At 14, I landed in Italy, feeling so lost,
School was a battlefield, didn’t care about the cost.
Teachers looked at me, judgment in their eyes,
Every class a struggle, I wore my own disguise.
Couldn’t focus, man, my mind was on the run,
Caught up in the chaos, felt like I’d never won.
Conflicts with the cops, yeah, I was always in trouble,
Streets were a jungle, life was bursting my bubble.
Dad was deep in drugs, didn’t care for my pain,
Pushed away like trash, lost in his own chain.
But in my dreams, I saw a different way,
A life full of purpose, I needed to break away.
Chorus
Italy, you were tough, but I’m rising strong,
Education in my heart, I’ve been fighting all along.
Grandparents showed me love, gave me hope to soar,
In the darkest nights, I found the light, I’m sure.
Verse 2
Living in a nightmare, every day was a fight,
Dad’s world of addiction kept me up every night.
Shouting and the chaos, no love to be found,
But I was searching for answers, I was ready to rebound.
Tried to hit the books, but my mind felt so hazy,
Every setback hit me hard, made me feel crazy.
Grandparents were my anchors, wisdom in their words,
Told me stories of struggle, of dreams that emerged.
“Keep your head up, kid, you’re destined for more,”
With their support behind me, I started to explore.
Education became my weapon, my path to escape,
Every lesson learned was like a chance to reshape.
Chorus
Italy, you were tough, but I’m rising strong,
Education in my heart, I’ve been fighting all along.
Grandparents showed me love, gave me hope to soar,
In the darkest nights, I found the light, I’m sure.
Verse 3
Days turned to months, I started to see,
With every little victory, I could finally be free.
Found a mentor at school, opened up my eyes,
Taught me about perseverance, the power of the wise.
I stayed late studying, never gave in to doubt,
With every page I turned, I learned what life’s about.
No more running from trouble, I faced it head-on,
Life’s a marathon, I was ready to run strong.
Friends I never had started to gather around,
We lifted each other up, we were breaking new ground.
Cops stopped bothering me, I was turning my life,
From the pain and the strife, I was cutting the knife.
Chorus
Italy, you were tough, but I’m rising strong,
Education in my heart, I’ve been fighting all along.
Grandparents showed me love, gave me hope to soar,
In the darkest nights, I found the light, I’m sure.
Bridge
Now I’m on a mission, can’t stop, won’t quit,
Every challenge I face, I’m ready to commit.
Building up my future, brick by brick,
With my dreams in sight, I’m moving quick.
Those who doubted me now watch me thrive,
In this journey of life, I’m finally alive.
Outro
Italy, you shaped me, can’t deny the fight,
From the shadows of pain, I’m stepping into the light.
With my heart full of dreams and my mind set free,
I’m the author of my story, just wait and see.
