pain n dat

(Verse 1) I’m rising from the shadows, where the pain don’t show, Dreams of gold chains, but the struggle’s moving slow. Nightmares haunt me, but I’m grinding through the dark, Every verse a dagger, every line, I leave a mark. In the alley where the lost souls roam¹ free, Got my mind on the prize, but the world’s out to see. Hustle hard, I’m a soldier with a pen in hand, Painting pictures of the struggle, trying to make a stand. (Verse 2) City lights flicker, but my vision stays clear, Echoes of the past whispering in my ear. I’m spitting truth, while the fake ones fall apart, I want to be a star, but I’m playing my own part. From the gutter to the stage, I’m breaking through the mold, With a heart full of fire, and a story to be told. Dark nights, bright dreams, yeah, I’m aiming for the top, In a world so cold, but my spirit can’t be stopped.
