Shadows of the Streets

Yeah, this is my story, memories carved in the streets

Dark nights, sharp lights, where life moves so discreet

A tale of survival, of scars and of pain

Ride with me through the rain, through the struggle, through the rain

Grew up on concrete, where the echoes never fade

Hustle in my veins, every corner got a shade

Fast cars, loud scars, the chaos never slows

Learning in the shadows, where the true story grows

First time I shot, hands shakin' but I aimed

Fear mixed with adrenaline, never feel the same

First smoke, heart choked, dreams so far away

Lost in the haze, trying to make it through the day

Every night a war zone, every day the same grind

Lessons in the violence, scars upon my mind

But deep inside I know there's a different way

Gotta find the light, break out, make a change someday

Growing up in the streets, fighting just to breathe

Life's a gamble, heavy weight on me

From the shadows I rise, no disguise, I testify

To the struggle, to the pain, I survived, I testify

Yo, I seen the worst, done things I can't reverse

Lost some brothers, seen the curse, feeling cursed

But I rise from the dirt, use the pain as my verse

Turn the hurt into strength, universe, I disperse

Never forget where I come from, it’s part of my soul

Every scar's a story, every story's gold

Keep my head up high, I’m chasing my goals

Made it from the pain, now watch me unfold

Now I speak my truth, no longer in the shadows

Walking my path, breaking free from the battles

From the streets to the top, I rise and I battle

Turn my hardships into songs, my life’s new chapter
