Adversity Revealed A Triumph

[Verse] Tales of iron hearts, pressure from the start, Faced the stormy weather, didn't fall apart, From the back alleys, dreams dusty carts, Past pain and struggle, turned into art. [Verse 2] Hood scars, life battles and the deep gutter, Adversity's my friend, ain't no need to shudder, Rise from the concrete, taught me to stutter, Voice now strong, breaks through like a cutter. [Chorus] Not building but revealing, true selves in the dark, Fire from within, leaves a permanent mark, Faces in the crowd, souls with a lasting spark, On this rocky road, we all play a part. [Verse 3] Card dealt rough, but I played it smooth, Wisdom from the struggle, found my groove, Life taught lessons, oceans we had to prove, Rising from the ashes, battles we soothe. [Bridge] Nostalgic days, dreams clearer than ever, Pride in humility, bound by no tether, Winds of yesterday, make today's endeavors, Motivation drives, like golden levers. [Chorus] Not building but revealing, true selves in the dark, Fire from within, leaves a permanent mark, Faces in the crowd, souls with a lasting spark, On this rocky road, we all play a part.
