*(Intro)* Yeah… From the wrong side, yeah… Still made it out though *(Verse 1)* Grew up where the streetlights flicker, dreams feel delayed Cracked sidewalks, mama stressin’, bills never paid Sirens sing lullabies, yeah, that’s how we slept Every dollar hard-earned, every promise kept Corner store wisdom, learned more than in class Life moved fast, had to grow up real fast They said “stay in your lane,” but the lane was a trap So I mapped my own route, put the city on my back Cold nights, same hoodie, same hunger inside Friends turned ghosts, yeah, I still wonder why But I kept that fire, never let it fade Even when the odds had a price on my name *(Hook)* From the wrong side of the tracks, where the pain don’t hide Where you either sink slow or you fight to survive Yeah, we came from the bottom, now we aiming at the sky Wrong side of the tracks—but we still gon’ rise From the wrong side of the tracks, hear the echoes of the past Every scar tell a story, every moment never lasts Yeah, we built from the struggle, turned the tears into racks Wrong side of the tracks—but we never look back *(Verse 2)* Neighbors knew struggle like it’s part of the code Shared meals, shared dreams, heavy hearts, heavy loads Graffiti on the walls like a voice for the broke Tryna paint a better future in the lines that we wrote Cops ride slow when you walk past night Judged off your skin, not the content inside Had to dodge every label they was quick to attach Now I’m breaking every chain, never fallin’ to that Lost a couple soldiers to the system and streets Pour a little liquor every time that I speak This for everyone who felt like they was born in defeat Still stood tall, ten toes, refused to retreat *(Hook)* From the wrong side of the tracks, where the pain don’t hide Where you either sink slow or you fight to survive Yeah, we came from the bottom, now we aiming at the sky Wrong side of the tracks—but we still gon’ rise From the wrong side of the tracks, hear the echoes of the past Every scar tell a story, every moment never lasts Yeah, we built from the struggle, turned the tears into racks Wrong side of the tracks—but we never look back *(Bridge)* They told me I’d never make it out Now I’m everything they doubted Every step, every scar Turned my pain into a crown *(Verse 3)* Now I ride through the same block, different view Same roots, same soil, but a different truth Tryna give hope to the ones still stuck Show ‘em you can rise up even when it’s rough I remember empty pockets, now they filled with plans More than money, it’s a legacy I’m tryna hand To the kids on the corner with a spark in they eyes Let ‘em know wrong side don’t define their lives *(Outro / Hook)* From the wrong side of the tracks, yeah we still stand tall Every bruise, every fall, made us who we are Yeah, we came from the shadows, now we shining through the cracks Wrong side of the tracks… but we took it all back
