Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Born under streetlights, the shadows my cradle Hands in my pockets, my heart's on the table No silver spoon, just a rusted ladle Life dealt me cards, every hand unstable Mama prayed loud, but the walls stayed hollow Stealing my tomorrows, a debt I can't swallow Pavement my scripture, inked in sorrow A hymn for the lost, no hope to borrow [Prechorus] Crossroads spoke in a voice so stern Said, "Son, once you step, there's no return" [Chorus] No redemption left, no grace to lend Sins too heavy, they never mend Forgiveness ain't written in this story's end No redemption left, just me and the wind [Verse 2] First time I stole, it was bread, it was hunger By the time I blinked, the crimes got younger Concrete jungle, the roar and thunder Chains on my soul, pulling me under Bruised knuckles, bloodstains on my pride Guilt's a shadow, I can't override But guilt don't pay, so the streets provide I traded my tears for a darker tide
