Lyrics

Look...
I remember when the floorboards used to scream back
Before the diamonds, before the contract
Just a kid with a shadow bigger than his body
Yeah
I'm looking at the calendar, the pages turn to dust
A basement full of secrets and a heart covered in rust
Twenty-fourteen, I was starving for a seat
Used to pray for rain just to wash the blood off the street
Mama working three jobs, I was working three schemes
Trying to find a balance 'tween the nightmares and the dreams
We didn't have a table, we just ate off of our laps
Mapping out the exits 'cause the neighborhood is traps
Years ago, I was drowning in the shallow end
Years ago, I didn't even have a hollow friend
They see the victory, they don't see the casualty
They see the luxury, they don't see the agony!
(I stayed down!) Years ago
(I prayed now!) Years ago
Wait—
Let's talk about the hunger, the literal kind
Where your stomach's doing backflips and you're losing your mind
I was pacing in the kitchen with a vision of a mission
But the system had me wishing I was missing from the living!
They told me "Stay in your lane," I built a highway instead
They told me "Rest in your bed," I put the industry to head
The pain wasn't a burden, no, the pain was the fuel
I was learning how to lead while they were stuck in the school!
