Story Of The Streets

Pressure in his chest, ice runnin' through his veins Heard his name is in the wind and now it's time to make a pay Ain't no love in the streets, there ain't no room for regret Every move is calculated like a game of roulette He slid low in the whip, mask on, no face, he with a all black fit He movin' quickly outta trace, he ain't lookin' for peace And he ain't searchin' for grace, he's just tryna stay ahead Now he in this deadly race, shots fired, heart cold, no time for remorse Every scar that he earned, yeah, it took him off his corpse But the fire in his soul, it kept him pushin' ahead Even with every step, he felt closer to death He remembered them nights, and when that hunger hit deep But no heat in the crib, bitch, no room for sleep Momma workin' two jobs, she tryna keep him fit While he ran through the block with a price up on his head He been dancin' with the devil, now the fire too close He been runnin' from his past, but he feelin' that ghost Every step that he take, it got him closer to the edge And the voices in his head sayin, go ahead, take a pledge He got dreams up in his mind, but his hands hold the steel Ain't no turnin' back now, what's fake and what's real Late nights full of smoke, with cold eyes and no fear Every friend that he had already disappeared last year But the money kept callin, yeah, the pride too loud Ain't no savin' his soul, and when he deep up in the crowd He just tryna survive, but the survival mean war And that life that he chose, it kept closin' on the door He stay posted on the block, and where the heat don't fade Every promise that he made, it got a price, ane he paid Ain't no trust in this game, it's just a gun and a prayer And the weight his back, they might need to compare He saw his brother go down, and heard his momma break a cry Felt the rage inside his chest, when they told his ass goodbye Now his mind full of vengeance, and his heart so black Ain't no turnin' back, he said, ain't no stayin' back He lost too many friends, he seen too much blood Now his shoes full of mud, his heart stuck up in the flood Every prayer that he spoke, it felt lost in the air Every hope that he had, he turned it into despair So he load that clip, he take a breath and take a ride Ain't no tears up in his eyes, bitch, ain't no fear inside If the reaper come knockin, he gon' let him in Cause the life that he lived, it ain't got no way to win
