Money was riskier
trapping all day all night
packing all night into the day
high as could be
cops chased
prayed to get away
people robbing us
as the guns go off
over dose is a daily cost
Dark nights,
out,
chasing paper,
On devil's route,
Flipping packs,
heart attacks,
praying to make it out.
Cops in the rearview,
lights spinning
game of Russia roulette,
Every turn a gamble,
every breath
another threat.
Hunger in the shadows,
young wolfs out to snatch the pack
to become the new leader
is a young wolfs dream
Metal clapping. in the alleys,
Street Fighters
dreams wrapped in a flag.
Overdose on every corner,
bodies lying cold
on concrete corners
the cost of chasing gold,
kingdom made
of broken bones
Risky business,
shadows whisper,
clock ticks away
street life’s
not a game
Streets dont play
Life’s sure a gamble
running the streets with the crew
Hands on the wheel,
prayers in the air
,
Money comes dirty,
still don’t care.
Sirens sing a lullaby,
streets never compromise,
high, chasing highs
,
dodging lows,
alibis not trusted with lies
B***d on the pavement,
scars on our souls
Every risk taken
pays the toll.
Eyes wide
, never blink,
sleep's a foreign land,
Grit and grime,
dollar signs
, cash slips through the hand.
Pretend Friends knocking on the door,
shadows creeping through the cracks,
Heart heavy
, soul torn,
still doubling the stacks.
Risky business
, shadows whisper,
clock ticks
life’s a gamble
running out of time
Hands on the wheel,
prayers in the air,
Money comes dirty,
Still don’t care.
Trappin’ in the shadows,
the packs exchange hands,
High as satellites,
Packs grains in the sand.
Sirens scream,
go on the run
hope to see another dawn,
Prayers in the wind,
the devil’s never gone.
Hood full of wolves,
every glance a threat,
Eyes on the product
, sweat drippin’ like a bet
.
Shots ring out,
echo through the cold night
,
Overdose the reaper
, takin’ lives outta sight.
Risky business,
living fast on the edge,
Cops on the chase
life hanging by a thread
Daily cost of the hustle
paid in pain no fear
higher than high
keep on running
the end always near
Deals in the alley
shadows dance with the moon
Dreams buried deep
in the pockets of a goon
Gunpowder perfume
a fragrance well known
Death around the corner
still stacking the dough
Fingers itch for the trigger,
life’s a game of dice,
gambling dusk to dawn
Loyalty a gamble,
snakes blend in nice.
Friends turn to foes,
trust is fading day by day
Living for survival
lucky to make it to tomorrow
Streetlights flicker
hope in the haze
Each day’s a new chapter
in a never ending maze
Dodgin’ ghosts of the past
haunted by regret
Risky business
ain’t done yet unless….
