[Verse]
Street’s a chessboard, pawns get buried in the alleys
Knights on the corners, kings hide in palace valleys
Turf split like bread rolls, crumbs feed the crows
Every glance a gamble, dice rolls in shadows
Daily feuds, they throw hands or metal shrapnel
Neighbors turn rivals, yesterday’s friends dismantled
Ruthless with the silence, no whispers, just eruptions
A handshake turns to fractions, cities under construction
[Chorus]
I never start it, but I never back away
The war zone’s my jungle, I’m a beast in the fray
Concrete under fire, skies painted with gray
Every step’s a battle, every breath I replay
[Verse 2]
Council flats echo shots, symphonies of danger
Youngins gripping heat, they ain't strangers to the anger
Postcodes tattooed, boundaries etched in pain
Life’s a gamble, they’re playing poker in the rain
Ruthless crews, masked up like theater plays
Streetlight halos flicker through the smoke haze
Blood’s currency, every drop feeds the feud
Survival’s the anthem, sung by the crude
[Bridge]
The street’s a symphony, percussion of fear
Echoes of war drums, they pound near and clear
Tales etched in pavement, each crack tells a tale
Footsteps of ghosts, on this treacherous trail
