Windows down, city lights blur past
Heart beatin’ fast, yeah we movin’ too fast
Pain in the rearview, dreams in the glass
Tryna make it all last, while we chasin’ that flash
Came from the bottom where the nights felt long
Had hope in my chest, but the days felt wrong
Now I’m talkin’ to God through a verse and a song
Tryna prove to myself that I still belong
Yeah, I been runnin’ from fear, but I’m standin’ my ground
Every loss made a sound, every win came around
Got scars in my soul but they look like crowns
When you live what you rap, that’s a king-type sound
Hook:
Love, live and laugh, yeah I’m breakin’ the mold
Cold nights, warm dreams, heart never froze
If tomorrow ain’t promised, I’m takin’ control
Write my life in these bars, let the story be told
Second verse, pressure heavy but I carry the weight
Turn doubts into drive, turn the stress into faith
Everybody got demons, some louder than hate
I just face ‘em head-on, let ‘em know it’s too late
Mama said “stay real, don’t bend for the fake”
So I sharpen my pen every move that I make
If I fall, I rise up, that’s a bet you can take
‘Cause the hunger don’t fade, yeah it’s sewn in my fate
Bridge:
If I crash, let it be for a dream I believed
Not a life half-lived, not a soul that I deceived
Every breath is a gift, every verse I release
Is a step toward peace, yeah a step toward me
Final Hook:
Love, live and laugh, through the tears and the thrills
From the pain to the passion, yeah I’m payin’ my bills
If the world tries to break me, I’m built out of will
This my life, this my mic—yeah I’m keepin’ it real
