From Gary to the Cities

From the 219 to the Twin Cities, a long road traveled onachi

Born in Gary, where the steel stands tall,

City’s heartbeat, I learned to stand my ground,

Twenty years gone, I’ve been lost and found,

Walking these streets, searching for my sound.

Dusty memories, storms in my mind,

Every step forward leaves shadows behind,

Chasing a dream that I’ve yet to define,

In the cold Minneapolis, I still shine.

Homeless and lonely, but my spirit’s free,

From Indiana’s heart to Minnesota’s breeze,

Life’s unforgiving, but I believe,

There’s hope in every new dawn I see.

Struggling through the night, seeking the light,

Found strength in the fight, making it right,

Every scar a story, every fall a climb,

Still walking forward, leaving doubt behind.

From Gary’s streets to the Twin Cities' grace,

A journey of soul, no time can erase,

Standing here, stronger than before,

From 219 to now, I soar.
