In the shadows where my doubts used to creep,

In the shadows where my doubts used to creep, Now I’m packing heat, no retreat, just the street’s heartbeat. Conversations with my demons, they whisper and scheme, Used to be a dreamer, now I’m living the theme. Got a past that’s a puzzle, pieces scattered in grime, Fighting battles with my mind, but the hustle’s divine. Used to second guess, now I’m stepping with pride, Rolling deep with the squad, got my fears on the side. Enemies in my head, but I’m sharper than blades, Used to run from the truth, now I’m making parades. Every scar’s a lesson, every wound’s a degree, From the corner to the throne, now they all wanna see. I’m the king of the struggle, with a crown made of pain, Used to hide from the rain, now I’m dancing in fame. Life’s a chess game, and I’m moving the pieces, Battled with myself, now I’m reaping the leases.
