Woke up in the city where the neon lights bleed
Concrete jungle whispers planting doubts like seeds
Used to chase the sunrise now I'm chasing ghost
Another empty victory another midnight toast
Skyscrapers touching clouds but my roots in the pavement
Every scar tells a story every wound worth the placement
They said"Boy know your place"but I rewrote the pages
Now my rage turns to wisdom through the endless stages
Yeah I'm fighting shadows in the alley of my mind
Where the demons and the angels intertwine
Every loss is a lesson every scar is a design
I'll rise through the ashes make the stars align
This ain't just a rap it's a war cry in the silence
Turn my pain into power break the violence
I'm the king of my chaos in this temporary palace
My pen is the sword my words are the chalice
Seen friends turn to strangers in the blink of an eye
Heard promises shatter like glass from up high
Money talks loud but it never fills the void
Success is a mask that I carefully avoid
They sell you fake dreams in a golden wrapper
But real ones are forged in fire no mere chapter
I walk through the storm with my head in the clouds
My voice is the thunder screaming proud and loud
Yeah I'm fighting shadows in the alley of my mind
Where the demons and the angels intertwine
Every loss is a lesson every scar is a design
I'll rise through the ashes make the stars align
This ain't just a rap it's a war cry in the silence
Turn my pain into power break the violence
I'm the king of my chaos in this temporary palace
My pen is the sword my words are the chalice
They tried to box me in label me"underdog"
But I'm the storm they never saw I'm the final log
On the fire that'll burn the old ways down
Watch me build an empire from the lost and found
No fairy tales no knights in shining armor
Just a soul that refused to be a charmer
I dance with my demons I kiss my fears
I've been drowning in doubt for too many years
So let the beat drop like my guards down
I'm still standing here in this lost town
With a mic in my hand and a dream in my chest
I'll rap till my last breath pass the test
