City of Pain

Chasin' dreams, I’m a fiend for the gold, Soul in my verses, every story unfolds, From the block where the cold hearts reside, Now I’m aiming for stages, let my spirit glide. Count my blessings, never stressin’ the past, Every lesson learned, like a shadow it casts, Hustle hard, gotta grind for the shine, With the weight of the world, but I’m feelin’ divine. Echoes of struggle, they whisper my name, In the city of pain, I’m igniting the flame, Savage with the pen, but I’m gentle with the beat, Turnin’ dreams into schemes, can’t accept defeat. From the gutter to the glamour, I’m breakin’ the mold, With a heart full of fire, and a spirit so bold, I want to be a star, let my legacy soar, In the rap game forever, I’m destined for more. In the city of pain, where the shadows reign, Echoes of the lost, but they don’t feel the same, Chasing dreams in the schemes, while they’re stacking the gains, But my soul’s in a cage, and my heart’s full of stains. Fighting through the struggle, yeah, I’m breaking the chains, Every tear that I shed, it’s like pouring rain, Voices in my head, got me stuck in this lane, But I rise from the ashes, like a phoenix untamed. They don’t see the hustle, just the scars on my frame, In a world full of liars, I’m the truth they can't tame, Spitting fire in the booth, let the fury explain, I’m the storm in the calm, let ‘em feel the disdain. With a rebel’s ambition, I’m igniting the flame, In a city of pain, but I’m changing the game, No more playing it plain, I’m embracing the rain, Let the world feel my wrath, as I dance in the pain. In the city where the shadows creep, dreams fade to gray, Hustlers in the alleys, got their hopes on delay, Every corner's a story, you can hear the whispers call, Survival of the fittest, but the weak take the fall. Grit in my veins, man, I’m built from the struggle, Dodging every bullet like I’m wrapped in a bubble, Concrete jungle, where the lions roam free, Echoes of the past, haunting memories of me. Lost souls wander, searching for a way out, Every step's a gamble, gotta live without doubt, Pain's a currency, and I'm rich in the debt, Countin' all my losses like a soldier in a sweat. From the rooftops, see the skyline of despair, Dreams dissolve like smoke, but I’m breathing the air, In this city of pain, we wear scars like pride, The heart of the struggle, where the real ones reside.
