[Verse]
Block symphony, shadows in the night, they move different
Dudes in hoodies, slinging rocks and cooking in the kitchen
Whispers in alleys, deals done in cold blood
Revving engines, now dripping oil mixed with mud
[Verse 2]
Corner boys, eyes wild, fiends on the prowl
Grip the iron, streets singing, survival's foul
Dollar dreams, stacking bricks of sin
Heartbeat racing, dirty money flowin' in
[Chorus]
Echoes of the hustle, lives hanging by a thread
Every step's a gamble, betting on the dead
Glocks spitting fire, neighborhood choir
Drugs, money, murder, streets keep getting higher
[Verse 3]
Needles prick the veins, slow dance with the grim
Faces gaunt, eyes hollow, life's looking dim
Corpse paint, dealers painting pictures of despair
Pistol's bark silences prayers, nobody cares
[Bridge]
Concrete jungle, predators on the hunt
Survival's an illusion, endgame's a confrontation
Pawns in the traffic, playing life’s roulette
Death's a dealer's ace, never forget
[Chorus]
Echoes of the hustle, lives hanging by a thread
Every step's a gamble, betting on the dead
Glocks spitting fire, neighborhood choir
Drugs, money, murder, streets keep getting higher
