Hook:
Grew up overnight, yeah I had no choice
Life got loud, couldn’t hear my own voice
Lost loved ones, now I carry that pain
Steel bars, cold nights, standin’ in the rain
Heart full of scars, mind movin’ fast
Had to be a man way before my past
Verse 1:
Mama cried silent, I learned how to hide it
Bills on the table, no food inside it
Friends turn ghosts, caskets get heavy
I was just a kid but my soul wasn’t ready
Sirens at night were my lullaby
Hope in my chest but it’s buried inside
Learned how to fight before I learned trust
Love turned fake, dreams turned dust
Verse 2:
Thirteen with anger, sixteen with pain
Courtroom echoes sayin’ my name
Judge lookin’ down like I’m already lost
Freedom got a price, yeah I paid that cost
Steel doors slam, that sound don’t fade
Learned real quick who real, who playin’ charades
Letters from home sayin’ “hold your head”
But the nights get dark when you miss the dead
Hook:
Grew up overnight, yeah I had no choice
Life got loud, couldn’t hear my own voice
Lost loved ones, now I carry that pain
Steel bars, cold nights, standin’ in the rain
Heart full of scars, mind movin’ fast
Had to be a man way before my past
Verse 3:
Lost my momma, lost my sanity
Prayin’ for peace but it don’t answer me
Every grave taught me how to survive
Every loss took a piece of my pride
They say time heals but it only reminds
Of the nights I cried with my fists clenched tight
I don’t flex my pain, I wear it instead
Every tear I shed made me who I am
Bridge:
If I make it out, I’m bringin’ my scars
They part of the story, part of my bars
I ain’t perfect, I’m just still standin’
Broken past but my future demandin’
Final Hook / Outro:
Grew up overnight, yeah I had no guide
Just pain and dreams I kept locked inside
If you feel this, know you ain’t alone
We survived hell just to find our own
Life been hard but I’m still breathin’
Still believin’, still schemin’
