Cold Streets, Warm Hearts

Knuckles raw blood on the pavement Money chased, but soul whole lotta enslavement Broke bottles alley cats hissin' Memories of better days they fadin' off missin' Black eyes and bruises thorns in the side Every corner turned find another to confide Papers stackin' but conscience lackin' Barely making it grip loosin' slowly crackin' Black eyes and bruises thorns in the side Every corner turned find another to confide Papers stackin' but conscience lackin' Barely making it grip loosin' slowly crackin' Cold streets grip tight but a smile like sunshine Hustle ain't easy but baby makes it feel fine Crime and grime they try breaking us down But her warmth got me floatin' off the ground Scarred knuckles and the nights always alone Heart heavy from the sins I atone Dark nights ghosts in the shadows One touch from her feels like meadow Runnin' deals and ducking po-po Cash flows but soul so-so Corners of dreams dipped in her perfume Her love rare treasure in the gloom Cold streets grip tight but a smile like sunshine Hustle ain't easy but baby makes it feel fine Crime and grime they try breaking us down But her warmth got me floatin' off the ground Scarred knuckles and the nights always alone Heart heavy from the sins I atone Dark nights ghosts in the shadows One touch from her feels like meadow Runnin' deals and ducking po-po Cash flows but soul so-so Corners of dreams dipped in her perfume Her love rare treasure in the gloom
