rise above

music I gotta make it, spent one night in the box, couldn’t take it Me and my homie, yeah, we out and we made it Running through the night, yeah, dreams keep us pacing Nothing in our pockets, just a vision we’re chasing Look around the hood, it’s a battle every day People say they down, but most drift away Kept my head up, even when they tried to play Now I’m stacking moves, watch the struggle fade to gray From the bottom, yeah, we climed out the mud Life tried to drown us, but we swam through the flood Pushing through the pain, yeah, that’s word to my blood Can’t stop, won’t stop, till we rise above In the shadows, but we reaching for the light Every wrong turn taught me how to fight Built from the hustle, born for the heights We gon’ make it out, yeah, that’s on sight
