Streets of Survival

Running through the shadows, city lights below,

Echoes of the sirens, they won't let me go.

Streets painted in danger, my heart beats like a drum,

In the city of wind, man, where we're all just numb.

Nightfall creeps in, it's a dangerous game,

Friend turned foe, now we’re calling out names.

I lost a brother to the crossfire roar,

Memories of laughter, can't knock on his door.

Pavements like graves, where the stories unfold,

Promises broken, our dreams bought and sold.

Running from shadows that just won’t let me be,

Every corner I turn, feels like staring at me.

But I've learned to rise from ashes of the past,

These chains won't hold me, I’m breaking free at last.

In this city of struggle, we fight to stay alive,

Underneath the streetlights, where the lost souls thrive.

Guns and drugs, they linger in the night,

But we’re still running, chasing dreams in the fight.

Caught up in the charges, but I’m carving my way,

No life behind bars, man, I’m destined to stay.

Every second's a gamble, when you’re living this life,

Scratch a little closer, bet it all on the strife.

Streets whisper tales of the battles we choose,

As faces fade away, like the smoke from the fuse.

With every loss I carry, I hold on tight,

Fuel for the fire, I’ll keep up the fight.

But I've learned to rise from ashes of the past,

These chains won't hold me, I’m breaking free at last.

In this city of struggle, we fight to stay alive,

Underneath the streetlights, where the lost souls thrive.

Guns and drugs, they linger in the night,

But we’re still running, chasing dreams in the fight.

Barely sleeping, hearts always racing,

Friends become ghosts, in this life we’re facing.

But I'll carry their names, through the dark and the pain,

In a world full of thunder, I'm dancing in the rain.

So I'll run these streets, hear the voices in my head,

For every fallen soldier, a promise we’ll spread.

The city may try, but it won’t take my soul,

I’ll fight for the love, that’s how I roll.
