Striving

I've had tough times That I'll never forget Have I had enough well, I don't fuckin know yet That's the mantra on repeat when I'm walkin' down the street, Every victory i earned, every bitter taste that's sweet. Cause the ink on the page is the place where i escape, From the ghosts in the shadow, from the demons that take shape I will not forget the struggle, and that's my honest plea, 'Cause the struggle is the fuel that keeps on drivin' me. i remember cold nights, with the bills piled high, The weight of the world sittin' heavy i often wonder why. Felt the floor drop out, more than once, felt the shockwave, Had to dig my own self right up out my own grave. Every moment tested, every lesson learned by fire, Climbin' out the wreckage, pushin' through the smoke and higher. They say that pressure busts pipes, but it also makes the diamond, I was chokin' on the dust, but I kept on fuckin climbin'. ​I've had tough times That I'll never forget Have I had enough I don't fuckin know yet ​That's the mantra on repeat when I'm walkin' down the street, Every victory i earned, every bitter taste that's sweet. ​Cause the ink on the page is the place where i escape, From the ghosts in the shadow, from the demons that take shape.

It's a heavy load, brother, tryna navigate the maze, But you gotta keep your chin up, focus on the brighter days. everybody's fightin' battles you don't fuckin see, The difference is who steps back up when they're down on their knees.. But the pain is the compass, pointin' toward the strength I hide, Every scar is a chapter, every tear shows I survived.
