[Verse]
Garden roots deep, dirt stains the soles,
Hole in my shoes, life took its tolls.
One shirt hanging, threadbare dreams,
Biking through the ghetto, chasing schemes.
[Chorus]
What you know about the struggle, the grind,
Second-hand bikes, uphill climbs.
Jackson nights, Tennessee skies,
Memphis beats where the truth never lies.
[Verse 2]
Mama said stretch a dollar, stretch a meal,
Empty fridge, but the hunger was real.
Sidewalks cracked, mirrors of our pain,
Prayin' for sun, but we lived in rain.
[Chorus]
What you know about the struggle, the grind,
Second-hand bikes, uphill climbs.
Jackson nights, Tennessee skies,
Memphis beats where the truth never lies.
[Bridge]
Rivers ran brown, dreams ran dry,
But the fire in the soul couldn’t ever die.
Roots in the garden, weeds in the cracks,
We built a kingdom where the world turned its back.
[Verse 3]
Bumpin' through the hood with a chain that squeaks,
Voices of the past in the wind, it speaks.
Ghosts of the block, they never leave,
Every crack in the concrete helped us believe.
