Night Shadows and Hustle

Living on the edge, shadows in the night

Every move calculated, just to get it right

Thanks to the struggle, we fight through the pain

In this concrete jungle, gotta stay sane

Standing on my block, serving these dreams

Chasing that hit, in these high-stakes scenes

Nine tucked beneath, playin' it cool

Playing this game, yeah, I learned the rules

Street life cold, got me caught up in the hype

Drowning in the chaos, tryna stay alive

Thoughts racing fast, devil on my shoulder

Waiting for the knock, yeah, I feel the colder

Can't sleep at night, paranoia in my mind

Hoping every sound's just a sign of time

Peeping through the curtains, always alert

Every move's a gamble, man, it hurts

Hit a lick, quicker than the blink of an eye

Now the crackhead's dead, no time to ask why

Put him down like a stray, euthanize the pain

Life in the fast lane, won't be the same

Fuck the world, gotta get my cash

Fighting these demons, tryna stay on track

Danger in my veins, gotta stay intact

Every night, man, I watch my back

Living in the shadows, dodging every threat

Counting every dollar, ain’t done yet

Pussy on the side, she keep me right

Make her suck me till the morning light

Streetlights glow, gotta keep it tight

Or you might get caught in the flash of the nine

Yeah, living fast, can't rewind

In these streets, gotta stay aligned

One wrong move, and it's all gone

Feds at the door, before dawn's dawn

Mama pray, I just wanna survive

Keep my head up, stay alive

Stay in the hustle, stay in the grind

In these streets, only truth and lies

Living life on the edge, till the end

Gotta keep my crown, my only friend
