W.I.P
• Written by AyoAustin
Verse 1
Abandoned young, forced into the fray
Had to become the hustle, find my own way
Empty pockets echoed the emptiness inside
Family vanished, leaving nowhere to hide
Chorus
Craved a hand to hold, a love to define
Instead, I'm drowning in this darkness, losing my mind
They say I messed up, strayed from the light
But all this hate burning, makes everything feel like a fight
Verse 2
Scraped by, surviving on scraps and on grit
Yearning for connection, a family I won't quit
But these streets, cold steel and shadows so deep
Just a mental prison where lost children weep
Chorus
They blame the choices, the roads I explored
But the hate they ignited, it twisted, it soared
From foster care walls to the concrete unknown
Seeing happy families, a fire of my own
Bridge
Mirror reflects a stranger, eyes filled with despair
Is it my fault, or do they even care?
Fate dealt a harsh hand, a cruel, twisted game
Wishing for rewind, to rewrite my name
Verse 3
But through the struggle, a truth I ignite
Friends became the family, a beacon burning bright
Their love a compass, guiding me through the night
Though the question lingers, a war I still fight
Outro
Family, friends, where do I belong?
Tangled in this mess, feeling never strong
But I'll rise from the ashes, find my own place
This ain't the end, a new chapter, a brand new space
