Gangster Crack

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the shadows where the streetlights flicker,
Hustlin' hard, yeah, the game just got thicker,
Cold nights, no heat, but I gotta eat,
Stackin' paper, dodging cops in the concrete,
Whispers in the alleys, hear the sirens wail,
Every deal's a gamble, every step could fail,
Friends turn foes, when the money’s on the line,
Trust is fleeting, but I’m just tryna dine.

Chorus
I’m out here grindin’, got no fear in my veins,
Chasin’ dreams with these keys, ‘cause survival’s the game,
In the darkness, we rise, yeah, we play for keeps,
Ain't no fairy tale, just the life of the streets.

Verse 2
Flippin' grain, watch it change like a quicksilver,
Countin' stacks under stars, I’m a night-time dealer,
Hope is scarce but the hustle’s in my blood,
A product of the struggle, rising from the mud,
Eyes on the prize, while the world looks away,
Every corner I turn, it’s just a price to pay,
Family to feed, gotta carry this weight,
In a world so cold, can’t afford to wait.

Chorus
I’m out here grindin’, got no fear in my veins,
Chasin’ dreams with these keys, ‘cause survival’s the game,
In the darkness, we rise, yeah, we play for keeps,
Ain't no fairy tale, just the life of the streets.

Bridge
But I dream of the day when I can break these chains,
Find a way out, leave behind all the pain,
Turn the page, start anew, find a better route,
Till then, I’m hustlin’, no fear of a drought.

Outro
So I walk this line, a soldier in the night,
With my head held high, ready for the fight,
For every soul lost, I’m here to thrive,
In this life of survival, yeah, I’m staying alive.
