Yeah
This one's for the broken homes
For the voices that never got heard
I turned my pain into poetry
Now listen
I was raised where the sirens sing lullabies
Concrete jungle, under blood-red skies
Mama worked late, daddy walked away
Learned young that love could drift and fade
Public schools with broken glass and rust
Teachers gave up, told us not to trust
They judged my skin, my slang, my shoes
Told me my dreams were dreams I'd lose
But I held on tight to every rhyme I wrote
Used pain as ink, turned struggle to hope
Got chased by cops, yeah, I've seen that cell
But I never let the system write my tale
From the gutter to the stage, I found my name
Through the fire and the rain, I rose from shame
Every verse I spit, a scar that speaks
Turned my silence into strength, now the broken seek
I was lost, I was down, now I stand so tall
Rap saved my life, it gave me it all
I seen brothers fade to the streets or the grave
But I chose the mic, the only thing that stayed
Beats in my chest when my heart was cold
Told my story bold, let the truth unfold
Used to cry in the dark, now I light up shows
Turn pain into poems, let the healing flow
No silver spoon, no hand to hold
But I turned these wounds into solid gold
Now the crowd sings words I wrote in tears
Feel my soul in their hearts, breaking through the years
A voice for the voiceless, that's who I be
If I made it out, then you can be free
From the gutter to the stage, I found my name
Through the fire and the rain, I rose from shame
Every verse I spit, a scar that speaks
Turned my silence into strength, now the broken seek
I was lost, I was down, now I stand so tall
Rap saved my life, it gave me it all
They told me I'd be nothin'
Now they sing my words
This is more than music
This is survival
