Real ones dwell

In the shadows where the real ones dwell, I rise, Heart heavy with the weight, but I still touch the skies. Echoes of the past, memories etched in my mind, Struggles like a puzzle, but I’m destined to find. Through the storm and the rain, I navigate the pain, Every loss and every gain, I embrace like a chain. Riders with me, we gon' hustle 'til the dawn, In this life, we stay strong, even when hope feels gone. I’ve been tested by the trials, but I won’t back down, With the fire in my soul, I wear this crown in the town. Melancholy in my verses, but the message is clear, Stand up for your dreams, let 'em know we here. Ain't no settling for less, I’m a king on this quest, With the heart of a lion, I’ll never lose my zest. As I shoot the breeze, and I blaze that gas, This for my riders, together we’ll outlast. In the shadows where the real ones dwell, I rise, Through the pain and the struggle, hear the whispers, no lies, Echoes of the past, where the lost souls collide, Every tear that I shed, like a river, it dries. Hustle hard in the night, while the daylight denies, Chasing dreams in the dark, where the hope slowly dies, But I’m gripping on tight, through the storms, I’ll survive, With the heart of a lion, got that fire inside. Memories haunt me like ghosts in the mist, In a world full of fakes, man, I’m hard to resist, Bearing burdens alone, through the silence I sift, In the depths of despair, it’s my spirit that lifts. Count the scars on my heart, each one tells a tale, Of the battles I fought, when the odds were so frail, Still I rise from the ashes, let the truth prevail, In the shadows I thrive, while the weak ones just pale.
