RedWine - Bad Hand

He was born on the wrong side of town,
Where dreams get crushed, and hope gets drowned
His mama worked her fingers to the bone,
Daddy walked out, left an empty home

But he's got a fire in his eyes, a will to survive,
Gonna make sure his mama never has to work another night
Dealt a bad hand, but he's playing his cards,
Gonna rise from the ashes, heal their scars

Verse 2:
Schoolyard fights and worn-out shoes,
Counting coins to pay their dues
Gave his mama a hard time, wasn't always good,
But every step he took was for her, understood

But he's got a fire in his eyes, a will to survive,
Gonna make sure his mama never has to work another night
Dealt a bad hand, but he's playing his cards,
Gonna rise from the ashes, heal their scars

Late nights dreaming under the stars,
A heart full of hope, despite all the scars
He knows life's a battle, but he's ready to fight,
Gonna turn the darkness into light

He's working hard, chasing dreams so high,
Wants to see his mama smile, not a tear in her eye
Owes it all to her, for the strength she gave,
Gonna repay her love, every penny saved

But he's got a fire in his eyes, a will to survive,
Gonna make sure his mama never has to work another night
Dealt a bad hand, but he's playing his cards,
Gonna rise from the ashes, heal their scars

So here's to the kid with the odds stacked high,
He'll reach the top, touch the sky
Dealt a bad hand, but he's proving them wrong,
With every step, he's writing his own song
