[Intro]
Back on these streets, writing my pain on these sheets
Trying to find peace, but I'm trapped in the deep
Lost my past, can't forget, got scars I won't show
Every day’s a battle, got me feeling so low
[Verse 1]
Wasting these sheets, the words spill out my mind
Rap is my release, but I know there's more to find
Can rap my ass off, trap my pain tighter
Way better my soul, fire burning brighter
[Pre-Chorus]
Wonder why I had to lose my folks so soon
Thinking ’bout the what ifs, staring at the moon
One wrong move, and I might be done
Living on the edge, just a step from none
[Chorus]
Standing on the cliff, thinking 'bout jumping
Caught in my thoughts, need to stop this thumping
Wishes I could talk to Dad and Mom
Too much on my mind, ‘bout to blow my calm
Game is my wife, streets is my life
Waiting for the knock, shadows in the night
Feds on my trail, now I gotta run
Wonder if they know where I come from
[Bridge]
Betrayal surrounds me, trust is a myth
Watching my back in every breath I my lift
Paranoid and scared, I breathe in dread
Hoping I survive, not be laid in a bed
[Outro]
Keep moving forward, no choice but to fight
Living this life in the shadow of night
Street's my home, my story to tell
In this concrete jungle, I'm living in hell
