[Verse]
Dark alleys whisper stories untold
Pavement cracked
Hearts turn cold
I sold my soul for a pocket of change
Now I’m running these streets
Feeling deranged
Got my hoodie up
Shadow on the wall
A knock
A bang
Then silence falls
Empty fridge
Baby crying in the crib
I break the law so my family can live
[Chorus]
Concrete shadows
Life on the edge
Stealing moments
Running from the feds
Gotta hustle
Gotta fight
Can’t let it go
This is the life I live
It’s all I know
[Verse 2]
Knuckles bruised
Blood stains on my sleeve
A fistful of dreams but none to believe
I sell poison ‘cause the world sold me lies
Cash in my pocket
Guilt in my eyes
Mama praying but I can’t hear her voice
Too many bad decisions
Not enough choice
They call me a villain
But what do they see
A man surviving in a world of debris
[Prechorus]
Streetlights flicker
Shadows stretch thin
Each night’s a gamble
Who’s gonna win
But I keep running
Heart full of sin
