The grass is greener on the other side

Turn my pain into power now I'm dancing in the Rain Putting down drugs cause it's no longer a thing Staying true to my roots never losing my name Casting demons out my circle no more playing These games These chains not holding me I'm taking my shot With a good attitude I'm giving all I got I'm rising like the sun I'm even shining through The night With a heart full of hope I'm not losing this fight I remember sleeping on the cold pavement But my spirit stayed ablaze no more running I'm facing the truth with the ghost of my past And reclaiming my youth through addiction and Struggle I find my way back I face a challenge every day So I know I'm on the right track With all the progress made I'm taking my soul In a battle for freedom now I'm taking control Life's like playing poker no I'm never gonna fold I put my story in the music so y'all got nothing to Expose Every song I drop is like a gun I reload The 12 steps is work we gotta do what we told Addiction is a monster still calls my name But when I'm spitting fire I'm igniting these flames We all got the power to rewrite fate In the right state of mind we can all elevate It don't matter what we did in the past Cause we blessed with a clean slate My pockets empty but my grind don't stop Every day's a hustle gotta rise to the top Enemies lurking but my head high In the city of dreams where the real ones die Surviving in the winter with frost in my soul Chasing after drugs yeah it's taking a toll When I was living homeless in the cold I was Ready for war Outside all the time with no place to lay my head Dreams in the gutter while my city's turning red Homeless but I'm hopeful gotta keep that fire lit Gotta keep moving forward whenever I take the Hits Life's like a game of chess and I'll be damned if I Quit So I'm spitting these bars raw chewed from the Cold Warrior from the streets now my story's being Told Gotta cherish this moment showing haters that I'm growing Flowing for my people still broken Surrender your will and your fate can be chosen Let me get a hold of myself Cause my head's getting a little swollen hold up Heh
