## Verse 1
Platinum plaques on walls that once held eviction notices
Ten years deep, from street corners to executive offices
Lost three friends to the game while I was climbing charts
Their memories fuel my pen, tattooed across my heart
Critics said my story was fabricated, polished clean
Hell, they never walked a mile in these scuffed-up dreams
Tragedy and triumph intertwined like double helix
Turned my pain to poetry, now the whole world feels it
## Chorus
Evolution of a dreamer, watch me elevate
From poverty to power, rewrote my damn fate
Intuition grew to wisdom, vision clear as day
Every setback built my backbone, wouldn't have it any other way
I'm not just surviving anymore, I'm fucking thriving
Top of the mountain now, but still hungry, still striving
## Verse 2
Studio sessions replaced street corners, same hustle though
Trading eight bars for eight figures, how the tables turned, bro
Buried my brother last spring, pen couldn't stop shaking
Transformed that grief to gold, that's alchemy in the making
Vultures circled when the money came, fake love everywhere
Learned to trust that inner voice, the one that got me here
From food stamps to philanthropy, full circle moment
Built schools in my old hood, where they said I wouldn't own shit
## Chorus
Evolution of a dreamer, watch me elevate
From poverty to power, rewrote my damn fate
Intuition grew to wisdom, vision clear as day
Every setback built my backbone, wouldn't have it any other way
I'm not just surviving anymore, I'm fucking thriving
Top of the mountain now, but still hungry, still striving
## Bridge
Lost so much on this journey, gained even more
Pain sharpened my lyrics, heartbreak opened doors
They study my words in classrooms, analyze my flow
From project windows to penthouses, look how far we go
When intuition speaks, I still listen like day one
No industry bullshit drowning out what made me run
## Verse 3
Grammy speech, thanked the doubters first, they lit my fire
Mentioned teachers who said my language wasn't proper
Now my slang is celebrated, authenticity's the wave
From notebook scribbles to speeches at my alma mater's stage
Still remember nights starving, wondering if dreams cost too much
Now I fund dreamers just like me, breaking cycles, building trust
Yeah, I've changed, evolved, grown into these shoes
But that kid from the concrete jungle still informs my truth
## Outro
From escaping gravity to creating galaxies
My intuition's now an empire, built on tragedies
The poverty's a memory that keeps me grounded
Life's a masterpiece I paint, beautifully fucking boundless
