Intro]
Yeah…
Mm, yeah
Heart cold, streets hot
I been runnin’ nonstop
[Chorus]
I been fightin’ my demons in the dark of the night
Mama prayin’ for me, I’m just tryna live right
They be smilin’ in my face but be hatin’ inside
I keep my circle real small, yeah, I keep it tight
I done bled for this pain, I done cried for this life
If I fall, I get up, yeah, I’m ready to fight
They don’t love you when you broke, only love when you bright
So I shine for myself, yeah, I shine every night
[Verse 1]
Came from the bottom where the trust real thin
Had to learn quick who fake, who kin
Lost a few friends, yeah, it cut real deep
Had nights I ain’t eat, couldn’t even sleep
I was young with a dream, but the streets too loud
Too many sirens, too many crowds
Heart full of scars, but my head stay proud
I ain’t fold under pressure, I stood my ground
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t know what I seen
They don’t know what it cost
Every win came pain
Every lesson a loss
[Chorus]
I been fightin’ my demons in the dark of the night
Mama prayin’ for me, I’m just tryna live right
They be smilin’ in my face but be hatin’ inside
I keep my circle real small, yeah, I keep it tight
I done bled for this pain, I done cried for this life
If I fall, I get up, yeah, I’m ready to fight
They don’t love you when you broke, only love when you bright
So I shine for myself, yeah, I shine every night
[Verse 2]
I ain’t perfect, I know, I got sins on my soul
Tryna heal old wounds that I never told
I was lost in my head, had my back to the wall
Now I stand ten toes, I ain’t scared to fall
If I make it out clean, I’ma bring my fam
Put food on the table with these shaky hands
I been tested by life, I been pushed to the edge
Still I talk to God every night before bed
[Outro]
Yeah…
Pain made me strong
Love made me weak
But I’m still here
