I was born in the city where the dreams are made of
Concrete jungle got me feeling like I’ m stuck in a maze bruh
Mama worked two jobs just to keep the lights on
Daddy left us said he needed space now he gone
School was tough teachers said I wouldn’ t make it
But I kept rhyming every night while the world was sleeping
Now I’ m here with a mic and a story to tell
From the bottom to the top yeah I know it too well
This is my life this is my fight
Every scar every wound shining under streetlight
I won’ t back down I won’ t fall
This is my city these are my walls
Seen my homies locked up for mistakes they made
Seen the system break em down till they fade away
But we stronger than the chains that they try to bind us
Louder than the lies that they feed to divide us
I got dreams bigger than these broken sidewalks
Got a voice that echoes through these dark hallways
They can try to stop me but they’ ll never break me
Cause my story’ s written in the rhymes that I make
This is my life this is my fight
Every scar every wound shining under streetlight
I won’ t back down I won’ t fall
This is my city these are my walls
