(Verse 1)
Tell me what you want to see, want you wanted to be
Young and reckless, thought you could break free
From the grip of the streets, the concrete jungle's hold
Chasing paper, stories yet untold
Smoke in the heat, the drama and grief
Karma creeping, a thief in the night, no relief
Back block creeping, whispers in the dark
For a headshot, leaving a permanent mark
Saw it happen, eyes wide with fear
Another life lost, another tear
(Chorus)
Broken dreams, shattered like glass
Reflections of the past, moving too fast
Chasing shadows, lost in the game
Now I'm just whispering a fallen name
Street dreams, a heavy price to pay
Wishing I could turn back time, just for a day
(Verse 2)
Remember Rico, thought he was so tough?
Now he's just a memory, that ain't enough
Tried to warn him, but he wouldn't listen
Caught in the crossfire, a deadly collision
The streets don't love you, they just use you up
Spit you out broken, fillin' your empty cup
With regret and pain, a bitter taste
Another young life wasted, another life erased
I see the youngstas, eyes full of fire
Same hunger, same desire, climbing higher
(Chorus)
Broken dreams, shattered like glass
Reflections of the past, moving too fast
Chasing shadows, lost in the game
Now I'm just whispering a fallen name
Street dreams, a heavy price to pay
Wishing I could turn back time, just for a day
(Bridge)
I made it out, barely alive
Scarred and broken, but I survived
Now I'm telling my story, a warning sign
Hope it reaches someone, before they cross the line
(Chorus)
Broken dreams, shattered like glass
Reflections of the past, moving too fast
Chasing shadows, lost in the game
Now I'm just whispering a fallen name
Street dreams, a heavy price to pay
Wishing I could turn back time, just for a day
(Outro)
Broken dreams... they ain't what they seem
A life of pain, a broken dream.
