Battle

Grew up in the fire, pain cut deep like a razor,

Mama gone too soon, victim to my own creator.

Father took her light, left six souls in the dark,

But the Lord had a plan, put new love in my heart.

Mamo and Apapa, angels sent from above,

Taught us strength, taught us faith, taught us family is love.

Didn’t ask for the scars, didn’t ask for this fight,

But they carried our burden, made the wrong feel right.

Hook

From the ashes I rise, keep my family alive,

Got sober, found hope, now I’m starting to thrive.

Through the struggle and the tears, Jesus opened my eyes,

Now I carry on the legacy, truth in my rhymes.

Verse 2

I could’ve drowned in that bottle, could’ve lost in the streets,

But I saw the kids watchin’, and they follow my feet.

Cycle of pain, I refuse to repeat,

So I pray every night, Lord, keep me complete.

Divorce broke chains but it birthed new life,

Now I’m stronger for the children, through the storm and the strife.

No revenge in my chest, just redemption and peace,

Every wound turned a lesson, every trial released.

Bridge

Mama, I miss you, but your spirit lives on,

Through the love of my elders, I found where I belong.

And Apapa’s wisdom, Mamo’s gentle embrace,

Put God in my heart, now I run my own race.

Hook

From the ashes I rise, keep my family alive,

Got sober, found hope, now I’m starting to thrive.

Through the struggle and the tears, Jesus opened my eyes,

Now I carry on the legacy, truth in my rhymes.
