[Verse]
Wake up in the trap, dreams of gold chains gleamin'
Ghetto symphonies, hear the streets screamin'
Footsteps echo, walls painted in graffiti
Survival mode, daily grind ain't easy
[Verse 2]
Old sneakers hittin' pavement, dodgin' potholes deep
Roaches in the corner, momma always weep
Hustle hard, hope to rise above these cracks
Double-crossed fate, no time to look back
[Chorus]
Choir in the backdrop, angels sing the blues
Subwoofer boomin', wipin' tears from my shoes
A twisted lullaby, serenade the night's cold
From rags to riches, my story unfolds
[Verse 3]
Corner store quick stops, life lessons on the fly
Under streetlights, false dreams don’t die
Dirty dollar bills, paper chase never ends
In this game of life, got no real friends
[Bridge]
Echoes of the choir, hope in vocal tones
Bass shakes the asphalt, breakin' all the bones
Lost souls wander, find peace in the beat
Through the grime and the grind, our hearts still meet
[Verse 4]
Scarred knuckles, bruised egos in this steel jungle
Feds on the prowl, watch the pie pieces crumble
Poetic warfare, words hit harder than swings
Grittin' teeth, push forth despite the stings
