ASHES ON MY TIMBS

[Intro] (spoken softly) Sometimes the weight get heavy… But mi keep movin'. Even when mi spirit crack, mi still rise… same way. [Hook] I got ashes on my Timbs from the fires that I walked through, Pain in my chest from the nights I had to f***t through. Life tried break mi, but mi push till the light grew— Still I rise higher, even when the world deny you. [Verse 1] Grew up in the cold nights, pressure in my lungs, Daddy wasn’t there, so I learned from where I come. Mama had tears, but she hide ‘em from her son— Life taught mi early what the pain make you become. Bully dem surround mi, nobody tek mi side, Had to f***t alone with the darkness in mi mind. Every scar pon mi heart tell a story over time— Now the wounds turn wisdom, and the wisdom make mi climb. Lost both parents, but mi still stand tall, Had to be the strong one when mi life did fall. Numb to the hurt, mi just answer the call— Pain made mi brave, mi no fear death at all. [Bridge] Every step heavy with di memories mi carry, But mi still move steady through di storms dem bury. [Hook] I got ashes on my Timbs from the fires that I walked through, Pain in my chest from the nights I had to f***t through. Life tried break mi, but mi push till the light grew— Still I rise higher, even when the world deny you. [Verse 2] From homeless on streets to the empire mi design, From broke and forgotten to a mastermind mind. Nights with no food, but mi dream never die— Hunger in mi belly put a fire in mi eye. World cold, mi know dat from early, Some days mi wonder if di universe hurt mi. But purpose inna mi soul come and search mi— Destiny call loud, and mi follow it firmly. Pressure from di world but mi still don’t bend, Pain from mi past but mi still transcend. Darkness in mi heart but mi heal and mend— And now mi walk path weh no man can end. [Outro] (spoken) Mi come from ashes… but ashes feed roots. Mi rise… ‘cause rising is all mi ever knew.
