Fat Dabs by smokethatdank

[Verse 1]
Far from the block where my daydreams started,
Back when the skies felt bigger, uncharted.
Before the bills, before the nights feel colder,
Before I learned the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Used to run barefoot, heart full of light,
Didn’t know the cost of tryin’ to make wrongs right.
Now I’m carryin’ stories in my skin like tattoos,
Every scar a map, every tear somethin’ I’ve been through.

Stress tried to press me, life tried to test me,
But love’s in my chest, and hope still protects me.
I’m walkin’ through the fire with my eyes on the truth,
Every step I take’s a letter back to my youth.

[Chorus]
Keep your head high, let your heart stay wild
There’s a light in the dark, it’s been there all the while 
When the road feels heavy, let your soul be free 
You’re stronger than you know, just believe in what you see 

[Verse 2]
Life’s a long road from where I first stood,
From the cracked sidewalks to a new neighborhood.
Learned that change ain’t free, it comes with dues,
Had to lose a few things just to find my truth.

That heavy heart taught me how to stand taller,
Even in the silence, I can hear destiny call her.
Every closed door was a map in disguise,
Every “no” was a “yes” just wearin’ a disguise.

The past is a teacher, the pain is a sculptor,
The future’s in my hands like a photograph I hold up.
And when the night’s too long, I remind my soul,
Your story ain’t finished, the ink’s still bold.

[Chorus]
Keep your head high, let your heart stay wild 
There’s a light in the dark, it’s been there all the while 
When the road feels heavy, let your soul be free 
You’re stronger than you know, just believe in what you see

[Verse 3]
Don’t be afraid, you’re a heartbeat away
From the love that shaped you, still here today.
From the hands that held you, when you couldn’t stand,
From the prayers they whispered with your name in their hands.

You can dry your eyes, let the pain subside,
You’ve been weatherin’ storms, now it’s time to glide.
And when the road gets rough, keep that compass steady,
Your roots are deep, girl – you’ve been ready.

This is a love letter wrapped in a rhyme,
For the little me still standin’ back in time.
I’m here, I made it – through every twist and bend,
And I promise you, baby girl, we gon’ win in the end.

[Chorus]
Keep your head high, let your heart stay wild
There’s a light in the dark, it’s been there all the while
When the road feels heavy, let your soul be free 
You’re stronger than you know, just believe in what you see

[Outro]
Yeah…
We carry our beginnings with us,
Like seeds in our pocket.
Don’t drop ‘em.
Grow ‘em.
And never… forget your way home.
