I'm from the East, where the streets are cold The struggle is real, and the stories are told Grew up in the hood, where dreams get shattered I ain't giving up, I'm climbing up the ladder They say I won't make it, they say I won't last I'm proving them wrong, and I'm moving fast I'm spitting fire, I'm bringing the heat I'm the king of the East, I'm taking the big seat On a mission, I'm on a grind I'm leaving my mark, I'm leaving it behind All the doubters and the haters, so full of negativity I'm rising up, I'm breaking free
