Grit and Glory

[Verse] Night echoes deep, heart feeling hella heavy, Life weighed on shoulders like pounds of pure levy, Soul searching through the chaos, tape rewind, Dreams slip through fingers, hard to bind. [Verse 2] Dusty roads and memories paint the town, Mama's prayers lifting me when I'm down, Struggles clawing, shadows always looming, Mind racing, future almost looming. [Chorus] Storm in the soul, life like a riddle, Hustling hard till my bones feel brittle, Truth in the pain, can't fake the fight, Under the stars, seeking that guiding light. [Bridge] Broken backs from the burdens we haul, Mama said rise every time we fall, Heart pounding like a beat from the kora, Endless hustle, chasing euphoria. [Verse 3] From the slums where hope wears thin, Ghosts of the past echoing within, Streets whisper stories worn on my face, Survive the night, God’s saving grace. [Chorus] Storm in the soul, life like a riddle, Hustling hard till my bones feel brittle, Truth in the pain, can't fake the fight, Under the stars, seeking that guiding light.
