Lyrics

Life started rough, pops bounced , moms dipped too,
Left alone, feeling lost, didn't know what to do.
My folks in Pohnpei, they took me under wing,
Wildin' out in the town, trouble was my thing.

(Chorus)
Now I'm on a grind, tryna find my way,
From Micronesia streets to Tennessee, I stay.
Dropped school in 9th grade, but I ain't lookin' back,
Almost eighteen, gotta keep my hustle on track.

(Verse 2)
Jail time, locked up, came back, went again,
My folks said focus, gotta find my zen.
Down in Alabama, parents beefin', took a toll,
Left that mess behind, now Tennessee's my goal.

(Chorus)
Now I'm on a grind, tryna find my way,
From Micronesia streets to Tennessee, I stay.
Dropped school in 9th grade, but I ain't lookin' back,
Almost eighteen, gotta keep my hustle on track.

(Bridge)
Living with my auntie, tryna get it right,
Buildin' up my future, shinin' in the night.
No more bad kid, time to change the game,
Gonna make my mark, put respect on my name.

(Chorus)
Now I'm on a grind, tryna find my way,
From Micronesia streets to Tennessee, I stay.
Dropped school in 9th grade, but I ain't lookin' back,
Almost eighteen, gotta keep my hustle on track.

(Outro)
So here I stand, ready to take control,
Life's been tough, but I'm aiming for my goal.
One step at a time, gonna make it through,
This is my story, and it's all brand new.
