Face the reflection

Can't dodge the intersection

Life's imperfections

Mind's own resurrection

Heart beats heavy

City's concrete confetti

Grindin' steady

Dreams sharper than machete

Mental jigsaw

Puzzle pieces of my psyche

Hidden scars

Can't feed off fake Nike

Rewind tape of days

Cradled by the haze

Navigate the maze

Where the lost soul prays

Ain't just survival

It's about revival

Inner turmoil

Scripted on the spiral

From the dirt to the heavens

Climb each level

No longer a rebel

Just chasin' somethin' civil

Fistfight with the past

Shadows growin' fast

Strugglin' to last

Thoughts wrapped in a cast

Books of wisdom

Turn pages of prism

Shoot the system

Heart races like a piston

Mirror crack'd

History's facade attack'd

Healing through action

No prosperin' slack

Inner struggle

Built muscles on the hustle

Push through the rubble

Love stronger than a couple

Ain't just survival

It's about revival

Inner turmoil

Scripted on the spiral

From the dirt to the heavens

Climb each level

No longer a rebel

Just chasin' somethin' civil
