" Rebel of the Shadows"

I experienced early on the block
Don't respect a rebel

So I etched my own lane, created 
On truth,

And battled every day just to
Earn my come-up

' Cause the streets only fear a real rebel

One who won't fold, won't flex from the truth. 

Some twilights I bled for the cost of truth

But discomfort never immobilized  my

Hierarchy rise,

It only amplified the fire in a rebel. 

Rebel, truth, rise; the lore I transmit through 

The shadows
