Deadshift Alley

**[Intro - 4 bars]**  
From the ashes of my adolescence, I rose through the wreckage
With ink and insight, I weaponize the scars that used to stretch us  
I’m turning these lessons into blessings bred to transcend  
Rebuilt the broken bones, now I’m never gon’ bend

**[Verse 1 - 16 bars]**  
Started off stranded, knuckles busted on the block’s cold cement  
Where enemies and penalties formed a pact of dissent
I was kissing chaos, trading innocence for masked ambition  
A crooked system had me shackled, trapped in flawed tradition  
Cinderblocks inside my psyche, stifling my ascendancy  
Hustled black market scripts to flip a grim dependency  
Inhaling toxic fumes, exhaling demons in my lines  
Caught in karmic cycles spinning like corrupted vines  
But I studied subtle tactics from pages of secret codes  
“Forty-Eight Laws” lighting lanterns on these murky roads  
I learned to weave semantics, shape these syllables like steel  
Forged a fortress in my verses—everything I spill is real  
Now I’m cruising in the fast lane, smoke coiled in the breeze  
Turning hollow victories into timeless symphonies

**[Chorus / Hook - 8 bars]**  
We transform trauma into timeless technique and truth  
Planting seeds of survival deep in the soil of youth  
Every lyric’s architecture built from battered remains  
We resurrect the spirit—reborn and unchained  
Pressing pen to paper, slicing through old illusions  
This tapestry of rhyme resolves all our confusions  
We stand as sentinels, baptized in brutal grace  
Mapping paths through shadows to a boundless place
