become someone

Verse 1: I grew up in the hood, where the streets were cold Where the only way to survive was to be bold I saw my friends get caught up in the game But I knew I had to rise above the pain Chorus: Living in the hood, where the guns go bang But I'm just tryna make a change I won't let the streets define me I'm gonna rise up and shine, you'll see Verse 2: I saw the drugs and the violence all around But I knew I had to stand my ground I had dreams of making it out And I wasn't gonna let anyone doubt Chorus: Living in the hood, where the guns go bang But I'm just tryna make a change I won't let the streets define me I'm gonna rise up and shine, you'll see Bridge: I've been through the struggle, I've been through the pain But I know I'm destined for greater things I won't let the hood hold me back I'm gonna rise up and attack Chorus: Living in the hood, where the guns go bang But I'm just tryna make a change I won't let the streets define me I'm gonna rise up and shine, you'll see Outro: I may have grown up in the hood But I'm gonna make it out for good I'll never forget where I came from But I'm gonna rise up and become someone.
