Kid Still Trying

Intro

Yeah

Turn the beat up—this that talk-your-talk energy

I been quiet, now I’m loud with it

Verse

Came from nights where the lights barely worked

Dreams too big for the place where I lurked

Same old block, new hunger inside

Every “no” just sharpened my pride

I was young with a chip on my shoulder

World felt cold, had to move bolder

They laughed when I said I’d escape

Now I laugh ‘cause I proved it ain’t fake

Running off faith, no map, no guide

Heart full of fire, fear pushed aside

I learned real quick you earn your respect

By standing ten toes when they place they bets

Chorus

I remember days they ain’t believe

Now they watch every move I breathe

Pressure on me but I love that weight

Turn pain into power, hustle into fate

I don’t slow down, I don’t look back

Past in my fuel, future in my lap

If you feel this beat in your spine

That’s the sound of a kid still trying

Verse

I ain’t lucky, this was built from grind

Late nights talking to my own mind

Missed calls, lost friends, cold truth

Had to grow fast, no time for youth

Every scar tell a story I earned

Every loss was a lesson learned

I don’t flex for the ones who doubt

I flex for the kid who almost bowed

Still hear the echoes of the block I’m from

Still hear my name when the pressure come

I rap like my life on the line each bar

‘Cause back then it really was hard

Chorus

I remember days they ain’t believe

Now they watch every move I breathe

Pressure on me but I love that weight

Turn pain into power, hustle into fate

I don’t slow down, I don’t look back

Past in my fuel, future in my lap

If you feel this beat in your spine

That’s the sound of a kid still trying

Verse

Now my circle tight, my vision clear

I don’t chase noise, I don’t chase fear

Seen fake love crumble under stress

Real ones stayed, I remember that best

I came too far just to play it safe

I was built in the fire, shaped by faith

If I fall, I get up twice as mean

Still chasing dreams I ain’t touched yet, seen

I ain’t done, I ain’t close, I’m locked in

This more than rap, this survival win

From the past to the now, hear my voice

I ain’t make it by chance—I made a choice

Outro

I remember nights staring at ceilings

Heart full of hope, pain still healing

Now I stand tall where I once was scared

Same soul, just battle-prepared

If you came from nothing, this your song

If you felt too weak but stayed strong

We ain’t finished, we just getting traction

Past gave the spark—now watch the action
