Street Chronicles

[Verse] City through the lens of a survivor, jagged edges Cops drive by, still they actin' like hedges Criminal minds sharper than ninja blades Hustlin' daily, while handlin' grenades [Verse 2] In the jungle, concrete lions and tigers Real life Monopoly, just without the vipers Chasin' cheddar, moonwalk with the felons Wordsmith weapons, lyrics felled from my melon [Chorus] Street life livin', shadows and ghosts Smokin' on the rooftops, beat never close Pass the mic to the homie, story unfolds Streets on fire, man, truth never sold [Verse 3] Chain clankin', swagger of a runaway train Turf wars rage, from the block to the main Voices of the youth, risen from the rubble Beneath broken dreams, still trouble bubbles [Bridge] Nighttime whispers, echoes off the alley Gang signs flyin', they rally in the valley Eyes peeled wide, squint through the chaos Tales of demise, fake smiles they pay us [Chorus] Street life livin', shadows and ghosts Smokin' on the rooftops, beat never close Pass the mic to the homie, story unfolds Streets on fire, man, truth never sold
