Title: "Around The Block" (A reflective, personal narrative track) Intro (8 Bars): Seen it all, been through it, from the ground to the top, Took some losses, felt the pain, but I never let it stop. Life’s a heavy load, I carried mine with pride, But there were nights I couldn’t sleep, just tryin' to survive. Pop’s drinkin', mom’s workin', barely home at night, I was left to figure out if I’d ever find the light. Grew up with the weight, but it’s still part of my soul, Around the block, yeah, I learned how to take control. Verse 1 (16 Bars): I came up from the basement, no silver spoon in sight, Dad had his demons, drinkin’ just to make it through the fight. Mom was out there hustlin’, long shifts, barely rest, But even in her tears, man, she gave us her best. Brothers beefin’, house divided, had to fend for myself, Buried all the pain deep, locked emotions on the shelf. I learned how to be cold, numb to what was real, Grew a thick skin, never let 'em see how I feel. Wasn't no father figure showin’ me the ropes, Had to learn from the streets and the struggle how to cope. The trauma runs deep, but it taught me to be strong, Had to pick up the pieces, didn’t take too long. Bounced back from the lows, now I'm seein' clearer skies, But the shadows still linger when I close my eyes. I learned early on, you can’t trust many souls, Been around the block, now I’m playin' for bigger goals. Chorus (8 Bars): Been around the block, seen it all, paid my dues, Fought the wars within, had nothin’ left to lose. From the pain to the struggle, yeah, I rose through it all, Now I’m standin' here, but I remember every fall. Around the block, yeah, it taught me how to fight, Even when the world tried to dim my light. Now I’m stronger than ever, built from the ground, I’m still here, standin’ tall, never backin' down. Verse 2 (16 Bars): Pops had his battles, that drink held him tight, But I saw him workin’ hard, tryna make it right. He taught me mechanics, showed me the grind, But the scars he left on me? Man, those stay in my mind. Mom’s my hero, man, she did what she could, Kept food on the table, tryin’ to keep it all good. But the pain she carried, I could see it in her face, She was runnin’ from the past, but never could escape. I learned how to bottle it, kept it all in, Didn’t show emotion, nah, couldn’t let it win. But that isolation cut me deep, made me cold, Pushed people away, never let my heart unfold. I lost touch with myself, didn’t know who to be, Took years to realize that it was destroyin’ me. But now I’m tryna heal, break the chains from the past, Around the block taught me pain, but I’m free at last. Chorus (8 Bars): Been around the block, seen it all, paid my dues, Fought the wars within, had nothin’ left to lose. From the pain to the struggle, yeah, I rose through it all, Now I’m standin' here, but I remember every fall. Around the block, yeah, it taught me how to fight, Even when the world tried to dim my light. Now I’m stronger than ever, built from the ground, I’m still here, standin’ tall, never backin' down. Bridge (8 Bars): I’ve been haunted by the past, but I’m learnin' to forgive, I’ve been battlin' these demons, but now I wanna live. Had to find my peace, had to find my own way, I’m growin' from the pain, seein' clearer every day. I used to run from love, push away all I had, But now I’m learnin' to embrace it, ain’t lookin' back. Life’s a marathon, and I’m still on my path, But the man I’m becoming? That’s the aftermath. Chorus (8 Bars): Been around the block, seen it all, paid my dues, Fought the wars within, had nothin’ left to lose. From the pain to the struggle, yeah, I rose through it all, Now I’m standin' here, but I remember every fall. Around the block, yeah, it taught me how to fight, Even when the world tried to dim my light. Now I’m stronger than ever, built from the ground, I’m still here, standin’ tall, never backin' down. Outro (8 Bars): I’ve been around the block, yeah, I’ve seen it all, But every time I fell, I still stood tall. I came from nothin', now I’m chasin' dreams, Grateful for the pain, it built my self-esteem. From the basement to the light, I made my way, With God on my side, I’m here to stay. The past can’t hold me, I broke those chains, Around the block, I found strength in my pain.

Title: "Around The Block"
(A reflective, personal narrative track)
Intro (8 Bars):
Seen it all, been through it, from the ground to the top,
Took some losses, felt the pain, but I never let it stop.
Life’s a heavy load, I carried mine with pride,
But there were nights I couldn’t sleep, just tryin' to survive.
Pop’s drinkin', mom’s workin', barely home at night,
I was left to figure out if I’d ever find the light.
Grew up with the weight, but it’s still part of my soul,
Around the block, yeah, I learned how to take control.
Verse 1 (16 Bars):
I came up from the basement, no silver spoon in sight,
Dad had his demons, drinkin’ just to make it through the fight.
Mom was out there hustlin’, long shifts, barely rest,
But even in her tears, man, she gave us her best.
Brothers beefin’, house divided, had to fend for myself,
Buried all the pain deep, locked emotions on the shelf.
I learned how to be cold, numb to what was real,
Grew a thick skin, never let 'em see how I feel.
Wasn't no father figure showin’ me the ropes,
Had to learn from the streets and the struggle how to cope.
The trauma runs deep, but it taught me to be strong,
Had to pick up the pieces, didn’t take too long.
Bounced back from the lows, now I'm seein' clearer skies,
But the shadows still linger when I close my eyes.
I learned early on, you can’t trust many souls,
Been around the block, now I’m playin' for bigger goals.
