Shed So Many Tears

Came from the bottom, had to grind through the rain,

Pressure on my shoulders, but I never let it stain.

Life threw the punches, had to learn from the pain,

Turned every loss to a lesson, now I’m deep in the game.

 

They tried to hold me back, said I’d never see the light,

But I kept on pushin’, had to fight for what’s right.

Built from the struggle, made it out of the night,

Now I’m shinin’ like a star, yeah, my future lookin’ bright.

So many years, so many tears,

Fought through the dark, overcame my fears.

They tried to break me, but I’m still right here,

Standing tall, yeah, the vision stay clear.

 

Too many nights when the world felt cold,

Dreams in my mind but my pockets on hold.

Kept the faith strong, never did what I was told,

Had to write my own script, now the story unfold.

 

They ain’t never seen hustle like this,

Came from the mud, turned pain into bliss.

Now they watch close, yeah, they study every twist,

But the grind don’t stop, I was made for this.

 

(Chorus)

So many years, so many tears,

Fought through the dark, overcame my fears.

They tried to break me, but I’m still right here,

Standing tall, yeah, the vision stay clear.

 

They ain’t know the struggle, they just see the shine,

But I put in work, had to double overtime.

Focused on the mission, had to stay in line,

Now the plan unfolding like it’s all divine.

 

Never been the type just to sit and complain,

Had to boss up, took control of the lane.

Built from the pressure, made it out of the chains,

Now they speak my name ‘cause they know what remains.

 

So many years, but I’m still standin’,

Took the long road, now the world understandin’.

They tried to stop me, but I kept expandin’,

Now my name hold weight ‘cause I kept demandin’.

 

Let it ride, let it ride, yeah…

I ain’t never gon’ fold, I was built to survive.
