Tougher Than Time

Yeah, it’s a story from the start, y’know?

Childhood reflections, here we go.

At one year old, life’s just begun,

Mama’s chasing, trying to have some fun,

With a big ol’ gun, but I ran away,

Learning early, gotta stay sharp each day.

Two years in, doing my thing,

I didn’t wanna drink milk, I wanted some wings,

Free to get in, at three I was cool,

Partying hardy, breaking all the rules.

It’s the youth in me, wild and free,

Growing up strong, just trying to see,

Life’s tough lessons, I had to be tough,

Keep my head high, when the times got rough.

Four years old, life’s a test,

Always advised, Lord, I do my best,

Never be wrapped, never be tame,

Hardcore and fierce, I play the game.

Five years in, no jive allowed,

Standing tall, I’m breaking cloud,

Survivor’s spirit, that’s all I knew,

Life’s a hustle, I push on through.

It’s the youth in me, wild and free,

Growing up strong, just trying to see,

Life’s tough lessons, I had to be tough,

Keep my head high, when the times got rough.

From one to five, I learned to fight,

Shadows of childhood, shining bright,

Memory lane, I walk with pride,

Strength within, I won’t hide.

Now I look back, see how far I’ve come,

From every struggle, I’ve become someone,

A story of resilience, written in my soul,

Growing up tough, that's my goal.
