Streets be cold every night we fight
Gotta hustle hard
Keep the grip tight
Friends turn foes
It's a daily game
Trust no one
It's the same old flame
Dark alleys
Shadows creep and glide
Gotta stay sharp
Never run or hide
Life's a gamble
Gotta roll the dice
Cold answers
No place for nice
Life on the block
It's a hard-knock life
Struggle every day
Surviving in the strife
Gotta keep pushing
Never gonna stop
Facing all the trials
Rising to the top
Broken dreams
Shattered hopes we mend
Lost some good ones
Lost some friends
Money talks in these parts we walk
Silent screams
But nobody talks
Hear the sirens
See the flashing lights
In the darkness
Must withstand the nights
Echoes of shots
In the nightly loom
Life and death
It's a crowded room
Cold winds blow
Whispering tales
Around the corner
Danger prevails
Hold your ground
Stand up tall
Even in the fear
Never fall
