At seventeen, I was just a youngin' with dreams, Chasing after goals, trying to find my own means, In the city streets, where the struggle never ends, I had to hustle hard, just to make amends. No silver spoon, just a hunger in my eyes, Surviving every day, under these dark skies, I had to grind, pushin' through the pain and the strife, Striving for success, with every breath of life. At seventeen, I was a diamond in the rough, Aiming for the stars, never settled for enough, I knew the road was tough, but I had to persist, Determined to rise, I couldn't afford to resist. (Verse 2) At seventeen, I was learning life's lessons, Facing obstacles, making tough impressions, I saw the world with a different perspective, No longer naive, but still quite selective. Riding through the beats, with lyrics flowing free, Expressing my truth, through this rap symphony, I found solace in the rhythm, the beat, and the rhyme, Using my voice to make a change, one line at a time. Plotting on the scene, tryna make it, it seems No money in my pocket, but my mind was rich Writing rhymes every day, perfecting my pitch A hungry artist, grinding day and night 100 BPM, I'm spitting it tight No time for sleep, I'm chasing my goals Breaking down barriers, like a warrior on patrol I turned my pain into power, my struggle to fuel No longer a youngin', I'm breaking the rules The fire in my eyes, burning bright and fierce I'ma rise to the top, no matter how long it takes, no fear I put my heart on the track, story untold From the bottom to the top, I'ma break the mold (Verse 4) At seventeen, I was just a young dreamer Now I'm a rap god, a lyrical redeemer I've come so far, but I'm still on the rise No matter the odds, I'll never compromise I'm the voice of the youth, speakin' truth through my flow 110 BPM, watch my lyrics explode At seventeen, I had dreams, now they're reality I'm livin' my passion, makin' history
