Sun low on the block, city lights start glowin’
Crazy how the people closest be the first ones foldin’
I learned somethin’ from this one…
(Verse 1)
I remember all the talks about family and trust
Now I’m lookin’ at the smoke from what became of us
Used to ride through the city with our dreams on gold
Now I’m seeing true colors when the nights get cold
Thought the bond was solid, thought the roots ran deep
Now I keep one eye open when I barely sleep
Pain hit hard, yeah it cut like steel
But pressure make a man show the world what’s real
Everybody yellin’ loyalty till the pressure arrives
Till the money and the pride start changin’ lives
I was down in the dirt, now I’m climbin’ the hill
Heart bruised up but I’m standing still
(Hook)
Now you gon’ see what I’m made of
Hard times, I was raised up
Lost trust, now I stay up
Still ten toes, never changed up
Through the rain and the hate I remain tough
Through the lies and the games I’m the same one
You can wound me but you can’t erase us
Still standin’ when the smoke clears, made up
(Verse 2)
I ain’t carryin’ revenge, I’m carryin’ lessons
Life gave me scars and I turned ‘em to blessings
Now I move with purpose, eyes on progression
Turned all that hurt into fuel and direction
The same ones clappin’ be the same ones switchin’
The same ones talkin’ be the same ones missin’
But I ain’t lookin’ back, got roads to pave
Built from struggle, built from storms I braved
(Outro)
Still here…
Still breathing…
Still moving…
Now they gon’ see what I’m made of.
(Bridge)
Used to call you day one, now the truth came later
Smiles turned cold, loyalty switched like a traitor
Funny how the masks fall when the pressure gets greater
Now I see the real through the smoke and the vapor
I kept my feet down, never folded under weight
Pain made me stronger, now I’m changing my fate
You thought the story ended, nah, I came back greater
Now the whole world sees who stood and who turned traitor.
