1325 South Ohio

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 1325, South Ohio Avenue I was down bad, rain in my shoes Dogs without a roof, I knew that tune Cold hallways, hunger, bad news I was a gutter junkie, lost in the haze Pipe in my hand, my mind in a cage Loved by the block, then I burned that bridge Took from my people, put trust in the ditch [Pre-Chorus] Then I hit rock bottom Face in the mud I had to stop Had to crawl back up Every scar told truth Every lie got cut I was dead to me Til I stood back up [Chorus] From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose ACE O, that’s my mode ACE O, watch me grow I was stealing from home Now I build from the bones From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose [Verse 2] Now I’m on the block with a hard-earned name Helping my people, I don’t play them games Bought my mama peace, put food on the plate Fixed that porch up, made that frame sit straight Leaders move quiet, but the work still loud I was lost in the smoke, now I’m lifting the crowd They remember my lows, but they know my climb From the dirt to the roof, I earned my shine [Pre-Chorus] Then I hit rock bottom Face in the mud I had to stop Had to crawl back up Every scar told truth Every lie got cut I was dead to me Til I stood back up [Chorus] From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose ACE O, that’s my mode ACE O, watch me grow I was stealing from home Now I build from the bones From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose [Bridge] I know that stain, I know that shame I wore that pain like a second name But I broke that chain, I changed that lane Now I bring hope when I speak my name [Final Chorus] From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose ACE O, that’s my mode ACE O, watch me grow I was stealing from home Now I build from the bones From rock bottom, I rose From rock bottom, I rose
