Tit for Tat

Yeah, it's a game we play

In the streets every day,

Two nines on my side,

Let's see who will stay.

In the twilight, shadows creeping in the night,

Two nines in my grip, ready for a fight.

Arguing like children, throwing words like stones,

In this city, we’re never lonely, just never alone.

Round and round these streets we roam,

Caught up in the chaos, never feel at home.

When one gets hit, the other falls back,

This is the rhythm of our tit for tat.

Tit for tat, we dance in the dark,

Fires flaming bright, igniting a spark.

Underneath the streetlights, where the wild things play,

It's a tit for tat world, we live day to day.

Conversations heated, no time for regret,

Words like bullets, can’t take the threat.

One pulls a trigger, the other one reacts,

In this game of survival, it’s all about the facts.

Feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins,

In a flash, it’s all over, but the thrill remains.

When one takes a shot, the other attacks,

This is the rhythm of our tit for tat.

Tit for tat, we dance in the dark,

Fires flaming bright, igniting a spark.

Underneath the streetlights, where the wild things play,

It's a tit for tat world, we live day to day.

And when the dust settles, what do we gain?

Memories of battles, marking our pain.

But it’s a brotherhood forged, in the heat of the night,

Through the highs and the lows, we’ll stand and fight.

Tit for tat, we dance in the dark,

Fires flaming bright, igniting a spark.

Underneath the streetlights, where the wild things play,

It's a tit for tat world, we live day to day.

So here’s to the night, to the wild, to the brave,

In this tit for tat life, we are the raves.

No end in sight, just a price to pay,

In this game of tit for tat, we find our way.
