 Struggling with Coda? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Grew up on the north side where the streets ride
When the street lights call the whole hood to be alive
Younguns fell asleep to the sounds of backfire
Mixed with gunshots and squeals of back tires.
Rare if the obituary section wasn't long
Had momma praying each day her babies would come home
Always saying she didn't know what we'd become
Division up in the hood couldn't add up to us being one
Wasn't equal for us all. Found out there's a hood code.
Taught by the culture that most of us had to ball bro
Others of us would be lost in the system like Waldo
Maybe a few could make it out. Wish we could all go.
Me? A young buck.  Momma said head up
Instincts said please duck. Street said strap up.
Statistics said good luck. Culture said I suck
Had just to look up and pray to be unstuck.

In this concrete jungle where the struggle's real
We chase dreams, but the pain's too hard to conceal
Facing every day threats to have your cap peeled
Couldn't show fear. False bravado was your shield.
In this urban warzone, where the violence never ceases
I thank god from keeping my life from falling to pieces.
Dropped the hood life so I could become free
But came back just to show them youngins they could be me.
From the north side streets to a sky blue
I overcame the odds, and you can too.
Street life don't mean the road take you
To a better high. Shoot your shot for a better view.
You got dreams and aspirations, gotta chase 'em down
Meant for higher vibrations, show the world your sound
In the face of adversity, just stand your ground
Cause your story is your choice. Where's your life bound?
I came from the streets some would say from the bottom well
Climbed up every day when everybody said I'd stay in hell
Question my resilience. Proof is in how I prevail.
Woke up to my greatness like hello, you can ask Adele
Make the haters marvel. Make the doubters shocked
Make the moves I need to keep my game on lock.
This aint a fairytale. This is an Epic story.
Ask me how I did it.  Its cause I did it for me.
