From the Streets to the Stars

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

_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?

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

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

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

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

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
