Intro: Westside Gripp] Yeah… From the concrete where the sirens sing… Where dreams get tested and loyalty mean everything… This for the ones who came up where the lights don’t shine… [Hook: Travis Bentley] This my hood, this my side, this my story Came from the dirt, had to fight for the glory Same blocks, same pain, same scars on me But I turned every loss into a war for me This my hood, where the real ones roam Where you learn real quick you gotta stand on your own No handouts, no favors, no sympathy shown Built this from the pavement, now I’m bringing it home [Verse 1: Westside Gripp] Raised where the sidewalks got a thousand memories Old heads watching, they remember what the struggle be Mama praying while the city kept testing me Had to build a name, couldn’t let it bury me I seen good people lose battles they never chose Seen fake love disappear when the pressure rose Everybody tough till the whole world froze That’s when you find out who really got your soul I’m from where the night moves different Where the street lights flicker and the sirens keep rhythm Where a youngin’ gotta learn how to move with precision Cause one wrong step can change your whole position But I stayed ten toes when the rain came down Built my empire from the cracks in the ground Now they hear my voice all over the town Westside energy when I’m holding it down [Hook: Travis Bentley] This my hood, this my side, this my story Came from the dirt, had to fight for the glory Same blocks, same pain, same scars on me But I turned every loss into a war for me [Verse 2: Westside Gripp] I don’t talk about the struggle, I carry it daily Every scar on my heart got a story that made me They counted me out, tried to label and cage me Now I’m breaking every chain that was placed on me This ain’t a movie, this the life that we lived Had to learn how to take before learning to give Had to separate the ones who pretend from the real Had to build my own lane, had to sharpen my skill Now I’m riding through the city with the windows low Bass shaking like the whole block know This the sound of the ones who survived that road Turned pain into power, now the whole world knows [Outro] My hood… My people… My story… We came from nothing… Now watch what we build.
