[Intro]
Yeah, we been down that road too many times
Learned the hard way, I gotta say my mind
Hold tight, stay real, stay low, keep control
This is the story of lives lost and hearts grown cold
[Verse 1]
Started out with a dream, but the wrong friends showed up
Saw the cameras flash, now the silence fills my cup
Thought they wanted the best, but they just wanted the fall
Trust was a game, and I lost it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Made choices in the dark, now I see the light
One or two riding for me, the rest just stare or fight
Hold my tongue, walk my path, make my own way
Gotta keep it real, can't let the temptation sway
[Chorus]
Make your own moves, stay true to you
Don’t let the life decide what you’re gonna do
Some people just wanna see you fail and drown
But I gotta stand tall, can't be brought down
[Bridge]
Jail cells are cold, and death’s too quick
For the friends who fake, for the ones who stick
Keep your mouth closed, eyes on the prize
Living clean, avoiding lies
[Outro]
This life’s a test we all must face
Choose your circle with care and grace
Keep your head up, stay strong, be wise
No more living dead inside
Remember, life’s your story, make it right.
