From Chains To Change

[Intro] [Verse 1] Twenty years young, locked in a cage, numbers for a name, Concrete walls screamin’, “Boy, you chose the wrong game.” Streets had my back ‘til the sirens came loud, Learned the hard way—pride don’t stack no paper now. Razor-wire lessons, nights starin’ at the moon, Promised myself I’d rewrite the script soon. Daydreams of freedom, hustlin’ with a pen, Swore to my mama I’d never go back again. [Chorus] From the block to the boardroom, I rose from the flame, Turned pain into power, no shackles can chain. Second chance savior, I flipped the script right, Once sold the chaos, now I’m sellin’ the light. [Verse 2] Parole papers signed, stepped out with a plan, No more lookin’ sideways, no more playin’ the lamb. Nine-to-five grinds, but it’s mine, no deceit, Built a legit empire with these calloused hands’ heat. Old crew whispers, “Yo, why you actin’ brand new?” I tell ’em the game’s the same—just the players they true. My son’s lullabies got more bass than the streets, Legacy’s clean, got no dirt on these sheets. [Bridge] The system tried to break me, but scars built the climb, Every closed door forced a new path to shine. From cellblocks to stock charts, the grind never sleeps, The past is a shadow—my future’s too steep. [Chorus] From the block to the boardroom, I rose from the flame, Turned pain into power, no shackles can chain. Second chance savior, I flipped the script right, Once sold the chaos, now I’m sellin’ the light. [Outro]
