In this world of shattered dreams, I dwell Living in a dark place, my story I will tell With every beat that pulses, the pain I express Sadness is my canvas, emotions I confess Growing up, the struggle was my only friend Hustling hard, trying to make amends But the weight on my shoulders keeps dragging me down Lost in this rap game, feeling like a clowned Broken rhymes and shattered hopes in my soul Life's struggles keep spinning, taking its toll But I won't let it define me, I'll rise above the strife I'll turn my sorrow into gold, let my rap ignite Born into poverty, hard-knock life from the start Trying to find my way, but I keep falling apart Society's expectations, always knocking at my door But I'll prove them all wrong, leave 'em begging for more Loneliness surrounds me, scars etched deep in my mind As I navigate this game, seeking refuge I can't find But I pour my pain into these verses, my therapy Every word I spit is a testament of my reality Broken rhymes and shattered hopes in my soul Life's struggles keep spinning, taking its toll But I won't let it define me, I'll rise above the strife I'll turn my sorrow into gold, let my rap ignite The streets raised me, taught me how to survive But the sadness within, sometimes it feels like a live wire Music is my refuge, my escape from the pain In every beat and lyric, I find solace again I've seen too many friends get caught up in the grind Drugs, violence, and crime, the legacy they left behind But I won't succumb to the darkness, can't let it consume I'll be the voice of the broken, the ones society assumes I'll rise against the odds, make my mark, pave the way Proving that even in sadness, there's light at the end of the day Through my broken rhymes, I'll find strength to soar Turning my sorrow into music, forever I'll explore Broken rhymes and shattered hopes in my soul Life's struggles keep spinning, taking its toll But I won't let it define me, I'll rise above the strife I'll turn my sorrow into gold, let my rap ignite No longer trapped in sadness, I break free from the chains Embracing my uniqueness, recognizing my gains Through the power of rap, I reclaim my destiny Broken rhymes once shattered, now a testament to unity
