(yeah… hey… listen)
Tryna make sense in this dark time
Life heavy, got weight on my spine
They don’t know what it cost, the fight
But I see hope in the black of the night
Street ain’t home, it’s a test of the soul
I’m tryna feed more than just my own
Voices loud but my heart stay low
‘Cause we want truth, let’s keep it close
We been down bad but I see light (see light)
Pain in my chest but I still fight (still fight)
Voices in the street all cry (all cry)
But I won’t lie, I want better life (better life)
We been lost but we found truth (found truth)
Scars on my heart but I hold you (hold you)
Pray for my fam, keep it all true (all true)
Never gon’ fold, stand strong too (stand strong too)
Can’t fake this shit, too real for me
Life lessons carved in memories
I seen brothers fall for jealousy
I seen dreams die with no remedy
But I’m tryna hold mine steady
Hands scarred but the heart stay ready
Told moms I would bring home plenty
Told my dogs that I’m never gonna envy
Gotta grind slow, pace my steps
Pray God save me from all them debts
Loyalty mean I’m cashin’ respect
Not chains or checks, just peace in my chest
I see pain in the mirror, no lie
But the tears mean I’m still alive
Still breathin’ means I still try
And I’m here for you ‘til the day I die
Barfly: “Voice in the street, never back down”
Toi: “Heart on my sleeve, I’m here now”
Barfly: “Playin’ this game with blood on the ground”
Toi: “We gon’ rise up, turn life around”(yeah… hey… listen)
