Resist (5)

[Intro]
I came from the bottom, no silver spoon, no crown,
Had to hustle in the dark just to see the light now.
Every sunrise I’m up, every sunset I grow,
I’m the paper boy, yeah, chasin’ bags of dough.

[Verse 1]
Wake up, heart poundin’, same dream every night,
Stack that bread, live free, keep my hustle tight.
From penny dreams to dollar schemes, I paved my way,
Didn’t pray for luck, I worked for the day.
They don’t see the sleepless nights, the hunger in my gut,
The pain behind the smile, the scars I shut.
Every failure taught me somethin’ more than pride,
That the road to success got tears to hide.
Now I’m movin’ weight, not the type they fear,
But ambition heavy as the voices I hear.
The grind don’t stop, the mission don’t sleep,
‘Cause the paper boy’s hustle runnin’ too deep.

[Chorus]
I’m the paper boy chasin’ bags of dough,
Runnin’ through the rain, through the highs and lows.
Every loss I took just helped me grow,
Now the streets scream my name ‘cause they know, they know.
I’m the paper boy, yeah, I’m chasin’ my fate,
Turnin’ hunger to hustle, pain to weight.
From the block to the throne, watch me blow,
I’m the paper boy, chasin’ bags of dough.

[Verse 2]
Had holes in my shoes, but not in my drive,
They counted me out, but I stayed alive.
I remember nights with no heat or light,
Still dreamt big, saw the stars ignite.
Every coin I flipped had a wish behind,
Every dollar earned had a piece of my mind.
Ain’t no handouts, I built this from grit,
Blood, sweat, and time, I never quit.
You see the chains, I see the cost,
You see the wins, I see the loss.
Every move I make got lessons to show,
Every bag I chase got a story to know.

[Chorus]
I’m the paper boy chasin’ bags of dough,
Dodgin’ every shadow, lettin’ blessings flow.
Took the pain they gave, turned it into gold,
Now I’m rich in strength, not just what’s sold.
I’m the paper boy, yeah, on my grind,
Every setback built a stronger mind.
From the storm I rose, steady and slow,
I’m the paper boy chasin’ bags of dough.

[Bridge]
Ain’t about greed, it’s about respect,
About feedin’ my fam and earnin’ my check.
It’s about dreams they said I’d never see,
Now I’m livin’ proof, that dream is me.
Money come and go, but the lessons stay,
Every bag I chase shapes my way.
They say success is cold, but my fire’s divine,
I’m the paper boy, and the world is mine.

[Verse 3]
Now the whip clean, but the pain still near,
I still hear the voices from my younger years.
“Keep goin’, never fold, don’t lose your soul,”
I kept that mantra deep in control.
I ain’t just chasin’ wealth, I’m buildin’ peace,
‘Cause the grind don’t end when the cash increase.
I’m chasin’ legacy, not just fame,
Every move I make engraves my name.
From broken dreams to concrete hope,
I learned to swim where most would choke.
Now I’m cruisin’ through the city, moonlight glow,
Thinkin’ ‘bout the kid who wouldn’t let go.

[Chorus]
I’m the paper boy chasin’ bags of dough,
Every scar I got’s a badge I show.
Through the pain, through the nights so cold,
I became the story that had to unfold.
I’m the paper boy, yeah, still I climb,
Countin’ blessings, not just dimes.
From the dirt to the shine, that’s how I grow,
I’m the paper boy chasin’ bags of dough.

[Outro]
I don’t chase money, I chase the life I owe,
To the ones who believed when the lights were low.
Every dollar’s a prayer, every stack a vow,
I made it this far, I’m here, right now.
Self-made soldier, through fire and snow,
Forever the paper boy, chasin’ bags of dough.
