(Verse 1)
Fresno dirt in my veins, wrestling ring my fight,
Mom’s words cut like glass in the dead of night.
“Failure,” she’d hiss, venom sharp as a blade,
Left scars on my soul, in the shadows I’d fade.
(Pre-Chorus)
Found refuge in the dark, chasing ways to feel numb,
Took desperate roads, but my heart wouldn’t succumb.
(Chorus)
(Scratched, distorted female vocal) “You’re such a disgrace!”
Didn’t care what they named it, I fought to stay alive,
Gave up pieces of myself just to breathe and survive.
Now the fog’s clearing, OC sun lights my way,
Got a family now, Mom—I’m free from your cage.
(Verse 2)
Fresno’s dust in the past, OC’s glow feels so strange,
Built a life from the ashes, but old ghosts still arrange.
Clean now, yeah, washing off the lies and the pain,
But the hustle’s still real, just a different kind of chain.
(Pre-Chorus)
Daylight’s my battleground, no more hiding in shame,
Found a spark in the struggle, rewriting my name.
(Chorus)
(Scratched, distorted female vocal) “You’re such a disgrace!”
Didn’t care what they named it, I fought to stay alive,
Gave up pieces of myself just to breathe and survive.
Now the fog’s clearing, OC sun lights my way,
Got a family now, Mom—I’m free from your cage.
(Bridge)
Her venom still hums, like a needle in my mind,
But I’m breaking those chains, leaving her hate behind.
From Fresno’s cold streets to a life I’ve reclaimed,
The past is just a shadow, and I’m done with the blame.
(Chorus)
(Scratched, distorted female vocal) “You’re such a disgrace!”
Didn’t care what they named it, I fought to stay alive,
Gave up pieces of myself just to breathe and survive.
Now the fog’s clearing, OC sun lights my way,
Got a family now, Mom—I’m free from your cage.
(Outro)
Yeah, Mom, your words don’t own me, your screams fade to gray,
Fresno’s a ghost now—I’m building my own way.
(Heavy, distorted guitar riff fades out)
