When the tables are turned

When the tables are turned, watch the fire ignite, Used to be the one on the corner, now I’m ready to fight, Life's a game of chess, I was pawn, now I’m the king, Every struggle I faced, gave me strength, made me swing. From the bottom I rose, now I’m breaking the mold, Stories of the streets, in my heart, they unfold, Enemies surround me, but my vision stays clear, Used to fear the dark nights, now I’m owning my fears. Lessons learned in the chaos, wisdom from the pain, Once a victim of the system, now I’m breaking the chain, Got my brothers by my side, we rise and we grind, When the tables are turned, it’s a new state of mind. No more looking back, I’m focused on my climb, In the land of the lost, I’m a beacon, I shine, From the ashes I emerge, like a phoenix in flight, When the tables are turned, I’m embracing the fight.
