[Verse 1]
Born in '98, a child of fate
But life was tough, I couldn't escape
Daddy left, momma tried her best
But the struggle never seemed to rest

[Chorus]
Nineteen ninety-eight, the year of my birth
But life was a struggle, from the moment of earth
But I kept on fighting, with all of my might
And I made my way, through the darkest of nights

[Verse 2]
The streets were rough, I had to be tough
Grew up too fast, never enough
Saw friends die, at a tender age
But I kept pushing, through the rage

[Chorus]
Nineteen ninety-eight, the year of my birth
But life was a struggle, from the moment of earth
But I kept on fighting, with all of my might
And I made my way, through the darkest of nights

[Verse 3]
I found solace, in music and rhyme
Poured out my soul, with every line
Shared my pain, with those who could relate
And found a family, in the love and the hate
[Chorus]
Nineteen ninety-eight, the year of my birth
But life was a struggle, from the moment of earth
But I kept on fighting, with all of my might
And I made my way, through the darkest of nights
