no heart

Grew up in the shadows, where the light barely shined, Daddys lost in the haze, mind twisted, unkind, Mommy out on the corner, selling love for a dime, Every tear that she drops, echoes pain in the rhyme. Vacant stares in the mirror, can’t escape from the past, Chasin' dreams that we lost, but the memories last, Used to laugh at the table, now it’s empty and cold, Stories told in the silence, too heavy to hold. Kids on the block, we just watch how it goes, Life's a cycle of struggle, everybody knows, Heart heavy with the weight, but I still gotta rise, Tryna break from the chains, see the hope in the skies. Every step that I take, feel the ghosts on my back, But I’m grindin' for the future, never fallin' off track, Countin' blessings while I’m stressin', I’m just searchin' for peace, In a world full of chaos, I just pray that it cease.
