Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Cold wind blowing, city nights feel heavy. Grinding on the low, keep my mind sharp and steady.
Dream big, dream big, dream big, dream big.

Shorties on the line while the clock keep ticking. Shorties on the block where the hope's been missing.
Grandma said pray, let the Lord be your guide. But it's hard to feel love with this pain inside.
Gunshots echo, mama's tears hit the floor. Still trying to build a life where the system won't war.
Chi-town heart, yeah the struggle made me. Soul full of scars, but the music saved me.
Let the sample sing for the ones we lost. Every rhyme a reminder that we paid that cost.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Red line rise with a pen in my hand. Sketching out a future they don't understand.
Dreams of the stage crowd singing my songs. But these city blocks tell me I don't belong.
Still I rise like the smoke from the train. Through the pressure, through the struggle, through the loss and the pain.
Got the soul of my city, the grind in my veins. Every bar is a battle, every word is a flame.
Memories of the past keep my feet on the ground.
Put my head to the sky, I'm still looking around. For a break, for a chance, for a life that's new.
Let the chipmunks sing, this one's for the crew.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Hold on tight, don't lose your way. There's a brighter light at the end of the day.
Thank you.
