Lyrical Analysis of...
War Stories
- **(Verse 1)**
- Ayy, we was raised in the struggle, had to fight to survive,
- Ain’t no silver spoon here, had to hustle to thrive.
- Late nights, stomach empty, but the dream stayed alive,
- Now I’m ten toes down, got my eyes on the prize.
- Seen the real turn fake, seen the fake play roles,
- Loyalty ain't in 'em, gotta watch how it folds.
- I done lost day ones, turned my heart so cold,
- But I still kept pushin’, let the truth be told.
- **(Chorus)**
- Tradin' war stories, every scar got a name,
- Came up out the fire, but I still feel the flame.
- Told 'em I would make it, they was laughin' at the pain,
- Now I write my own script, every chapter done changed.
- **(Verse 2)**
- Had to grind for this moment, ain't no love in the streets,
- Tryna make it out, but they want me deceased.
- Had my back against the wall, had to stand on my feet,
- Learned to move like a boss, keep my name in the G.
- They don't know the nights when the lights went dark,
- Had to strategize moves, had to play it real smart.
- Ain’t no handouts given, had to build from the start,
- Now my name hold weight like a well known mark.
- **(Chorus)**
- Tradin' war stories, every scar got a name,
- Came up out the fire, but I still feel the flame.
- Told 'em I would make it, they was laughin' at the pain,
- Now I write my own script, every chapter done changed.
- **(Verse 3)**
- They ain't never seen struggle like the one I faced,
- Had to flip my own bag, had to run my own race.
- Kept my faith through the storm, had to move with grace,
- Now they watchin' from a distance, tryna keep my pace.
- Yeah, I been through the worst, but the best still near,
- Learned to fight through the fear, wipe away every tear.
- Made a promise to myself, I ain’t breakin' this year,
- Now my future look bright while they stuck in the rear.
- **(Outro)**
- Tradin' war stories, but I made it through,
- Had to stand on my own, had to see it through.
- Now I’m up, now I’m strong, now I’m breakin' through,
- Let the real ones rise, let the fake ones lose.
- Let it ride, let it ride, yeah…
- I ain’t never gon’ fold, I was built to survive.
