Verse 1)

My name is Sam and this is my life as of today Fifteen years in a chemical warzone

Heroin and meth smoked to the bone

Used to wake up just to get high again

Now I wake up fightin’ to feel like a man

Sold love for a hit, trust for a lie

Watched my whole life pass right by

Lost my kids, lost my name, lost my soul

Lookin’ in the mirror like “Who’s in control?”

Couch to couch, with a pipe in my hand

Nobody left who could still understand

I was gone, deep down in the fire

Chasin’ that dragon, never gettin’ higher

I buried friends, I buried dreams

All that was left was broken schemes

Now I’m facin’ 28 in the state’s cold hand

But I found a new path, I finally took a stand

(Chorus)

I lost everything I loved, now I’m facin’ time

But I got six months clean and I’m holdin’ the line

Yeah, I danced with death, I was barely alive

But I crawled out the grave — now I’m tryin’ to thrive

Ain’t no cell gonna take what I built inside

I’m scarred, but I’m strong, and I’m still full of fight

No matter what they throw, I’mma stand and rise

Six months sober — I’m reclaimin’ my life

(Verse 2)

They see a felon, I see a man reborn

Through the coldest nights and the hardest storms

Orange jumpsuit, chains on my wrist

But freedom’s in my heart every time I resist

Every time I say “no,” that’s a battle I win

Against the ghost of the man that I used to be then

I ain't perfect — still got pain in my chest

But I ain't numb no more, and that’s progress

Prayin' in the dark with my hands to the sky

Tears on the floor but my soul stayed dry

This road is long and the time might come

But I ain’t gonna fold, and I ain’t gonna run

I found peace in the storm, purpose in the flame

My past don’t define me, I ain't playin’ that game

Whatever comes next, I walk it with pride

‘Cause I’m six months clean and I’m still alive

(Chorus)

I lost everything I loved, now I’m facin’ time

But I got six months clean and I’m holdin’ the line

Yeah, I danced with death, I was barely alive

But I crawled out the grave — now I’m tryin’ to thrive

Ain’t no cell gonna take what I built inside

I’m scarred, but I’m strong, and I’m still full of fight

No matter what they throw, I’mma stand and rise

Six months sober — I’m reclaimin’ my life

(Outro – Spoken)

You can lock my body…

But my mind is free

Six months sober — and that’s just the beginning

I ain’t done yet
