Lyrics
Gravel in our voices, dirt on our hands We're the forgotten ones, makin' our own plans Beat keeps knockin', hearts keep lockin' Every move we make, you know we ain't stoppin' Long roads ahead, but our spirits high Dirty South got the fire, we'll never die (Verse 1) Woke up this morning, hunger on my mind, Dreaming of a place where I could leave it all behind, Pockets feelin' empty, can't pay the rent, Streets so cold, but I walk with my head bent. Got my fam to feed, it's a daily fight, Mama workin' two jobs just to make things right, But the struggle ain't easy, gotta stay strong, Keep my hope alive, even when it's all wrong. (Chorus) Poverty's a mountain, I keep climbing high, But the view ain't clear, just clouds in the sky, No time for givin' up, I gotta stay on the grind, Fighting through the dark, till the light I find. (Verse 2) Corner store dreams, countin' every cent, Hustle's real tough, but my soul's not bent, Keep the faith alive, got no time to rest, Every day a battle, put my heart to the test. Living on hope, a future I can't see, But I keep my head up, never let it break me, Dreamin' of a life beyond the struggles and strife, Gonna rise above, break free from this life. (Chorus) Poverty's a mountain, I keep climbing high, But the view ain't clear, just clouds in the sky, No time for givin' up, I gotta stay on the grind, Fighting through the dark, till the light I find. (Bridge) I see the stars, even in the darkest nights, Gotta keep pushin', gonna make it right, Rise from the ashes, no fear in my eyes, Gonna touch the sky, where the eagle flies. (Verse 3) Keep my dreams alive, gotta push on through, Though the world's so cold, gotta stay true, Breaking these chains, one day I'll be free, From the grips of poverty, that's my destiny. Gonna paint a new life, with colors so bright, Step into the future, with hope and insight, For every struggle faced, there's a strength inside, Together we rise, on this journey we ride. (Chorus) Poverty's a mountain, I keep climbing high, But the view ain't clear, just clouds in the sky, No time for givin' up, I gotta stay on the grind, Fighting through the dark, till the light I find.
