I came from the bottom, now I'm on top of the charts,

I came from the bottom, now I'm on top of the charts, Cold nights in the dark, it was tearing my heart apart, Survival of the fittest, learned to play my own part, Too harsh in the streets, got me feeling like a work of art. Countin' every blessing while I'm dodging the stress, Enemies lurking, but I’m ready for the test, Life's a game of chess, gotta think like a king, Too harsh, but I’m sharp, hear the truth when I sing. Streets taught me lessons, left a mark on my soul, Had to hustle hard, now I'm stacking the gold, They don’t understand the pain that I hold, Too harsh, but I’m bold, in this life, I’m controlled. Rollin' with the real, never backin' down the fight, Nightmares in my mind, but I'm chasin' the light, Too harsh, but I rise, like a phoenix in flight, Savage in the game, always ready for the bite.
