Lyrics
Verse 1:
Born in the shadows where the sun don't shine,
Concrete jungle, hustle, it's a daily grind,
Mama's tears falling, daddy's doing time,
I'm a product of the system, trying to redefine.
School of hard knocks, lessons learned the hard way,
Dreams deferred, but I'm fighting for a better day,
Survival mode, every night I kneel and pray,
For the chains to break, for the darkness to sway.
Chorus:
I'm breaking these chains, rising from the pain,
From the ashes I rise, no more skies of rain,
From the shadows I emerge, breaking free from the curse,
Writing my own story, every line, every verse.
Verse 2:
Young soul with an old mind, wisdom of the streets,
Dodging bullets, hearing whispers, hearts with no beats,
Lost brothers in the system, concrete tombs,
Mothers crying over caskets, life's harsh tunes.
Tales of the forgotten, dreams left in the gutter,
But I rise like the phoenix, no longer will I stutter,
Echoes of my past, but my future's getting brighter,
Writing my destiny, I'm the author, the fighter.
Chorus:
I'm breaking these chains, rising from the pain,
From the ashes I rise, no more skies of rain,
From the shadows I emerge, breaking free from the curse,
Writing my own story, every line, every verse.
Bridge:
Brick by brick, I'm building a new path,
No more shadows, no more aftermath,
Echoes of my struggle, but I wear them like a crown,
From the bottom to the top, I won't be held down.
Voices of my people, they resonate within,
Every victory, every loss, it's where I begin,
From the hood to the heights, my story unfolds,
In the heart of the struggle, a new legacy is told.
Verse 3:
Now I'm standing tall, scars tell my tale,
From the prison of my past, I set sail,
For every tear shed, every broken dream,
I'm crafting a future, where my soul's redeemed.
Hustle and heart, that's the mantra I keep,
For every lost soul, for the ones who weep,
We rise from the ashes, together we stand,
Breaking every chain, reclaiming our land.
Chorus:
I'm breaking these chains, rising from the pain,
From the ashes I rise, no more skies of rain,
From the shadows I emerge, breaking free from the curse,
Writing my own story, every line, every verse.
Outro:
So here's to the dreamers, the ones who never quit,
For every step forward, for every hit,
We rise from the shadows, breaking every chain,
Our stories will live on, through the joy and the pain.
