Woke up in a world that don’t play fair
Empty pockets, heavy heart, nobody cared
Dreams felt distant, like they weren’t mine
Every step forward, I fell behind
Mama said “boy, keep your head up high”
But the streets kept feeding me twisted lies
Friends turned shadows when the light got low
Had to learn quick who was real or no
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah I walked through fire, felt the burn inside
Every scar I carry got a story tied
(Chorus)
This is my life, I had to fight
Through the dark just to see some light
Every loss made me who I am
Now I stand where I once just ran
This is my life, no disguise
Through the pain, I still rise
They tried to break me, but I survived
Yeah… this is my life
(Verse 2)
Temptation calling, money on the line
Fast lane living, but it costs your mind
Seen too many fall for the easy road
Chains look gold but they steal your soul
Late nights, demons in my head
Whispers saying I’d be better dead
But I turned that pain into gasoline
Now I’m chasing everything they said I’d never be
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah I lost my way, had to find my truth
Built my strength from a broken youth
(Chorus)
This is my life, I had to fight
Through the dark just to see some light
Every loss made me who I am
Now I stand where I once just ran
This is my life, no disguise
Through the pain, I still rise
They tried to break me, but I survived
Yeah… this is my life
(Bridge)
I ain’t perfect, I made mistakes
Fell so hard, thought my soul would break
But every fall put fire in me
Now I’m stronger than I used to be
No more chains, no more fear
I see my path, it’s crystal clear
From the bottom to the sky
I spread my wings, I learned to fly
(Outro Chorus)
This is my life, I had to fight
Turned my darkness into light
Every scar, every tear I cried
Built the man that stands with pride
This is my life, my own design
Ain’t no giving up this time
Through the struggle, I came alive
Yeah… this is my life 🎤🔥
