East. 14

Life is hard, Hope I make it, It’s a risk, But I’ll take it, Feeling like I’m living Stuck in the basement, I’m just trying To get a higher placement, Life is hard, But I’ll make it, I can’t wait a long time I’m anxious, I’ve just gotta get off The pavement, So they hear me across The nation, Life is hard. Life's a struggle, every day’s a new fight, Chasin' dreams in the shadows, searchin' for the light, Got the weight of the world, feel it pressin' on my chest, But I rise like the sun, never settle for less. Countin' scars like trophies, wear 'em proud on my skin, Lessons learned in the fire, that’s where growth begins, Hustle hard in the dark, while they sleepin' on the grind, Mind sharp like a blade, cuttin' ties that bind. Streets whisper secrets, got my heart in a cage, Paintin' pictures with pain, every chapter a page, Dodgin' pitfalls and traps, keep my spirit intact, In a world full of lies, I’m just searchin' for facts. Chasin' hope in the struggle, never fold under pressure, Life's a canvas of chaos, I’m the art, I'm the measure, Through the storms and the trials, I’ll emerge with a spark, Life’s hard, but I’m built like steel, leave my Mark. dark park bark arc
