[Intro]
Yeah, I see the night fall, stars in the sky, all I got is my story
Lost in the shadows, but I'm climbin’ higher, yeah
[Verse 1]
Born in the darkness, no parents to guide me, just brothers beside me
Survivin’ on scraps, dreams too big, heart heavy, eyes teary
Poverty’s grip, cold nights, whispered prayers, hope's blurry
Growin’ in the struggle, memories flash, pain’s still scary
We was tight-knit, no choice but to fight, life’s cruel game
Every scar tells a story, every loss fuels my flame
They stayed in the depths, I chase the light, break chains, make a name
Loyalty’s thick, sacrifice runs deep, ain't in for fame
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt in my chest, but I gotta leave, make a way for the future
Heart torn in two, wish I could save all, but I gotta choose her
Facing my demons, I rise from the ashes, won’t lose faith
Brothers, hold on, I promise, I’ll find a better day
[Chorus]
Float on the cloud, sound heavy but soft on my mind
Tears in the rain, but I’m climbin’ beyond the grind
Remember the pain, let it drive me to shine
Loyalty’s a crown, but freedom’s what I’m tryna find
[Verse 2]
Memories in the rearview, streets whisper my past
Brothers in the struggle, hope’s a fleeting shadow, can’t last
Every step I take, feel the weight of guilt and sacrifice
But I gotta keep movin’, gotta chase these dreams, pay the price
Pavement scars, a reminder of the times we lost hope
Now I’m reachin’ for the stars, tryna help my people cope
Heart full of love, but the guilt’s heavy, I carry it daily
They say I’ve changed, but I ain’t forget where I came from, maybe
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt in my chest, but I gotta leave, make a way for the future
Heart torn in two, wish I could save all, but I gotta choose her
Facing my demons, I rise from the ashes, won’t lose faith
Brothers, hold on, I promise, I’ll find a better day
[Chorus]
Float on the cloud, sound heavy but soft on my mind
Tears in the rain, but I’m climbin’ beyond the grind
Remember the pain, let it drive me to shine
Loyalty’s a crown, but freedom’s what I’m tryna find
[Bridge]
Heart heavy, but hopeful, dreamin’ of a better place
No more pain, no more chains, just a smile on my face
They in my soul, in my blood, never let the love fade
Findin’ peace in my journey, even in the heartbreak shade
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m risin’ above, while my brothers hold the line
Breadcrumbs of the past, but my future’s mine to define
Remembering where I came from, never gon' forget
Loyal to the end, chase the dreams I haven’t met
