{vinyl crackle and dusty Rhodes keys chord loop} {heavy vinyl scratch} (yeah)
(listen close)
In the streets where we learn corruption Deceit right under your feet
so we walk blind Never knowing who we'll meet in these heavy
streets {dusty
snare snap, melodic
boom bap groove} We were only seventeen chasing big bright ideas Meeting
characters in alleys masking all of their fears They offer shortcuts to
the top of the tower Trading your integrity for a moment of
power But the cost is heavy and the debt gets deep Hard
to hold your head up high when you can barely sleep (think
about it) {laid back dusty drums,
dark bassline} In the streets where we learn corruption Deceit right under
your feet so we walk blind Never knowing who we'll meet in
these heavy streets {soulful background vocal layer,
heavy snare accent} Fast money in the palm of a hand that
you shouldn't trust Turned our childhood dreams directly into ash and dust
Every smiling face has a motive behind the grin Hard to separate
the savior from the original sin Now we're watching our backs in
the middle of the day Reevaluating every single word that they say
(watch your step)
{panning rhodes, steady kick
and snare} {drums drop out,
only electric piano and dusty vinyl crackle remain} Watch the company you
keep (yeah) In these heavy streets {final
chord fades out}
