I've been through the struggle, the pain and the strife But I ain't never gonna let it take away my life I keep my head up high, even when times get tough Cause I know deep down, I gotta be strong enough I come from the bottom, where the streets don't play But I rose up above it, found a better way I spit truth in the booth, speak from my heart Every word I say, it's like a work of art I've seen friends fall, enemies rise But I stay true to myself, never compromise I walk with a purpose, on this journey I strive To make a difference in this world, while I'm still alive I've been betrayed, stabbed in the back But I keep moving forward, ain't no turning back I'll keep fighting for justice, speaking out for the voiceless This is my life, and I'll never be voiceless.
