lyrics

(Verse 1)

both my grand folks built their lives from from nothin
I guess it’s in my blood to be hustlin

slangin that yola to college kids, yeah they the best customers
but that’s easy pay, the easy way

I remember the day, my mama would say
that my grandfathers watching over me and probably been rolling in their grave

damn...
what can I say? do I really believe this the reason I’m breathin?
I think about future kids an what legacy am leavin?

is it all bout flippin these O Zs, running round stressin bout police
gotta get back on track, let go of the past, say that was the old me

addicted to that fast life, slow death, sippin that co dine, blow trees
gotta say No to the old homies, sometimes just stay low key

develop my craft, hella nights lonely
I believe ‘ll payoff in the end
yeah, I chose this life for the music,or maybe it chose me...

if I can just break out of this city, there’s so this world can show me
I can just break through the doubts in my mind that been try’n to control me

rebuild from the ground up, now I really know what my worth is
redefined purpose, all the sacrifice, now I know, it was worth it

(Chorus)

From here… I will walk without fear
I can see so clear
Tell me where do we go from here?
(repeat)

(Verse 2)

I been deep in the mines…. of my soul
got diamonds, had to find to bring back
it’s been a hell of a climb, I’ll never forget what I left behind

in my mind, scars of the memory
where the enemy still resides
will they remember me for my dark times
or remember me for my shine?

this redemption music I write, is my attempt to fuse my life
into these songs, hopin’ the people can use it, knowin one day I’ll be gone

in the physical, but then I’ll be home
for now, I’m livin strong
with a mission though
killin shows, flipping gold, that could put my whole city on

gotta stay sharp like obsidian
deallin wit snakes and pretty h*s
crossin’ my path, gotta stay focused
knowin any minute I’m soon to blow

out on the road, I'm doing shows...
hearing cats that I used to know... put salt in the air

thrown hate... that is all good...
as long as they know it aint mutual

it's been a long time coming, now I finally know
why the struggle so beautiful

over stand, Creator got the master plan
still I pray for the future though

overlooking the city, I write these flows
livin proof of the life I chose

spark that rise from the coals
enlighten the dark this the life I…. know

(Chorus)
