Street Lament

[Verse] Born in the darkness, shadows where I roam, Dreams turned to dust, can't call nowhere home, Chains round my wrists, burdens heavy, stone, Fight the odds daily, life's a broken throne. [Verse 2] Fell through the cracks, system left me stranded, Hustle through the pain, every move demanded, Enemy of fate, none of this was handed, Every scar's a story, plans all disbanded. [Chorus] Concrete jungle, heart of cold steel, Life's betrayals, can't escape the feel, Echoes in the alleys, hustle for the meal, Anger's my armor, reality surreal. [Verse 3] Guitar strings weep, piano cries in tune, Life’s an endless night, no break of afternoon, Pushed to the edge, wolves howlin' at the moon, Hunger for survival, death looms soon. [Bridge] Grew up quick, innocence decay, Lost in the struggle, price I gotta pay, Brothers in the trenches, fighting every day, Trust is a gamble, hearts betray. [Chorus] Concrete jungle, heart of cold steel, Life's betrayals, can't escape the feel, Echoes in the alleys, hustle for the meal, Anger's my armor, reality surreal.
