[Verse]
Cruisin' block, sunset sinkin' low,
Homies twist somethin’, watch the cash flow,
Dodgin' the boys, duckin' popo,
Livin' every minute like it's borrowed.
[Verse 2]
Corner store tales, candy and straps,
Lil man dream big, scheme in caps,
Rooftop chill, hear the city's claps,
Life a dice game, watch for the traps.
[Chorus]
Hustle all night, the moon shines bright,
Hope ain't a lot, but damn, we fight,
Heart made of steel, souls take flight,
In the hood, every day’s a new plight.
[Verse 3]
Mama prayin' hard, tears in her eyes,
Smoke in the alley, reachin' for skies,
Dreams in the ghettos, dressed in disguise,
Chasin' paper, tellin' 'em lies.
[Bridge]
Whispers in the dark, shadows in the lane,
Blood stains wash, but the pain remains,
Street code script, etched in the brain,
History on repeat, in a city of chains.
[Chorus]
Hustle all night, the moon shines bright,
Hope ain't a lot, but damn, we fight,
Heart made of steel, souls take flight,
In the hood, every day’s a new plight.
