Lyrics

Yo, this for the kids who've been through every chapter
From food stamps to fake friends to fast cash to finding yourself
Let me talk to you
Born broke but I was rich in the soul
Mama held it down with the heat off and the cold
Pops work nights, didn't sleep, never fold
We ain't have much but the love never sold
Hand me down kicks, yeah they laughed at the creases
Lunchbox empty, just praying to Jesus
Moved to the Burbs, thought I'd bring some reliefs
But the kids had money and they tore me to pieces
New school, I ain't fitting with the rest
White boy broke jokes, pain in my chest
Kept my head down, books in my desk
Trying to find peace in a system that's a test
They never knew what I'd grow to be
From the shadows they threw, now I rose in peace
Made of stones but I move like seas
Thirty summers deep and I finally see
Poverty hit, now I'm tall with a voice
Girls wanna talk, now I got a new choice
Same bullies wanna dap like we boys
Now I remember y'all laughs, fake noise
Senior year glow, I was lit with the pen
Bars in my journal, paint turned into gems
Graduated clean, walked the stage like a king
But college came quick and it flipped everything
Tuition too high so I made me a plan
Grabbed a little green, started weighing in grams
Dorm room trap, I was flipping the lift
Just enough profit, put food in the fridge
Late nights in the dark but I found light
Study in the day, grinded past midnight
Scholar in the hustle up, both sides real
Success in the shadows, paid them bills
They never knew what I'd grow to be
From the shadows they threw, now I rose in peace
Made of stones but I move like seas
Thirty summers deep and I finally see
Cap and gown dreams, now the real world's here
Clock can't count, man the freedom disappear
Boss on my neck, bill stack every year
Friends fade out, now the silence is clear
Used to feel love, now it's all fake likes
Instagram fame but no one here tonight
Got caught once, had to leave that life
Sat down with myself, had to make shit right
Therapy sessions and journal confessions
Rewrote the script, no more second guessing
Cut off the snakes, cleaned up my circle
Found my real voice, now the vision ain't purple
You ever look in the mirror and I know the man looking back
Yeah, I been there
But I ain't stay there
Now I'm thirty with a backbone made of stone
Earned every scar, every cut, every bone
Learned how to build from the dust and the ash
Now I teach kids how to run from the trap
A mentor, a brother, a partner, a son
From project hearts to the power of one
Love ain't in chains, it's in freedom and truth
Now I move wise and still speak for the youth
Got my name on the desk, got a seat at the table
Write my own checks, tell my own fables
Ain't perfect but I'm here still walking this road
With thirty summers behind me and many more to go
They never knew what I'd grow to be
From the shadows they threw, now I rose in peace
Made of stones but I moved like seas
Thirty summers deep and I finally see
To anyone still lost in the middle chapters
Keep turning the page
There's light ahead
I promise
