Cold nights, sirens echo through the avenue,
Concrete jungle, yeah the pressure what we grew into,
Mama said stay sharp, keep your head on straight,
‘Cause the block don’t love you, it just tests your fate.
Hood scars, every corner got a memory,
Lost souls tryna turn pain into legacy,
Eyes low, ‘cause trust is a rare thing,
Every smile got a shadow, every crown got a sting.
**Hook:**
We just tryna make it through the night, yeah,
City lights flicker, wrong or right, yeah,
Heart cold but the vision still bright, yeah,
Survival code—just live, don’t die, yeah.
We just tryna make it through the storm, yeah,
World cold, gotta keep it warm, yeah,
Stand tall even when you worn, yeah,
Survival code—that’s how we’re born, yeah.
I move quiet, every step calculated,
Seen dreams fall down, seen hope confiscated,
Gotta play it smart, every choice got weight,
In a world where tomorrow always come too late.
Late nights, thinking how to break the cycle,
Same blocks, different faces in the same title,
Tryna find a way out, but the road stay tight,
Every turn feel heavy when you chasing that light.
OG told me keep my focus on the bigger plan,
Don’t let the struggle turn you into something less than a man,
So I carry every lesson, every scar, every code,
Turn pain into purpose while I walk this road.
No fairy tales written on these streets of mine,
Just survival code, every day on the line,
Still I rise, never folding under pressure,
Turn the struggle into fuel, make it something better.
**Hook (repeat):**
We just tryna make it through the night, yeah,
City lights flicker, wrong or right, yeah,
Heart cold but the vision still bright, yeah,
Survival code—just live, don’t die, yeah.
We just tryna make it through the storm, yeah,
World cold, gotta keep it warm, yeah,
Stand tall even when you worn, yeah,
Survival code—that’s how we’re born, yeah.
