(Intro - A distorted, industrial guitar riff with a heavy, trap-influenced beat, then a sudden shift to a clean, melancholic acoustic guitar melody)
(Verse 1 - Eminem-esque flow, rapid delivery, internal rhymes, and a touch of Jelly Roll's raw honesty)
Yo, lemme paint a picture, cracked asphalt, faded light,
Youth in a chokehold, survivin' every damn night.
Jumpin' off rooftops, blind faith, a reckless dive,
Livin' on the edge, barely stayin' alive.
Sneakin' round corners, shadows in the breeze,
Stolen cigarettes, whispers through the trees.
Streetlights hummin' stories, a signal to retreat,
Back to broken homes, where the cycle would repeat.
(Chorus - Jelly Roll-style vocals, raw and emotional, with a country-rock melody)
Said we wouldn't make it, buried in the pain,
Lost in the wreckage, caught in the hurricane.
But here we stand, scars etched in our soul,
Proof that we're unbroken, takin' back control.
It's the reminder, echo in the haze,
Of battles fought and won, through all the hazy days.
So whatever you're facin', whatever's tearin' you apart,
Remember what you've conquered, and you'll heal your broken heart.
(Verse 2)
Crushed dreams and nightmares, tangled in my mind,
Hidin' from the demons, the ones I left behind.
Lost keys and wallets, a metaphor for life,
Misplaced memories, cuttin' like a knife.
See, we thought we'd crumble, under the weight of fear,
That every single struggle, would bring our final year.
But we're still breathin', still fightin' for our place,
Wearin' every battle scar, etched upon our face.
(Chorus - Jelly's style vocals, raw, emotional, a country-rock melody and heavy back vocals)
Said we wouldn't make it, buried in the pain,
Lost in the wreckage, caught in the hurricane.
But here we stand, scars etched in our soul,
Proof that we're unbroken, takin' back control.
It's the reminder, echo in the haze,
Of battles fought and won, through all the hazy days.
So whatever you're facin', whatever's tearin' you apart,
Remember what you've conquered, and you'll heal your broken heart.
(Bridge - Spoken, rap intense, mix country rock melody)
Listen. they told us we were broken, that we were doomed to fail. That every scar was a sign of weakness. But they were wrong. These scars, they're not just wounds, they're a roadmap. A reminder of every damn fight we won. So, if you're out there, lost in the dark, remember this: You're stronger than you think. You've survived worse. You'll get through this.
(Chorus -JellyRollesq vocals, raw emotions, with a country-rock melody and heavy back vocals, intensity rises)
Said we wouldn't make it, buried in the pain,
Lost in the wreckage, caught in the hurricane.
But here we stand, scars etched in our soul,
Proof that we're unbroken, takin' back control.
It's the reminder, echo in the haze,
Of battles fought and won, through all the hazy days.
So whatever you're facin', whatever's tearin' you apart,
Remember what you've conquered, and you'll heal your broken heart.
(Outro- sound of kids laff)
