Street Code Rising

Yeah

Straight out the concrete,

you know?

Born in the shadow where the cold wind blows Nobody helped us,

that's just how it goes

We found a way to rise up from the dirt

Wear our scars like armor,

hide the hurt

They called it thug life,

but we called it survival Standing on the corner,

reading from the bible

Against all odds, we're making it out

That's what this struggle is all about

(all about,

yeah)

We built a kingdom out of broken bricks

Learned all the rules,

avoided all the tricks No silver spoons,

just a heavy drive Doing what we had to do to stay

alive

They called it thug life,

but we called it survival Standing on the corner,

reading from the bible

Against all odds, we're making it out

That's what this struggle is all about (yeah,

all about)

Yeah,

survival.

Nothing but love for the struggle.

We still here. (hmmmm)
