Verse 1: Grew up in the city, life wasn't pretty, Hustling on corners, my crew and fifty, Cold nights, bright lights, dreams of the dough, Rivals shooting shots, evading five-oh. Hunger in my belly, ambition in my veins, Concrete jungle, feeling the chains, Momma tried to warn me, said there's more out there, But all I ever knew was this life of despair. Chorus: Lost in these streets, heavy burdens I wear, Every night I lay down, whispering a prayer, "Lord, if the streets take me 'fore the dawn's break, Keep my soul, for these mistakes I did make." Verse 2: Seen my brothers fall, seen them rise again, Loyalty's the code, till the very end, Gangsta's paradise, where we write the rules, Cash, power, respect; that's the hustle's tools. Dealing with the deals, trying not to get caught, Chasing paper, evading the thoughts, Of a life lost, or a soul sold, But in the game's grip, man, it's a hard hold. Chorus: Lost in these streets, dreams turning to nightmares, Eyes to the sky, hoping someone up there cares, "Lord, if this night's the last I partake, Guide my spirit, my soul please take." Bridge: Tales of the hood, not just sorrow and pain, Moments of joy, love, and gain, But the shadows lurk, the danger's real, Every hustler knows, that cold steel feel. Verse 3: Diamonds and gold, symbols of the grind, Every step I take, legacy I leave behind, Trust's a luxury, betrayal's cheap, In the world of the wolves, gotta play for keeps. But in quiet moments, I reflect on the cost, All the lives lost, all the souls tossed, To the wind, but I hope for redemption, A street hustler's confession, no pretension. Chorus: Lost in the hustle, surrounded by warfare, Eyes closed tight, as I say my street prayer, "Lord, when the sirens sing, and the lights fade, Remember my heart, not just the path I played." Outro: In this urban saga, dreams and despair, All I ask Lord, is that you hear my prayer, From these asphalt veins, to the throne up high, Hear the cries of a gangsta, as I touch the sky.
