[Chorus]
Never thought it’d hit this hard
Never knew I’d crawl through these scars
Dark alleys where I been
But look at me now, I’m standing again

[Verse 1]
Came up from the blocks where the shots never stop
Tell ‘em book the stage, I’ll explode, make the rooftop drop
Walked out my cell, told my celly that I’m gone
I ain’t see I was fuckin’ up my life, but they all knew it, son
Grandpa, how you holdin’? I been grindin’ all night
Made moves doin’ time, now I’ma teenager, keep my mind right
Stare deep in my eyes, see the pain and the struggle
Toted that heat, lean in my cup, just to juggle
Tryna find a path without a map in this maze
Wake up every day fightin’ demons, caught in the haze
Had a ho tryna play me, she wasn’t my queen
I was blinded by lust, shit ain’t always what it seem
I face every challenge head-on, never runnin’
King of this jungle, with my crew, we keep rumblin’
Learned money can’t solve all the problems I got
I got it all, but I need God more than I thought

[Chorus]
Never thought it’d hit this hard
Never knew I’d crawl through these scars
Dark alleys where I been
But look at me now, I’m standing again
[Verse 2]
High on that K2, pills in my hand
Hear a threat, I reach, Glock ready to stand
People come around chasin’ my shine, they don’t belong
Where my sister at? She keepin’ me strong
Same day I give ‘em bands, next day they reachin’ in my bag
Same day I pop Xans, forget where I land
But I say no more
Bought a new crib, fresh locks on the door
Brand-new phone, cut ties with them hoes
Privacy flights with my queen, runnin’ loads
Young bloods livin’ fast, life’s a heavy load
Still ridin’ with the sword, I said it’s my choice

[Chorus]
Never thought it’d hit this hard
Never knew I’d crawl through these scars
Dark alleys where I been
But look at me now, I’m standing again

[Verse 3]
Got the key, pop my shit, you try, get hit quick
Start it with shots, you know how Lil Veyro get
Hard times made me strong, ain’t fallin’ for no ho
Son’s mama strugglin’, still I ride with flows
Heard rumors ‘bout my block, know where the five reside
Pain in my eyes, growth in my stride
Made it out, but nights alone I cried
Holdin’ on long, no seatbelt on this ride
Grab sticks, protect mine, what you know about that?
Cross me, I’ll handle shit, no need to chat
Bumpin’ Peep while faded, styrofoam in my cup
Admit I’m tired, keep my grind, won’t give up
[Chorus]
Never thought it’d hit this hard
Never knew I’d crawl through these scars
Dark alleys where I been
But look at me now, I’m standing again
