[Intro] Yeah… I came from the bottom, still tryna see the light Too many nights in the dark, fightin' for my life [Verse 1] I remember cold winters, hunger paintin' my breath Mama prayin' every night, but still feelin' what's left Lost friends to the streets, hearts stitched in regret Tryna climb out this trench, but the ladder's a threat Gunshots echo loud, another dream cut short Every plan that we built, just another broken fort Survivor's guilt heavy, got my soul in a cage But this pen bleeds truth when I’m scribblin' this page [Pre-Chorus] But they don't know… the nights I had to pray But they don't know… the price I had to pay The demons in my head, they don't ever go away I’m still here standin’, gotta make it through today [Chorus] They wanna see me fall, they wanna see me break But I'm climbin’ through the fire, I ain't makin’ no mistake Dreams and nightmares, livin' on the edge But I’ll die a legend ‘fore they ever see me beg [Verse 2] Look—Pain turned me savage, hunger gave me focus Circle full of lions, no snakes in the notice Death around the corner, but I’m runnin’ through the flame Trophies on my mind, can’t lose in this game They threw dirt on my name, but I rose from the ashes Went from sleepin' on floors to executive glasses Enemies plottin’, gotta move with precision Every step calculated, every move my decision [Pre-Chorus] But they don't know… the nights I had to pray But they don't know… the price I had to pay The demons in my head, they don't ever go away I’m still here standin’, gotta make it through today [Chorus] They wanna see me fall, they wanna see me break But I'm climbin’ through the fire, I ain't makin’ no mistake Dreams and nightmares, livin' on the edge But I’ll die a legend ‘fore they ever see me beg [Bridge] And when the lights fade low, and the crowd gets quiet I’ll still hear the echo of my dreams in the riot They can try to bury me, but I rise from the dirt Every scar on my soul is a badge of my worth [Chorus] They wanna see me fall, they wanna see me break But I'm climbin’ through the fire, I ain't makin’ no mistake Dreams and nightmares, livin' on the edge But I’ll die a legend ‘fore they ever see me beg [Outro] Yeah… Dreams and nightmares… But I’m still here.
