Steppin' out my door, look back where I was before
Broken dreams on the floor, my heart used to be sore
From the bottom, where the shadows linger
To the top, now I'm a heavy hitter, singer

Riding beats like a wave, reminiscing on my past
Hard knocks, lessons in every blast
Old photos, dusty on the shelf
Each one a story, a part of myself

Look back, see the trails of my fight
Every loss, every win, wrong or right
Reflecting in the mirror of the night
I made it through, out of spite

From the corners of the blocks where we hung at night
To the spotlight, shining so bright
Memories flicker, like old street lights
Paths I walked, full of plights

Every scar's a badge, every tear a lesson
Turned my pains into my weapons
Building dreams from the concrete
From silence, now I speak

Look back, see the trails of my fight
Every loss, every win, wrong or right
Reflecting in the mirror of the night
I made it through, out of spite

Oh, look back, not to dwell but to see
How far I've come, what I used to be
The streets taught me, life's not free
Paid in full, with my history

Now I dance in the light of what I've become
Old tunes hum, new victories won
Each step forward, echoes a time
When the climb was steep, now I rhyme

Used to dream in a bed cold as stone
Now I wake up on a throne
From the struggles, from the strife
I script my life, with every line I write

Look back, see the trails of my fight
Every loss, every win, wrong or right
Reflecting in the mirror of the night
I made it through, out of spite

So when you see me, see more than the glow
Understand the roads I had to follow
Every turn, every track
It's my story, when I look back."
