[Intro]
From the block where the nights get cold, stories untold
Where the streets mold young souls, heart and goals unfold
[Verse 1]
Grew up in that street life, survival’s the game
Bright lights, dark nights, trying not to go insane
Lost my brother, now the pain echoes in my conscious,
Shadows in my cell, dreaming of better days, gang … gang
[Pre-Chorus]
Put a button on the arp, now my mind’s focused
Turning up in these streets, yeah, they see I’m chosen
Back then I was bummy, now I’m shining,
Went From broke to rich in the city where catchin a B is called a catchin a hat
[Chorus]
Flint town roots run deep, creep up on you lay in the bushes till you sleep
Searching for love in the chaos, that’s the life I gotta leave
Born broke, dying rich, that’s how ima die
From the grit to the glory, lessons I preach
[Bridge]
Street lights fade, bullets rain down , I elevate
Pain and struggle, fuel my hustle, I dominate
Had to leave, had to go, but the soul remains
BBDR till the world blow , breaking chains, no more ramen noodles on my plate
[Outro]
From the city’s shadow to the heights I climb
Every scar, every scar, a sign of my grind
This is my story, no rewind, just forward in time
Flint pride, forever mine, in my rhyme
