From Rags to Riches

[Verse] Crawled out the gutter, hands stained with dirt, Concrete jungle, where dreams always flirt, Ripped wallet, but a heart full of heat, Turned hustle into muscle, with them scuffed-up sneaks. [Verse 2] Cardboard mattress, money dreams slept on, Streetlights flicker, city life carries on, Empty pockets but ambition in the vein, From pennies to dollars, 'nother level of the game. [Chorus] Rags to riches, shadows turned to gold, Soul forged in the fires, never grew old, Rags to riches, the hustle story's told, Found strength in scars, made this world my mold. [Verse 3] Broke nights, ramen noodles in the pot, Candles for light, but the drive never stopped, Vision as clear as a crystal ball gleam, Turn dust into diamonds, reality from dreams. [Verse 4] Bare knuckle fights, served knuckles raw, Darkened alleys, light the path I saw, From rags, no riches gave, I had to snatch, Street taught lessons, life's most brutal batch. [Chorus] Rags to riches, shadows turned to gold, Soul forged in the fires, never grew old, Rags to riches, the hustle story's told, Found strength in scars, made this world my mold.
