(Verse 1)

Woke up in the morning, stomach empty, feelin’ weak

Ain’t no food up in the fridge, just some crumbs in the sink

Momma workin’ doubles just to keep the lights on

Pops been gone, man, I wonder where he went wrong

Walkin’ through the city, see the wealthy throwin’ stacks

While I’m out here plottin’ ways just to make a couple racks

Dreams bigger than my block, I can see ‘em in my mind

But the weight up on my shoulders got me runnin’ outta time

(Hook)

Tryna find a way, yeah, I’m searchin’ for a lane

Made it through the storm, had to hustle through the rain

I been on the grind, I ain’t doin’ this for fame

I just want a life where they’ll never forget my name

(Verse 2)

Late nights in the basement, writin’ pain in these lines

Every verse that I spit got my future in design

I ain’t tryna be another name lost to the streets

Turn these words into my hustle, make a way for me to eat

Homies out here trappin’, say the money come quick

But I seen too many brothers locked up in the mix

So I’m chasin’ every dollar with a pen and a dream

If I bet it on myself, I could rewrite what I’ve seen

(Hook)

Tryna find a way, yeah, I’m searchin’ for a lane

Made it through the storm, had to hustle through the rain

I been on the grind, I ain’t doin’ this for fame

I just want a life where they’ll never forget my name

(Bridge)

They don’t see the nights I stayed up, prayin’ for a sign

They don’t see the moments where I nearly lost my mind

But I kept on movin’, had to stay up on my path

Turned the pain into my story, put my struggle in my craft

(Verse 3)

Now I’m risin’ up, got my foot inside the door

Used to dream about it, now I’m livin’ even more

Still remember where I came from, I won’t ever change

Made it through the darkness, now they screamin’ out my name

(Hook - Outro)

Tryna find a way, yeah, I’m searchin’ for a lane

Made it through the storm, had to hustle through the rain

I been on the grind, I ain’t doin’ this for fame

I just want a life where they’ll never forget my name
