pains to strive

### Verse 1 Cold nights, cold heart, short instead of highyeah,occurring I wear the scars, Abandoned dreams, reaching for the stars. Betrayed by those loved I trusted, now it’s hard to feel, Isolated in this silence, got my heart in a caged up locked away ### Hook Protecting my soul, can’t let no one in again, Dumb to trust too easy, learned that lesson, hard way Rising stepping up from where they tried to burry me rising I’m taking flight, Blessed with what I got, but I’m aiming for the new height. ### Verse 2 Contentment’s , always just out of reach, Hard work’s the foundation, it’s the grind we preach. Never giving up, till my last breath, I’ll fight, Chasing dreams I’ll shine through the night. ### Bridge Life’s a hustle, struggle, but I’m breaking my chains, Every setback’s a setup for my comeback gains. Keep my eyes on the prize, I’m destined to achieve, believe With every step I take, I’m closer ### Outro So here’s to the journey, with the pain and the strive I’ll rise , it’s my time for life. No more looking back, just the road ahead, With a heart full of hope, I’ll conquer instead.
