Concrete jungle, dreams like distant stars
Pockets empty, but ambition in my heart
Mama's tears fuel my determination
Hustling through nights, no time for vacation
Streets tempt with quick cash and fame
But I'm chasing bigger dreams, different game
Books my weapon, knowledge my shield
Future's unclear, but my fate's not sealed
Day job grinding, night school learning
Burning midnight oil, future yearning
Friends living fast, I'm taking it slow
Eyes on the prize, letting nothing go
Doubters all around, trying to break me
But their words just motivate, can't shake me
Every setback's a lesson, every fall's a rise
Climbing towards success, no compromise
Struggle's real, but so is hope
Balancing dreams with ways to cope
One foot in the past, one in tomorrow
Turning pain to power, joy from sorrow
Chasing dreams while life hits hard
Stumbling forward, scars and stars
Reality bites, but vision's clear
Building futures, conquering fear
Dreams don't die, they just evolve
Problems come, but we solve
Keep pushing, keep growing, keep believing
Success is breathing, keep achieving
Bills piling up, stress weighing down
But I'm not the type to drown
Each small win fuels the fire inside
Keeping faith alive, enjoying the ride
Critics say I'm crazy, call it pipe dreams
But they can't see what my heart sees
Sacrificing now for tomorrow's gain
Through the darkness, sunshine after rain
Life's a battle, but I'm a soldier
With each day passed, I'm getting bolder
Balancing aspirations with real-life situations
Building foundations for future generations
Chasing dreams while life hits hard
Stumbling forward, scars and stars
Reality bites, but vision's clear
Building futures, conquering fear
Dreams don't die, they just evolve
Problems come, but we solve
Keep pushing, keep growing, keep believing
Success is breathing, keep achieving
From nothing to something, that's my story
Turned struggles to stepping stones for glory
Remember where you're from, but don't look back
Keep moving forward, stay on track
Dreams and reality, a delicate dance
Take the leap, make your own chance
The struggle's real, but so is success
Chase your dreams, nothing less
