I'm from the city where dreams come alive But also where some people barely survive Cansas, where the streets are cold Where the stories of struggle never get old Grew up in the hood, had to hustle for a meal Every day was a battle, trying to make a deal But I never gave up, kept pushing through Cause in Cansas, that's just what you gotta do Raised in the struggle, but I never backed down I wear my scars like a king with a crown Cansas made me who I am today A survivor, a fighter, in every single way I've seen the worst, but I still believe That one day I'll make it, I'll finally achieve My dreams, my goals, my destiny Cansas, you'll never break the best in me
