Streetlight Scars

Yo, scratch that surface, get it Yo, scratch that surface Shadows creep on crack, concrete dreams Hustle in my veins, no time for schemes Pockets empty, hard heavy with the weight Dodging raindrops, mixed with time for schemes Pockets empty, hard heavy with the weight Dodging raindrops, mixed with fakes, cruel bait Mama's prayers, echo through the night Streetlights flicker, got it wrong from right Fist clenched tight, scars tell my tale Rise from the dirt, never gonna fail Echoes of laughter, lost in the wind Brothers falling, but I still begin Chasing horizons where the pain don't sting Every step of battle, every breath I sing Break the wall, break the wall Break through the chains, feel the fire ignite From the bottom we climb, into the fight No surrender, no retreat in sight This is our rhythm, on in the night Memories haunt like bills too young Whispers apart and we climb No surrender, no retreat in sight This is our rhythm, on in the night From the bottom we, from the bottom we climb From the bottom we, from the bottom we climb Years carved lines on a face too young Lessons learned, where the weak ones hung Now I stand tall, crown forged in fire Empire built on desire, never tire Reflect on the path, twists and the turns Bridges I burn, but the spirit returns Bridges I burn, but the spirit returns For the lost ones, I carry the torch Through the storm, staying true to the course One last breath, exhale the pain Victory whispers in the pouring rain Yeah, yeah, it's to the stars The streets to the stars Fade out Fade out Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
