Verse 1
Born and raised where the Peace runs wide,
GP sun and nowhere to hide.
Kicked up dust in childhood shoes,
Fighting battles I never fucking choose.
Kids came in ‘08, ‘10, and ‘18,
Hope in my arms when the world got mean.
Pre-Chorus
Spent years chasing bottles, lines at night,
Looking for peace in a losing fight.
Thought about giving up, lying down,
But my kids keep me hustling ‘round this town.
Chorus
I’ve been living hard on a long, cold street,
Sleeping in my truck, just fending for heat.
Lost too many friends, family faded away,
But I’m still here fighting for one more day.
My dreams ain’t dead, just fucking outta sight—
I'm trying to get better, still holding tight.
Verse 2
Abusive love, trust broken in two,
Found myself lost and didn’t know what to do.
Heard too many lies, seen too many falls,
But my babies’ voices pull me through it all.
They’re why I breathe when the pain cuts deep,
Why I hit my knees when I can’t fucking sleep.
Bridge
Buried best friends, watched loved ones go,
Cried alone in the dark where nobody would know.
Raised a fighter’s heart that won’t break,
Even when I’m tired and got too much at stake.
Rap Verse
Life keeps swinging, I keep standing,
Battle on my back, never understanding.
Scars on my soul but I still fucking try,
Tears in my eyes but I look to the sky.
I got trust issues, I’m bruised and worn,
But I live for my kids from the day they were born.
If survival’s a weapon, then call me armed,
Pain in my blood but my spirit’s charmed.
Chorus (repeat)
I’ve been living hard on a long, cold street,
Sleeping in my truck, just fending for heat.
Lost too many friends, family faded away,
But I’m still here fighting for one more day.
My dreams ain’t dead, just fucking outta sight—
I'm trying to get better, still holding tight.
Outro
Here’s to the fighters, beaten and scarred,
To the ones who keep going when life gets hard.
I’ll stand up again, even down on my knees—
For my kids, for my hope, till I finally breathe.
