Refren (catchy, dur):
Gritty streets, I run it, never back down,
Money, power, respect, I wear the crown.
Hustle in the shadows, survive every fight,
Gangsta life, fra, we do it right.
Strofa 1:
From the concrete jungle, born to survive,
Every day a battle, gotta stay alive.
Bullets fly, sirens wail, I never fall,
Eyes on the prize, I stand tall.
Hustlers in the corner, plotting what they can,
I’m the dog in the game, every man a fan.
Cash in my pocket, grind hard, stay mean,
DMX style, living life like a machine.
Dark nights, city lights, pain in my chest,
Struggle made me strong, never settle for less.
Refren (catchy, dur):
Gritty streets, I run it, never back down,

Strofa 2:
Pavement hot, tires smoke, engines roar,
Every block a battlefield, streets I explore.
Enemies plotting, gotta move smart,
Life in the fast lane, never fall apart.
Cash rules the game, loyalty tested hard,
If you fake, get out, or end up scarred.
Nightmares in the alley, but I walk with pride,
Every hustler knows, we ride or die.
Chains heavy, heart heavy, pain in my veins,
Through the blood and sweat, only strength remains.

Strofa 3:
Smoke clouds, bass loud, city never sleeps,
Every step a story, every scar runs deep.
From the projects to the block, every move precise,
Life taught me lessons, paid the ultimate price.
Dogs in the game, yeah we never quit,
Stackin’ racks, makin’ moves, that’s legit.
Dark nights, street lights, pain in my soul,
DMX mentality, I take control.
Money, respect, survival, that’s the creed,
Through the struggle and the fight, I always lead.
Refren (catchy, dur):

Outro (dur):
Born from the struggle, raised by the grind,
Every scar, every loss, keeps me defined.
No fear, no limits, DMX in my soul,
Through the fire and the streets, I take control.
