Lyrics

[Verse]
Cold nights no heat no light
Hunger creeps like a thief in the night
Street whispers got secrets to tell
Every corner a story from heaven to hell

Brick walls stained with pain and pride
I learned young how to swallow my pride
Dreams don’t grow where the concrete cracks
So I took what I could no turning back

[Chorus]
Gotta take it to make it
Ain't no waiting when the streets stay faking
Survive or die ain't no debating
Hustle shadows where the light ain’t breaking

[Verse 2]
Mama cried when the fridge stayed bare
I hit the block just to prove I care
Sneakers scuffed from the chase last night
I run fast but I can't outrun the fight

Pockets light but the risk feels heavy
Steel in my hand keep my grip steady
Ain't no love where the money’s the law
I see the world through a crack in the door

[Prechorus]
Hands dirty pockets clean
What’s the cost of a broken dream
