fixed To get a higher placement, Life is hard, But I’ll make it, I can’t wait a long time I’m anxious, I’ve just gotta get off The pavement, So they hear me across The nation, Life is hard. In the struggle where the mud's thick, visions turn to gold, Heart of a lion, in this jungle, never fold, Life's a riddle, every step's a game of dice, Conviction in my spirit, pay the cost, think twice. Swangin' through the darkness, rain drips on the hood, Astros in the sky, wishin’ for the greater good, 80 baby, raised where the streets tell a tale, Echoes of the past, but I’m destined not to fail. Hustlin' dreams, I’m a soldier in the fight, Thuggin' through the shadows, searchin' for the light, Life's a canvas, paint it with the truth I bring, Hypnotic in my flow, feel the rhythm as I sing. Every tear I shed, like a raindrop on the ground, Strength in my conviction, hear the echoes all around, In the depths of struggle, I found a way to rise, Through the storm and the pain, see the fire in my eyes. Life's a struggle, shadows lurk where dreams fade, Chasin' hope in the chaos, every step feels like a crusade. Heart heavy, buried deep under burdens I carry, Every tear I shed's a testament, it’s hard to be merry. Streets whisper secrets, echoes of the lost souls, In the game of survival, we play our destined roles. Caged in despair, but I’m breakin' these chains, Risin' from the ashes, I’m ignitin' the flames. Fate’s a dealer, but I’m callin' my hand, With a vision so clear, I’m the man with a plan. Through the trials and the pain, I’m sculptin' my fate, In this labyrinth of life, I navigate and create. Lost a few brothers, memories etched in my mind, But I rise like the sun, leavin' darkness behind. With each verse I spit, I’m painting my scars, In a world full of struggle, I’m reachin' for stars.
