mpment of meaning

] (Yeah...) It’s more than books and grades, it’s the grind behind the days, Gateway Tech in Racine — where I found my faise William Shirley, name ring out in these halls, Moment of meaning, this my story, my all... [Hook] I came from the struggle but I’m still here leanin’, Hard nights, cold dreams — now I see the meanin’, Gateway lights where my soul found reason, Racine built me — every scar, every season. (Yeah, yeah) Moment of meaning, can’t fake this feelin’, Turned all my pain to a higher ceilin’, Heart in the books, mind on the mission, College kid with a real-life vision. [Verse 1] First day walkin’ in, hoodie up, headphones loud, Didn’t know if I fit in, but I stood out from the crowd, No silver spoon, just hunger and grind, Gateway showed me I can rewrite my design. Studyin’ late, workin’ doubles just to eat, Mom callin’, sayin’, “Will, you need some sleep,” But I’m on that purpose path, can’t lose my aim, If you been through hell, then you know my flame. Friends from the block still tryna find peace, I found mine between them classroom seats, From the 262 to them Gateway dreams, Racine’s own — livin’ proof what grind means. [Hook] I came from the struggle but I’m still here leanin’, Hard nights, cold dreams — now I see the meanin’, Gateway lights where my soul found reason, Racine built me — every scar, every season. (Yeah, yeah) Moment of meaning, can’t fake this feelin’, Turned all my pain to a higher ceilin’, Heart in the books, mind on the mission, College kid with a real-life vision. [Verse 2] Walk through the halls, memories in my step, From lost kid to man, no regrets left, Met people that pushed me, teachers that cared, They saw the fire that I thought wasn’t there. Projects, finals, pressure on my chest, But diamonds form when they test your best, Late-night coffee and them 808 beats, I was studyin’ code while I studied these streets. Life’s a class, every L is a lesson, Gateway taught me more than a profession, It’s faith, patience, love, confession, Now I’m givin’ back — that’s my blessin’. [Bridge] Racine nights, yeah, we been through pain, But every raindrop turned into gain, Gateway signs on the side of the road, Remind me where I started, remind me I’ve grown. [Hook – Outro] I came from the struggle but I’m still here leanin’, Hard nights, cold dreams — now I see the meanin’, Gateway lights where my soul found reason, Racine built me — every scar, every season. (Yeah, yeah) Moment of meaning, can’t fake this feelin’, Turned all my pain to a higher ceilin’, Heart in the books, mind on the mission, William Shirley — the name, the vision. (Beat fades with
