(Verse 1) I was raised in the struggle, where the pain was deep, Hustlin' on the corners, where the fiends would creep, All the shit I loved, it just turned to dust, Lost some homies to the streets, it's a constant fuss. Grew up fast, no time for innocence, Seen too much violence, too many instances, Mama workin' double shifts, tryna make ends meet, But the bills kept piling, couldn't catch a beat. Had to learn the game, navigate the streets, Survival of the fittest, where they play for keeps, All the shit I loved, it's a double-edged sword, Some days I'm feelin' blessed, some days I'm feelin' bored. (Verse 2) In this life of sin, I had to find my way, Runnin' with the wolves, tryna stay out the fray, All the shit I loved, it was just a mirage, Dreams shattered like glass, left me feelin' large. Friends turned to foes, loyalty was scarce, Had to cut 'em loose, it was only fair, All the shit I loved, it faded in the dark, But I'm still standin', got that fire, that spark. Through the trials and tribulations, I remain strong, Carry the weight of the world, like a king on his throne, All the shit I loved, it molded who I am, From the bottom of the barrel, now I'm risin' like a lamb. (Verse 3) I've seen the darkest nights, felt the coldest rain, But I never gave up, I never played the lame, All the shit I loved, it's a bittersweet symphony, Chasing after dreams, tryna find my own remedy. The pain fuels the fire, motivates my grind, I'ma shine regardless, leave my legacy behind, All the shit I loved, it's a constant reminder, To stay true to myself, be a real survivor. In this game of life, I'm playin' for keeps, Keep my circle tight, stay away from the creeps, All the shit I loved, it's a part of my story, NBA YoungBoy, risin' to glory. Use in Studio or Regenerate
