(Heavy beat drops in, a soulful, melancholic sample underneath)
**(Verse 1)**
Yo, concrete bred us, steel will fed us, ain't no fairytale bliss
Just cracked pavement narratives, sealed with a desperate kiss.
Used to run with the **gang**, a brotherhood born of the grime,
Clutchin' to scraps of power, stealin' back stolen time.
But the echo chamber hollowed, the loyalty turned to rust,
Realized the only empire built was on shattered trust.
This ain't a sob story, nah, this the shedding of the skin,
Recognizin' the cage we built, the darkness livin' within.
**(Chorus)**
They tried to bury us under the weight of the struggle's curse,
But the spirit resilient, breakin' free from what's worse.
No more drownin' the pain in cheap **rum**'s hazy embrace,
No more inhalin' the lies, the **cocaine**'s empty chase.
We rise from the ashes, a fire in the soul ignited,
The chains are broken, the future's own story, rewritten.
**(Verse 2)**
Saw sisters caught in the cycle, the cold and lonely trade,
Labeled "**hooker**," judged and scorned, their dignity betrayed.
But beneath the painted mask, a warrior's fierce desire,
To reclaim their narrative, to set their own souls higher.
This ain't about condonin', it's about seein' the fight,
The will to break the shackles, to step into the light.
Every scar a testament, every tear a potent plea,
For a world that offers freedom, and a chance to truly be.
**(Chorus)**
They tried to bury us under the weight of the struggle's curse,
But the spirit resilient, breakin' free from what's worse.
No more drownin' the pain in cheap **rum**'s hazy embrace,
No more inhalin' the lies, the **cocaine**'s empty chase.
We rise from the ashes, a fire in the soul ignited,
The chains are broken, the future's own story, rewritten.
**(Bridge)**
Seven years in the shadows, seven years wearin' the mask,
But the hunger for somethin' real, too powerful to ask
Permission for a new beginning, a chance to redefine,
To leave the ghosts behind us, and a better self to find.
This ain't about escapin', it's about facin' the truth,
And buildin' somethin' solid, plantin' seeds of our youth,
In fertile ground, where hope can blossom, fierce and untamed,
A legacy of survival, a future unashamed.
**(Chorus)**
They tried to bury us under the weight of the struggle's curse,
But the spirit resilient, breakin' free from what's worse.
No more drownin' the pain in cheap **rum**'s hazy embrace,
No more inhalin' the lies, the **cocaine**'s empty chase.
We rise from the ashes, a fire in the soul ignited,
The chains are broken, the future's own story, rewritten.
**(Outro)**
Yeah, rewritten. No more victims, just survivors standin' tall.
Breakin' the cycle, answerin' a higher call.
The streets ain't our master, the shadows ain't our home.
We buildin' our own kingdom, plantin' seeds we can own.
Word.
