Yeh We're rising like a phoenix, hmm Out of the ashes we'll soar Where we gon, f*ck shit I grew up in the city, where the streets were mean I saw things no child should see, on every single street My eyes were wide open, but my soul was still young I tried to find some light, but it was hard to come I left behind the shadows, of my past life's pain I found my strength within, and let go of the strain I forged a new path, with each step I took I followed my heart, and my spirit awoke Grew up in the concrete jungle, where the fangs are sharp Times were hard, but I harness the pain and let it spark From the boulevards to the skyscrapers so high California vibes painting pictures in my mind's eye I walked the city streets, looking for a sign That life could be more than this, that there was something divine I prayed to the stars, and begged for a chance To find my way out, from this life of circumstance I searched for answers, In every book I found I questioned every teacher, as I walked the city grounds I looked to the heavens, and begged for a sign Until one day, I heard a voice, that said, "Open your eyes" My heart began to open, as I saw each face The light within each person, the beauty of the human race My eyes were finally open, to the world around me I finally found my purpose, to spread love and be free I helped those in need, with a smile on my face I found my true calling, my soul finally had a place I realized the power, of kindness and grace My life was transformed, by the love I gave away I walked the city streets, looking for a sign That life could be more than this, that there was something divine I prayed to the stars, and begged for a chance To find my way out, from this life of circumstance With each passing day, I felt more and more alive I discovered my purpose, and learned how to thrive I embraced my journey, with a newfound peace I found my inner strength, and felt true release As I continued my path, I met people along the way Who shared their stories, and helped me find my way I learned from their wisdom, and shared my own truth We walked together, with a love that was proof I started from the bottom, but now I'm at the top I had to hustle hard, to make it to the spot I shared my light with others, and they shared their own We made it brighter together, till it shined like a throne I walked the city streets, looking for a sign That life could be more than this, that there was something divine I prayed to the stars, and begged for a chance To find my way out, from this life of circumstance I'm representing my city, I'm repping for my block I'm living my life to the fullest, I'm never gonna stop I'm spreading the message, that love can change the world We gotta stick together, and make our voices heard We're all in this together, we're all one and the same We gotta unite and stand up, and leave the hate in the flames We gotta fight the power, and stand up to the man We gotta take a stand, and make our voices heard This is our time, to take back the streets, na,na We're gonna make our mark, and shout our victory We'll fight till the end, we'll never giving up We'll keep on fighting, till we reach the top I walked the city streets, looking for a sign That life could be more than this, that there was something divine I prayed to the stars, and begged for a chance To find my way out, from this life of circumstance
