(Verse 1) Yeah, yeah, let’s go, I know a guy who cried, Took a shot, missed it, now he wonder why. Dreams for sale, billionaires sellin’ lies, But I know poor guys richer than the highs. Lookin’ inside, success is hidden, Failure’s blind, leaves you feelin’ forbidden. Life’s what you do when the choice ain’t yours, Still I’m grindin’, still I’m reachin’ for doors. (Pre-Chorus) Shadows on my mind, lonely nights, I confess, Loyalty fade, day gone, feelin’ less. But I believe if I work, I can rise above, Still I move, still I dream, pushin’ with love. (Chorus – Melodic) I’m livin’ in the shadows of my presence, yeah, Tryna find my way, tryna find my essence, yeah. Life don’t wait, you gotta make it, Still I pray, still I chase, can’t fake it. (Verse 2) Handouts don’t feed me, I take my own lane, Do it or don’t, that’s the code in my vein. Friends find love, I wish them the best, But the shadows remind me, still I can’t rest. Italian streets, South boy with dreams, F1 in my head, steering through extremes. Survivin’, believin’, faith in my schemes, I write my own story, life ain’t what it seems. (Bridge – Smooth & Emotional) Sacrifice gone, loyalty a ghost, But I keep moving, I do what I need most. Eyes on the prize, soul burnin’ close, Dreams of the future, still I compose. (Outro – Melodic) Livin’ in the shadows, but I shine my spark, Pain in my chest, yeah, it’s left its mark. Still I rise, still I dream, even when it’s dark, South boy dreams, yeah, I’m tryna leave a la
