Hook:

Still on the come-up, still progress
Mum n’ dad gone, but I know I’m blessed
Pain in my chest, but I walk with pride
Every step that I take, they right by my side

Ain’t no ceiling, I’m still risin’
Turnin’ pain to a ting, energisin’
From the dirt to the light, I’m climbin’
One road, one path, I’m survivin’


Verse 1:

Grew in the ends, bare pain, no cap
Lost both folks, can’t bring that back
Had to graft from young, put the weight on my back
Now I’m writin’ my story, no need for a plaque

Man weren’t fed, had to flip what I got
Turn pence to a pound, then I doubled the pot
Nothin’ was sweet, bare stress on the block
Still I move with a plan, gotta watch for the opps

Days got cold but the fire still burn
Every L that I take, man I twist, I learn
Prayed for a sign, now I see my turn
Mum n’ dad watchin’, that’s the faith I earn

Every step that I take, they right by my side

Ain’t no ceiling, I’m still risin’
Turnin’ pain to a ting, energisin’
From the dirt to the light, I’m climbin’
One road, one path, I’m survivin’


Verse 2:

Could’ve lost track, could’ve ghost on the way
But I stayed on my grind, never drift, never stray
Hearin’ voices in my head, tellin’ me to stay safe
But the world too mad, gotta dodge every case

Ops still talk, but they don’t know pain
Mandem know struggle, but we’re not the same
I ain’t claim rich, still buildin’ my lane
But I hold my own, that’s how I maintain

Designer on tag, but the heart still raw
Nothin’ can heal what I lost before
Still keep goin’, can’t settle for small
Wanna give to my fam what they died for

Verse 3:

Man had nights when the fridge stayed empty
Still shared half even when I got twenty
Hunger in my soul, can’t lie, that tempt me
But the love from above always kept man steady

Still in the process, far from the end
I ain’t here to flex, I just pattern and mend
Pain in my chest, but I call it a friend
Cos it push man forward every time I descend

Brothers in the trap still prayin’ for change
Some stuck inside, some lost to the game
I carry they names when I step on stage
Turn grief to a fire, that’s how I engage
