[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
