[00:09.93]Back when the fridge was hummin' but empty
[00:12.29]Mama made dinner from nothin' still fed me
[00:15.75]Pops dipped out but I stayed steady
[00:18.19]Learned young that the world ain't ready
[00:20.84]Hood rats fightin' on the blacktop noon
[00:23.78]Grandma prayin' in a back room
[00:25.79]I was ten with a pen writin' rhymes in gloom
[00:28.28]Turned pain to a beat now I light up the room
[00:30.84]From the porch to the Payday I made it mine
[00:33.63]Every scar on my soul still shines
[00:36.12]If you heard my past you'd know why I grind
[00:38.74]Can't fake real and I walk that line
[00:41.87]Yeah I walk that line
[00:43.94]With dust on my boots and fire in my spine
[00:46.40]No script no lie no studio shine
[00:49.06]Just truth in the verse and I walk that line
[00:51.54]Seen friends get rich and fall by the flame
[00:54.25]Others still stuck in that dope-boy game
[00:56.87]Me? I chose pain over fame
[00:58.81]Took the long road with a broke-ass name
[01:01.38]Gas station nights notebook dreams
[01:03.92]Rappin' over static and dollar-store beams
[01:06.48]They said “you ain't cut from the cloth that gleams”
[01:08.98]I said “nah I'm cut from the thread that bleeds”
[01:11.45]From the porch to the Pain
[01:12.42]From the porch to the Pain I made it mine
[01:15.16]Every scar on my soul still shines
[01:17.42]If you heard my past you'd know why I grind
[01:20.14]Can't fake real and I walk that line
[01:23.11]Yeah I walk that line
[01:25.22]With dust on my boots and fire in my spine
[01:27.71]No script no lie no studio shine
[01:30.30]Just truth in the verse and I walk that line
[01:32.92]I seen eviction taped to the door
[01:35.28]Turned hunger pains into metaphors
[01:37.91]Wrote bars by the candle when the lights went out
[01:40.44]Still spit truth when the mic had doubt
[01:43.02]Had homies in cuffs and dreams in chalk
[01:45.35]The block raised me but the pain did the talk
[01:48.17]Now I'm older wiser but the fire ain't soft
[01:51.11]Still throw heat like I never took a loss
[01:53.39]You don't learn nothin' 'til the world goes cold
[01:56.01]'Til you've been down bad and your story's old
[01:58.45]But even then if you rise and you hold
[02:01.42]You walk that line and you walk it bold
[02:03.82]From the porch to the studio I made it mine
[02:06.51]Every scar on my soul still shines
[02:08.98]If you heard my past you'd know why I grind
[02:11.64]Can't fake real and I walk that line
[02:14.80]Yeah I walk that line
[02:16.80]With dust on my boots and fire in my spine
[02:19.28]No script no lie no studio shine
[02:21.92]Just truth in the verse and I walk that line
