Codes on the block now, shootin' with the scripts
Imports throwin' every module in the mix
Grew up broke, couldn't buy what they had
Old dusty keyboard, screen flicker lookin' bad
Friends on machines with the power to race
While I sat in the corner, slow load on my face
Couldn't game, couldn't run what they ran
Pentium scraps in a second-hand can
But when you starve for the tools, you adapt to survive
Every bite like gold, just to keep code alive
They had power, but I had to fight Learned the value of code in the dark of the night
Every cycle, every bite, I was sharpenin' my blade
Now my skills cut deeper than the money they paid
They had speed, but I had the time
Turned the pain of the broke to a power in my mind
From the struggle in the dark to the code in the light I became who I am
Cause I counted every bite
Couldn't waste RAM, every line had to count
Optimized loops, kept the memory down
They wrote sloppy, let the frameworks just hide
I dug deeper in the bits, man, I stripped it with pride
No eye bling, just a notepad screen
Debugged by the sweat, kept the logic clean
They were flexin' on the hardware, but they missed the grind
While I sharpened every skill that would free my mind
They had power, but I had to fight
Learned the value of code in the dark of the night
Every cycle, every bite, I was sharpenin' my blade
Now my skills cut deeper than the money they paid
They had speed, but I had the time
Turned the pain of the broke to a power in my mind
From the struggle in the dark to the code in the light
I became who I am, cause I counted every bite
Now I stand with the crown, they can't touch my flow
On they thousand dollar rigs, but their code runs slow
I built empires on scraps, learned to do more with less
Now I'm teachin' the giants, watch them fail the test
They laughed at my box, said I'd never compete
But my hunger wrote lines they could never delete
See the beauty in the struggle where the power ignite
I was broke as a kid, now I'm rich in the bite
They had power, but I had to fight
Learned the value of code in the dark of the night
Every cycle, every bite, I was sharpenin' my blade
Now my skills cut deeper than the money they paid
They had speed, but I had the time
Turned the pain of the broke to a power in my mind
From the struggle in the dark to the code in the light
I became who I am, cause I counted every bite
