Late night ride, I can feel it in the air
Cold eyes on me,
so I move like I care
Posted on the block where the sirens stay near Had to keep
it solid, never living off fear Smoke in my chest,
trying hard to stay numb
Every bad choice got a price when it come Friends turn strange
when the money get close Pain in a cup,
and it burn down slow I seen too much just to talk
like a saint Now my mama pray harder every time that I
ain't In the streets,
I keep my guard up high Too much smoke,
too many wrongs go by
If it's war, then they know how we slide Numb all night
just to bury what's inside In the streets,
I keep my guard up high Too much smoke,
too many wrongs go
by
Another blue light paint the curb by the store
Young hearts fade when they keep score for score I was chasing
fast money, losing sleep for the fix Clouded mind,
bad habits, too deep in the mix Every corner got a tale
that it carry in scars Every night feel long when you aiming
at stars I want a way out but the road stay thin
So I talk to God low when the doubt sink in Tell
me if the morning still got room for me I been knee-deep
in what I couldn't leave (ah) trying to wash these stains clean
In the streets, I keep my guard up high
Too much smoke, too many wrongs go by
If it's war, then they know how we slide Numb all night
just to bury what's inside
In the streets, I keep my guard up high
Too much smoke, too many wrongs go by Still praying for a
day
I can break this wheel
Still hoping all this hurt turn into something real (oh)
