(Intro) Yeah… You don’t know… nah Walk a mile in my shoes, you’d fold quick (Verse 1) No one knows what it’s like in my skin, in my zone Fightin’ battles every day, still I’m standin’ alone Family ties turned cold, got cut at the root One day love in the house, next day out with my truth Backpack full of pain, had nowhere to stay Couch to the curb, yeah, life don’t play Tried to find my way home, had a ticket in hand But fate hit cancel, like it don’t understand (Pre-Chorus) Every door slammed shut, every road got blocked But I learned real quick how to think outside the box When you lose everything, what you got left to prove? Just a heart still beatin’ sayin’ “don’t you lose” (Chorus) No one knows what it’s like, livin’ life that I do All these obstacles I face just to make it through From a place called “home” to the streets so cold Now I’m sleepin’ underneath where the branches fold Yeah, no one knows what it’s like, what I’ve been through But I’m still standin’ tall, yeah I push through Even under that tree, with the night so deep I made pain my fuel, I don’t break, I don’t sleep (Verse 2) Sky my only roof, roots dig in my back Stars be my blanket, yeah I’m livin’ like that People pass by quick, never look, never see They don’t know the whole story livin’ inside me Every scar got a name, every tear got a cost Every lesson came hard, everything that I lost But I carry my soul like a fire in the dark Even lost in the night, I still got that spark (Bridge) Yeah I fell, yeah I broke, yeah I cried in the rain But I stood right back up, turned my loss into gain You can strip me of it all, take the ground from my feet But you’ll never take the strength that was built in me (Chorus) No one knows what it’s like, livin’ life that I do All these obstacles I face just to make it through From a place called “home” to the streets so cold Now I’m sleepin’ underneath where the branches fold Yeah, no one knows what it’s like, what I’ve been through But I’m still standin’ tall, yeah I push through Even under that tree, with the night so deep I made pain my fuel, I don’t break, I don’t sleep (Outro) So if you see me out here, don’t judge what you see I’m a story still writin’, I’m who I gotta be From the roots to the sky, yeah I’m learnin’ to grow Even under that tree… I’m stronger than you know.
