Healin' Slow

Intro

(Yeah...)

Late nights, prayin' for the pain to fade

(Just hold on...)

Verse

Woke up in the trenches, pockets empty, heart heavy loaded

Mama cryin' on the phone, bills pilin', hope erodin'

Lost my brother to the streets, bullets singin' like a choir

Now I'm rappin' through the tears, turnin' fire into wires

Chasin' dreams in a rusted Chevy, gas light flickerin' low

Enemies lurkin' in the rearview, trust nobody, that's the code

Sold my soul for a dollar bill, but it left me hollow inside

Nights I lay awake, askin' God why the good ones die

Fiends knockin' at the door, temptation pullin' me under

But I fight for my lil' ones, keep the hunger from the thunder

Streets raised me rough, scars on my skin like tattoos

Every loss a lesson, every win feel overdue

Prayin' for a breakthrough, tired of the same old cycle

Voices in my head screamin', but I silence 'em with the Bible

One day I'll rise from this mud, shine brighter than the struggle

Turn pain into platinum, make the doubters all mumble

Chorus

I'm hurtin', yeah, but I'm healin' slow

Through the rain, I'ma grow, let the real ones know

Pain in my chest, but hope in my soul

Hold on, brother, we gon' make it whole

(I'm hurtin', yeah)

But I'm healin' slow

(Through the rain)

I'ma grow, let the real ones know

Pain in my chest, but hope in my soul

Hold on, we gon' make it whole

Verse

She left me when the lights went dim, said I ain't enough

Now I'm solo in the mirror, starin' down my own bluff

Kids askin' for their daddy, but the grind don't stop for love

Bills stackin' like the weight on my shoulders from above

Dodged a couple indictments, lawyers eatin' up the check

Friends turned to foes quick, loyalty just a sketch

But in the quiet moments, I feel that fire reignite

Dreams whisperin' promises, pullin' me into the fight

Tattooed regrets on my arms, stories in every line

From the block to the booth, pourin' venom like it's wine

Ain't perfect, nah, but I'm pushin' past the wreckage

Buildin' empires from the ashes, no more beggin'

One call from my shorty, voice crackin' on the line

Tells me keep goin', baby boy, the sun gon' shine

So I grip the wheel tighter, accelerate through the storm

Tomorrow's my redemption, watch me transform

Chorus

I'm hurtin', yeah, but I'm healin' slow

Through the rain, I'ma grow, let the real ones know

Pain in my chest, but hope in my soul

Hold on, brother, we gon' make it whole

(I'm hurtin', yeah)

But I'm healin' slow

(Through the rain)

I'ma grow, let the real ones know

Pain in my chest, but hope in my soul

Hold on, we gon' make it whole

Bridge

(One day...)

These scars gon' fade, yeah, the weight gon' lift

No more chains, I'm free, feel the shift

(One day...)

We risin' up, no lookin' back

From the dirt to the stars,
