lost in the struggle

Lost in the struggle, yeah, I'm searchin' for peace, Heart heavy with scars, feelin' trapped in the streets. Mama worked late, while I stayed in my room, Dreams faded away, like the light from the moon. Young and confused, watchin' friends turn to foes, Life's a cruel teacher, only pain that it shows. Lost a couple brothers, tears fall like the rain, Every single step, yeah, I'm walkin' through pain. Hustle for a dollar, but it’s harder to breathe, Chasin' empty promises, can’t believe what I see. Grew up too fast, but the past still remains, Echoes in my mind, like the sound of the chains. Tryna break free, but the weight's holdin' tight, Fightin' through the darkness, searchin' for the light. Life ain't a game, but I'm playin' my role, Learnin' from the struggle, yeah, I'm payin' my toll.
