These Streets

[Intro]
Ooh, walking these streets alone
Echoes of the past follow me home

[Verse 1]
Found a new place, trying to start anew
Hear the whispers, they don't see the true
Walking under shadows, I’m on my guard
Fighting through the darkness, I’m scarred

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, every move I make
Feels like I've got more at stake
They call me the outsider, the stranger
But I keep moving, I’m a changer

[Chorus]
Feeling these streets getting colder
Ooh, gotta watch over my shoulder
Voices all around, yeah, they surround
In this bad neighborhood, trying to be sound
They don’t know where I came from
Survived the worst, I’ve only just begun
Lone in this fight, I stay strong and true
In the bad neighborhood, making it through

[Verse 2]
Judging my choices, throwing their stones
Fighting to be seen, fighting to own
My story, my life, my scars
Rising above the battles and scars

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, every move I make
Feels like I’ve got more at stake
They call me the outsider, the stranger
But I keep moving, I’m a changer

[Chorus]
Feeling these streets getting colder
Ooh, gotta watch over my shoulder
Voices all around, yeah, they surround
In this bad neighborhood, trying to be sound
They don’t know where I came from
Survived the worst, I’ve only just begun
Lone in this fight, I stay strong and true
In the bad neighborhood, making it through

[Bridge]
Yeah, I’ve had my practice, I’ve seen the worst
Built my armor, quenched my thirst
Trust in myself, that’s my shield
In the shadows, I refuse to yield

[Outro]
Feeling these streets getting colder
Ooh, I’m wiser, I’m bolder
All around town, I’m still standing
In this bad neighborhood, commanding
Voices fade as I walk alone
Found my strength, I’ve grown
From the darkness, I emerge anew
In the bad neighborhood, pushing through
