Not Everyone Rides

Intro — sometimes life drags you down but you gotta get up and show everyone you ain't letting that stop you Yeah… Came from a place where the sun don't shine, Had pain in my chest, had stress on my mind. They never saw the nights I cried, Now I'm tryna turn these tears to a better life. I told myself, “You can't give in.” Been through the dark, now I'm built to win. And if the whole world stands in my way… I'll find my path, I ain't stopping today. Came from the dark, now I'm chasing the light, Had a war in my head, had to win that fight. They put walls in my way, I'ma climb that height, Had to lose myself just to get my mind right. I won't fold, I won't break, no way, Ten toes down, gotta make my way. Had cold nights when I prayed for change, Now I'm turning that pain into fuel for the race. If I fall, get up, that's life, Still got dreams that I'm holding tight. They can talk, let 'em talk all day, I came from the bottom, I'ma rise my way. Seen friends switch sides when the pressure got deep, Had to learn that not everyone rides when you weak. Spent nights wide awake, couldn't get no sleep, Made a promise to myself that my soul ain't cheap. Mum said, “Son, keep your head up high,” Even when life puts tears in your eyes. Had to learn that the truth don't lie, And the strongest hearts are the ones that survive. I ain't doing this for likes or fame, I'm tryna give my family better days. Turn the hurt and the doubt into something great, I was lost in the storm, now I'm finding my way. No handouts, had to build my name, Took ten Ls, still I rose again. Every scar on my heart tells a story of pain, But the boy from the dark won't be stuck in the same place.
