[Intro]
Yeah, 10 toes down, this life got me caught in the dance
Heart heavy, mind racing, this ain't just circumstance
Turnin' dreams to the mic, let these words be my escape
Stuck in the trap, tryna reshape my fate
[Verse 1]
_feeling like life is a sentence, heavy and cold_
Livin’ in the shadows, stories untold
Tired of the cycle, tired of the pain
Wanna switch from the block to the fame
Studio grind, voice in the booth, yeah
While outside, the streets got me askin’ who
Will remember my face before I go?
Or find me on a shirt, covered in snow?
[Pre-Chorus]
This game dangerous, got me soaked in the struggle
Blood in my veins, gotta hustle and juggle
Love’s a weapon, gotta watch who you trust
The rage in my heart, in the music I thrust
[Chorus]
I’m just tryna rise, break free from these chains
From the trap to the rap, change the course of my pain
Will I get booked, will I get my name high?
Or stay buried in these streets until I die?
This life’s a battle, karma’s a bitch
But my soul’s unbreakable, never switch
Fighting these demons, holding my ground
In these streets, but I’m plans to be found
[Verse 2]
Wish I could lift the next man, show him the way
Help him escape the night, find a brighter day
This hustle’s rough, no rubber, just scars
Every lick, every risk’s pulling us apart
Phone ringing, play after play
Livin’ like we locked in, no other way
But deep inside, I’m prayin’ for the dawn
To break these chains, to move on
[Bridge]
Never leave, ten toes down in the mud
In the game, fighting for love and blood
Pain in my eyes, fire in my heart
From the start, I knew I’d play my part
[Outro]
So I grind in the studio, dreamin’ of the sky
From these streets, only hope is to fly
One day, they’ll see me on a shirt or a stage
Until then, I write my story, turn the page
