hard knocks of life

I rise from the struggle, where the shadows dwell, Came up from the bottom, now I’m ringing bells, Dreams on my mind, yeah, I’m chasing fate, You see my grind, don’t you dare hate. Wisdom in my verses, life’s a school of hard knocks, Counting all my blessings, while you’re counting socks, Vision so clear, like a diamond in the rough, You’re stuck in the past, man, I’m too tough. Pushing through the doubt, gotta elevate my game, Every step I take, I’m igniting the flame, Your envy’s a chain, I’m breaking free, Don’t hate me because you ain’t me. I’m painting my future, colors vivid and bright, While you throw shade, I’m embracing the light, Rise above the noise, let the world see, The power of the dreamer, that’s the key to be.
