A powerful anthem capturing the rise of a man who once lived on the streets but discovers wealth and the complexities that come with it. This song tells a story of transformation, reflecting on the life lessons learned, the friends left behind, and the newfound challenges of success.
Verse 1:
I was livin' in the shadows, a life hard to embrace,
Street corners my kingdom, but I never found my place.
A paper cup for dreams, a blanket for my soul,
Life was just a struggle, never meant to be whole.
Chorus:
But now the lights are shining, the gold is in my hands,
From the gutter to the glamour, oh, ain't it all so grand?
I’m a king without a crown, from the ashes, I arise,
In this world of wealth and wonder, can’t believe my eyes.
Verse 2:
I walked those lonely avenues, slept beneath the stars,
Now I'm driving in a Bentley, counting all my scars.
The dreams that felt so distant now are vivid and alive,
But riches bring their troubles, can I really thrive?
Chorus:
But now the lights are shining, the gold is in my hands,
From the gutter to the glamour, oh, ain't it all so grand?
I’m a king without a crown, from the ashes, I arise,
In this world of wealth and wonder, can’t believe my eyes.
Bridge:
But what of my brothers, the ones left behind?
In this world of plenty, why's their fate unkind?
I’ll share my gold and wisdom, we’ll rise as one,
Together we'll create a life, shining brighter than the sun.
Chorus:
Cause now the lights are shining, the gold is in my hands,
From the gutter to the glamour, oh, ain't it all so grand?
I’m a king without a crown, from the ashes, I arise,
In this world of wealth and wonder, can’t believe my eyes.
Outro:
So here’s to the dreamers, the fighters in the night,
With hope as our compass, we’ll navigate the light.
With every step of fortune, I won’t forget my past,
From the streets to the gold, this life is meant to last.
