Against The Odds Video (MV)

Started from the bottom, where the sun barely shines
Poverty and pain, had to hustle for my dimes
Betrayal in the shadows, friends turnin' into foes
Trustin' no one but myself, that's the life I chose
Late nights in the alley, dreams heavy on my mind
Dodgin' every bullet, every snake I had to find
Self-doubt creepin' in, but I kept my focus tight
Knew I'd rise above it all, like a phoenix in the night
From the gutter to the glory, yeah, I made it through
Ambition in my veins, loyalty stays true
Against the odds, I rose, now I'm livin' proof
Resilience in my soul, I got nothin' to lose
Mama workin' double shifts, tears fallin' like rain
Told her one day I'd make it, no more livin' in this pain
From the projects to the stage, now they scream my name
But I never forget the struggle, never forget the game
Heart cold as ice, but my spirit's burnin' hot
Every loss, every scar, just a lesson that I got
Loyalty to my roots, never switchin' up my lane
Success in my grasp, but the hustle stays the same
From the gutter to the glory, yeah, I made it through
Ambition in my veins, loyalty stays true
Against the odds, I rose, now I'm livin' proof
Resilience in my soul, I got nothin' to lose
Stackin' up the paper, but it ain't about the cash
It's about survival, how I made it through the crash
When the world tried to break me, I stood tall
Turned my pain into power, never fearin' a fall
Had the world on my shoulders, pressure every day
But I carried that weight, never swerved, never swayed
Now the doors that were locked, I'm breakin' them down
From the block to the penthouse, I'm wearin' the crown
From the gutter to the glory, yeah, I made it through
Ambition in my veins, loyalty stays true
Against the odds, I rose, now I'm livin' proof
Resilience in my soul, I got nothin' to lose
The doubters used to laugh, now they nod and show respect
Told 'em I was comin' up, now I cash that check
But it ain't about the fame, it's about stayin' true
I did it for my people, now we all comin' through
