[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, listen up,
This is for my people,
Dreams bigger than the struggle,
Don't count me out, let’s go.
[Verse 1]
Yo, born in the dust, where the sun don’t shine,
Streetlight dreams, got a vision in my mind,
Mama worked hard just to put food on the plate,
But I'm the type to rise, no matter the weight.
Broken shoes, holes in my clothes,
Every day I fight, dealing with the lows,
They label me poor, but my spirit is rich,
Higher goals set, I’m just waiting for my pitch.
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they say I won’t make it, they don’t see the light,
I’m painting my future, colors shining bright,
Just a boy with a dream, but they ain't on my side,
Watch me climb these walls, let my passion be my guide.
[Chorus]
I’m more than my struggles, I’m reaching for the stars,
No one believes, but I’m breaking these bars,
Hustle through the rain, got my eyes on the prize,
Poor don’t mean I can’t rise, I’ll be wise to the lies.
[Verse 2]
Every no is a challenge, every doubt fuels the flame,
This life’s a hard game, but I’m done with the shame,
I wear my hunger like a crown, take a look at my grind,
This heart beats the same, no matter the kind.
Got dreams of success, while they laugh in my face,
But I carry ambition, that can’t be replaced,
Long nights, cold streets, but I’m never backing down,
Gonna turn this life around, wear victory like a crown.
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they say I won’t make it, they don’t hear my call,
But the world’s my canvas, and I’m ready to scrawl,
Keep my head held high, let my actions speak loud,
In the chaos and the noise, I’ll be standing proud.
[Chorus]
I’m more than my struggles, I’m reaching for the stars,
No one believes, but I’m breaking these bars,
Hustle through the rain, got my eyes on the prize,
Poor don’t mean I can’t rise, I’ll be wise to the lies.
[Bridge]
Yeah, the journey’s long, but the fight’s never done,
With every single heartbeat, I’m getting it done,
From the shadows, I emerge, let the world feel my spark,
The anthem of the dreamers breaking through the dark.
[Outro]
So when they see me fly, tell the world I came from,
A kid with a vision, now I’m ready to run,
No matter the doubters, I’ll reach for the sun,
In my own little way, yeah, the victory’s begun.
