the struggle

We grew up in the struggle, hustle tight like a vice, Sister set the tone, taught us how to roll the dice, Brothers by my side, we were thick as thieves, In the shady streets, chasing dreams, never naïve. Late nights on the block, spitting rhymes under stars, Sister held it down, showed us how to raise the bars, From the cradle to the chaos, we were born to survive, With her guiding light, man, we learned how to thrive. Echoes of the past still resonate in my mind, Remembering the laughter, leaving the pain behind, Brothers in the booth, spitting truth like a flame, Sister's spirit lives on, in this life, we're the same. Every step we take, got her wisdom in our stride, Through the ups and downs, we gon' always ride, Raw and uncut, like the tales that we tell, Together we rise, man, together we fell. Came from the dirt, now we rise like the sun, Lessons in the pain, every scar's a home run, Dreams stitched together, threads of the grind, Echoes of the past, but the future’s aligned. Hustle tight like a vice, can't afford to slip, Navigating these streets, every corner's a trip, Had to learn the hard way, life’s a twisted game, Still we shine bright, igniting the flame. Broke bread with the fam, loyalty's a must, Built a castle from rubble, turned pain into trust, Chasing after visions, we ain't never lost sight, Stars in our eyes, we ignite the night. From the shadows we rise, resilience our might, Echoes of the struggle, now we taking flight, Counting all the blessings, never counting the cost, In a world full of chaos, we the ones never lost. We grew up in the struggle, hustle tight like a vi, Dodging shadows in the alley, where the dreams often die, Streetlights flicker, but the vision stays vivid, Running laps around the pain, man, we never got timid. Cold nights, warm hearts, we ignited the fire, Built from the grit, never tired of the wire, Came from the bottom, now we climbing the spire, Stacking every dollar, take the risk, never shy, From the block to the booth, yeah, we penning our fate, With a heart full of hope, and a mind that won’t wait, Every line's a testament, we rise to the bait, Kings in our kingdom, watch us elevate. No regrets in the rearview, eyes set on the prize, We maneuver through the chaos, wisdom sharp as a knife, Legends in the making, we redefine the grind, With the world in our palms, yeah, you’re seeing us shine. thine fine
