[Intro]
Yeah, these streets got a heavy toll
Kids runnin’ wild, losin’ control
Think it’s all fun and games, but lost souls
Time to wake up, see the real goal
[Verse 1]
They was young, thought they knew the score
Running fast, wanting more, what’s the rush for?
Robbing, scamming, shooting at the sky
Nothing but a broken path, but they can't deny
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they lookin’ from the outside in
Realize the pain deep within
Came up in a world where respect’s thin
Gotta change the game, gotta win
[Chorus]
Wanna ride the fast cars, chase the fame
Get the women, live the dream, make a name
But the street’s a trap, it’s a deadly gain
Only leads to sorrow, death, and pain
When you on that wall, wish for another day
Life’s more than street tales, find your way
Respect the struggle, learn and pray
Cause only love will save you 'fore it’s too late
[Verse 2]
Jail cell walls have stories to tell
Of those who failed, who fell, who dwelled
On a life of violence, no escape
Got to choose the road, break the tape
[Pre-Chorus]
Think about your mama’s face
Your future lost in this race
Life’s more than guns and chase
Find a higher place
[Chorus]
Wanna ride the fast cars, chase the fame
Get the women, live the dream, make a name
But the street’s a trap, it’s a deadly gain
Only leads to sorrow, death, and pain
When you on that wall, wish for another day
Life’s more than street tales, find your way
Respect the struggle, learn and pray
Cause only love will save you 'fore it’s too late
[Bridge]
Change your ways, it’s not too late
Turn the page, escape the fate
Life’s a gift, don’t let it waste
Find your peace, embrace your state
[Outro]
Kids bein’ knuckleheads, hear the call
Respect, love, stand tall
Make a choice, break the wall
Live for more, or watch it all fall
