(intro)
Out abundance of the heart the mouth shall speak. we all have a story to tell. The hell I've experienced had had many moments of heartfelt memories. Here is a page from my mental. Pure expression that is a rare share. This my friend is a rare gem take heed
(Verse 1)
By the railroad tracks where the smoke runs deep
Fairfield nights, and I barely sleep
Fetty in the foil, crystal in the glass
Tryna numb the future, haunted by the past
Eyes wide open but my soul felt blind
Lost so much, nearly lost my mind
Two-faced smiles, tryna see me slip
But I grip tighter, I don’t ever trip
(Chorus)
Still I rise with the sun on my back
Through withdrawals, through hate, never lack
I got Nikki, my goddess, my flame
She ride through the storm, never switched, never changed
Few real ones, rest fell off
They’d watch me drown, cold and soft
But I respect the struggle, salute the pain
I made it out dirty, now I dance in the rain
(Verse 2)
Crystal smoke like a ghost in my chest
Hit that foil, prayed for rest
But God don’t answer when you’re stuck that deep
Had to find my soul in the darkest heat
Fake friends came with a helping hand
But had knives tucked, couldn’t understand
I ain't proud of the nights I bled
But I’m proud that I’m here when they thought I was dead
(Chorus)
Still I rise with the sun on my back
Through withdrawals, through hate, never lack
I got Nikki, my goddess, my flame
She ride through the storm, never switched, never changed
Few real ones, rest fell off
They’d watch me drown, cold and soft
But I respect the struggle, salute the pain
I made it out dirty, now I dance in the rain
(Bridge)
Nikki, my goddess, my light in the dark
She stayed when I was broken and falling apart
When the world turned cold and my mind went black
She pulled me back, never let me crack
Now I build from the ashes, stronger each day
Every scar I carry, a price I pay
But I’m here, I’m breathing, I’m writing my song
In Fairfield, still standing, where I belong
By the tracks, yeah, that’s where it began
But I walk with a purpose, a stronger man
No more chains, no more lies
Only truth in my heart and fire in my eyes
I respect the struggle, I carry the weight
But I’m climbing the ladder, I’m sealing my fate
And when they look back, they’ll know my name
From the ashes of Fairfield—I rose from the flame.
To the ones still stuck in that fetty fog
You ain’t weak, you just lost in the smog
But there’s light — I seen it through her eyes
Nikki held me while I cried
Foil burns, but love heals slow
She helped me break that undertow
Now I rise like a king from the ash
Still scarred, still bold, still built to last
(Outro)
Tracks of Fairfield, yeah that’s my root
But I turned my pain into power, truth in my boot
From the fetty to the fire, I paid my dues
Now I walk clean, no more excuse
Still respect the game, I don’t shame the fall
But I stand tall now — I want it all
They’ll remember my name, they’ll speak it proud
From the tracks I rose, through the pain, unbowed.
