On the Block

Steel in the hoodie, cold winds in the alley,

Stacks in the duffle, dreams in the valley.

Grime on my kicks, bloodstains on my psyche,

Moonlight sharp, shadows dance so spiky.

On the block, where the wolves stay prowlin',

Echoes of the sirens, city always growlin'.

Heartbeats poundin', danger steady callin',

Never lookin' back, keep the hustle ballin'.

Nightmares of the struggle, fists in the fight,

Chains round my neck, but I’m chasin’ the light.

Concrete jungle, lions in the mist,

Fingers on the trigger, hope in the clenched fist.

Hear the grind, it’s the anthem of survival,

Life on the edge, every day’s a revival.

Enemies lurkin', snakes in the tall grass,

But I keep my vision sharp, future through the cracked glass.

Hustle so heavy, my soul's bench-pressin’,

Every L’s a lesson, no time for second-guessin’.

Dreams bulletproof, can't pierce my ambition,

Street code tattooed, life’s my admission.

On the block, where the wolves stay prowlin',

Echoes of the sirens, city always growlin'.

Heartbeats poundin', danger steady callin',

Never lookin' back, keep the hustle ballin'.
