Rise & Shine

Close to death so many times
So many scars to remind myself of the past
Still so young to say what I been through
Beatings and watching my dad dealing
How can one get out of this life?
 Praying every night
Just one shot is all I need
To prove myself that I can rise and shine
With the stars
FIghting hard to take my place in this life
Ain't no backing down for me
Going for all or nothing
Keeping my faith by my side
Just pushing forward down this road
Watching my world blow up around me
Burning my fuel to keep this train going
College is so close yet feels so far
Hard to believe all the hard work I put in
I may not be where I'm now but I'm working on it
Just look at the road I've been on
All the broken dreams and tears
The blood and sweat
There's a future for me
I know it
I feel it
So afraid of what to come next
But in the end
You can call me a fighter
I fought the odds and won the hand
