(Intro)
Yeah, this one’s for the streets,
Where the pain runs deep,
Sarajevo nights, where the struggle don’t sleep.
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the Balkans, a city of scars,
Under the same sky, but we’re reaching for stars.
The echoes of war, yeah, they’re still in the air,
Memories of struggle, man, life ain’t fair.
Kids on the corner, dreams under the rubble,
Trying to make it out, but it’s a constant hustle.
Concrete jungle, the blocks feel like cages,
Writing my pain, let it bleed through the pages.
Broken streetlights, shadows in the alleys,
Cold nights got me counting up my valleys.
They see a city, but I see the fight,
Born in the dark, but I’m chasing the light.
(Chorus)
Sarajevo ghetto, where the cold wind blows,
Life hits hard, everybody knows.
But we rise, yeah, we fight, gotta keep it tight,
Surviving these streets on a Sarajevo night.
(Verse 2)
Mama worked two jobs just to keep us fed,
Papa’s hands broke, still earning that bread.
Six mouths to feed, and the rent’s past due,
But we stick together, that's how we pull through.
Empty fridges, but the hope stays full,
Life in the ghetto, man, it’s hard but it’s school.
Lessons in survival, hustling’s the Bible,
Keep your head high, never lose that fire.
Young boys dream of ballin’ or rapping,
But the streets pull them in, guns start clapping.
Sirens sing, another soul lost tonight,
But I spit these bars to keep the dream alive.
(Chorus)
Sarajevo ghetto, where the cold wind blows,
Life hits hard, everybody knows.
But we rise, yeah, we fight, gotta keep it tight,
Surviving these streets on a Sarajevo night.
(Bridge)
From the hills to the hood, yeah, the pain’s the same,
We all carry burdens, we all know the game.
But beneath the rubble, roses still bloom,
Even in the struggle, we make room.
(Outro)
So here’s to Sarajevo, to the fighters, the dreamers,
To the kids on the block, to the silent screamers.
From the ashes we rise, like a phoenix in flight,
This is for the ghetto, on a Sarajevo night.
(Chorus)
Sarajevo ghetto, where the cold wind blows,
Life hits hard, everybody knows.
But we rise, yeah, we fight, gotta keep it tight,
Surviving these streets on a Sarajevo night.
