street story

Lyrics

]
Yeah…
No fairy tales, just what it is…
Listen close
Verse 1
I seen nights turn cold, lights flicker in the rain,
Same block, different faces but the struggle stay the same,
Young minds get molded where the hope feel faded,
Dreams get traded for a pocket full of payments.
Mama stress prayin’ I don’t end up in a cell,
But the streets talk loud, they be ringing like a bell,
Had a couple close ones turn ghosts real quick,
Now I don’t trust smiles, I just read the shift.
Every corner got a story that don’t make the news,
Every loss got a name that we still can’t lose,
I was tryna find peace in a war zone mind,
But the hunger in the belly make you cross that line.
Hook
This a true story, no cap, no script, no fiction,
Where I’m from you adapt or you stuck in position,
Seen love turn cold, seen loyalty switch,
Gotta walk real slow when the vibe feel twisted.
This a true story, carved in the pavement,
Every scar got a voice, every silence got statements,
If you know then you know what I’m talkin’ about,
Where dreams get buried but we still make it out.
Verse 2
Late nights in the whip just thinkin’ ‘bout change,
Same route every day but the mind feel strange,
Couple homies switched up, I don’t say names,
But the energy shift ain’t the same in the game.
Seen money turn brothers into enemies quick,
Seen pride make a man lose everything he get,
I was tryna stay focused, keep my head in the vision,
But the streets keep pullin’ like a bad decision.
Now I move more quiet, I observe more deep,
Less talk, more action, I don’t lose no sleep,
If it’s real then it’s real, if it’s fake then it fold,
That’s the code I was taught when the winters was cold.
Hook
This a true story, no cap, no script, no fiction,
Where I’m from you adapt or you stuck in position,
Seen love turn cold, seen loyalty switch,
Gotta walk real slow when the vibe feel twisted.
This a true story, carved in the pavement,
Every scar got a voice, every silence got statements,
If you know then you know what I’m talkin’ about,
Where dreams get buried but we still make it out.
Outro
Yeah…
Ain’t nothin’ made up here
Just survival… and what it turned me into
