Lyrics: Herbert Gillette
Music: Herbert Gillette
Graffiti lines the walls, stories untold
Of lives lived fast, young hearts grown cold
With a pocket full of dreams and a mind full of schemes
Navigating the night, foreboding as it seems
Ghosts in the windows, memories passed
In every cracked sidewalk, shadows are cast
With a toast to the fallen, we keep pushing on
In this concrete jungle, from dusk 'til dawn
Rolling with my crew, we ain't got no fear
Homies by my side, we know the end is near
Every night a new chapter in this dark saga
Every move has stakes, from Manhattan to Harlem
Underneath the streetlights, shadows come alive
Whispers in the alleys, hustlers strive to thrive
Packin' heat, ready for the night's game
Fear in the air, every move the same
Runnin' through the projects, money on my mind
Rollin' with the crew, always one of a kind
We make the rules, livin' life on edge
In this concrete jungle, pledges we hedge
Crack vials crack under worn-out soles
Livin' for the moment with unapologetic goals
Feelin' the tension as danger lurks
Every shivery breath, adrenaline perks
Night falls, streetlights flicker, the hunt begins
Sires in the distance, adrenaline within
Dealers on the grind, pushing that weight
Every transaction, a twist of fate
Makin' moves in the dark, no room for mistakes
One wrong turn, and your life it takes
Survival of the fittest, it's a deadly game
Where respect means everything, and so does your name
City streets humming, lights blur the nights
Hustlers on corners, flashing their might
Cash rules everything, gripping my Glock
Running through the avenues, nights on the block
Danger round every corner, no time to play
Keep your eyes wide open, watch what you say
Money, power, respect, they all intertwine
In the shadows of the city, we cross the line
In a world where sin and vice collide
Gotta keep my circle close, no room to hide
Blunt smoke clouds the air, neon sins ignite
Streets are like a jungle, every day a fight
Police sirens wailing, we're dancing with the law
Enemies plotting, always ready to draw
Loyalty's the currency, betrayal got a price
One wrong move can cost your whole life
Rolling dice with destiny, gambling fate
Temptations tempt, but real recognize real
Nights turn into mornings, endless replay
In this ruthless game of life, we all gotta deal
Survival built on grind, every hustler knows
With each dawn that breaks, new battles expose
Keeping it raw, in this unpolished stone
This city breeds soldiers made of flesh and bone
Thick smoke clouds the skyline, dreams buried deep
But we push forth, patrolling streets we keep
Glock steady at the waist, heartbeats steady race
You play for keeps, no time to chase
Look out for the snakes disguised as friends
In the shadows, we find out in strange bends
Flashin' lights, hidden pursuits, deals on the run
Taking on anyone who stands in this jurisdiction
