Misled

They told me dreams are free, but the price is my soul, In the shadows of the city, where the truth takes a toll, Misled by the whispers, got my vision all blurred, Chasing after shadows, man, it’s hard to be heard. Streets painted with lies, like graffiti on walls, Trust is a dice game, every roll could be falls, Caught up in the cycle, where the pain feels like home, Lost brothers in the struggle, they ain't never alone. Heart heavy with the weight of the world on my chest, Searching for the light, but the darkness won't rest, They said the sky's the limit, but I’m grounded in grime, Living life on the edge, every moment's a crime. Misguided by the hustle, where the real ones get played, Navigating through the fog, in the choices I made, But I rise like the sun, through the trials I tread, With the fire in my spirit, I won’t stay misled.
