Deep Focus

My life ain't sweet, I'm living in these cold streets
Hard knocks, ain't nothin' nice, just concrete
Grew up in the belly of the beast, where the shots ring
It's survival of the fittest, every single day's a fight ring

Plagued by poverty, my city's full of despair
Been grinding hard, tryna stack my paper, I swear
But the struggle keeps me focused, gotta stay on my grind
Every punch I throw, every line I wrote, all in due time

From the bottom to the top, that's the story of my life
Sacrificing for my dreams in this urban twilight
No silver spoon in my mouth, just a mic and a dream
I hustle hard, never back down, I'm tryna redeem

My life ain't sweet, trappin' just to make ends meet
Eyes bloodshot, can't rest, always movin' heat
Steppin' through these streets, dodgin' fiends in the night
Flippin' bricks, tryna stack that money tight
Aight

Born into the struggle, ain't no silver spoons here
Where bullets fly, and loyalty's scarce, it's crystal clear
Hustlin' hard just to put food on the plate
But the pressure's on, can't afford to hesitate

In this deep focus, can't afford to lose sight
Living in the shadows, where wrong can feel so right
Got my mind on the prize, tunnel vision in my zone
No distractions, just the hunger, forever in my bones

Raised by the streets, where loyalty is rare
Got homies turned snakes, that's the game we share
Momma always told me, "Stay away from the dark"
But growing up surrounded by chaos left its mark

I reminisce on days of hustlin' on the block
Dodging bullets and the cops, evading any knock
Ain't no time for mistakes, gotta stay awake
In this jungle made of concrete, only few thrive, for goodness' sake

I seen brothers fall, their dreams shattered in a flash
Now I grind harder, gotta make my demons crash
Every scar on my body tells a tale of survival
In this mad world, I'm singing hymns for my arrival
