money talk, but it’s got a foul mouth, corrupt and loud,

Echoes of the lost, fucking buried deep beneath these clouds.

A hero in my mind, but this life shit is a villain’s script,

Fightin’ to escape this hellhole, don’t wanna end up on the bricks,

Stuck in a fucking cycle, like the wheels spinin' round,

Sick of the same ol’ sound, trapped beneath a misery mound.

Thinkin’ what’s the meaning? Is it just fucking survival?

Or summat more, beyond the streets, beyond the rival?

Gotta hustle smarter, elevate my mind state,

Build a future that’s worth more than just a crime rate.

For my seed, I gotta break these fucking chains, flip the script,

Show ‘em life’s more than what this gutter’s equipped.

Because in the ghetto, pain’s currency, survival’s low buy,

But I dream of a day I can touch the fucking sky.

Pain beneath my feet, hope within my heart,

Struggles of the streets tearing me apart.

But I gotta stand, gotta fight, can’t give in,

New dawn, new light, let the life begin.

Rise above, break the chains, make a way,

For my children’s future, brighter days.

Pain in my soul, but I believe, I see,

A better world for you and me.
