Street Prayers

Roaches crawl across the floor

I been here before

Counting blessings, counting scars

Chasing what I can't ignore

These corners hold my secrets tight

Whispers echo through the night

I feel confined, still I grind and cross the line

Dreams fade under city smoke

Every truths another joke

Still I stand up to the sky

Pray I live before I die

Cold nights, street fights

Chasing what feels right

Money talks and walks

Praying through the dark night

Hunger deep inside my chest, can't afford to take a rest

This life a game I play for keeps, even when my heart weeps

Pistol steady by my side, loyaltys been crucified

Fake friends plotting, smiling wide

Can't let my weakness ever slide

Every move s a step through fire

Lessons burn but lift me higher

Torn between the wrong, the right, still I battle through the night

Mama prays I find my peace before my demons find release

I'm tryna breathe but can't let go, it's the only thing I know

Cold nights, street fights

Chasing what feels right

Money talks and walks

Praying through the dark night

Hunger deep inside my chest, can't afford to take a rest

This life a game I play for keeps, even when my heart weeps

Faces change when the money come

Loyalty sold for a sum

Trust is rare like common pain

Fake love runs through the vein

Hoping God still hears my cry

In the silence, we re alive

All my dreams built out of fear

Every choice costs me dear

Still I fight to find my name

Burning candles in the rain

Cold nights, street fights

Chasing what feels right

Money talks and walks

Praying through the dark night

Hunger deep inside my chest, can't afford to take a rest

This life a game I play for keeps, even when my heart weeps

Rain drips off the window pane, moving through this endless pain

See reflections of who I was

Lost myself, a petty buzz

Dreams of peace just feel too far

Life defined by battle scars

Darkness speaks, I can't resist

Hope fades deep beneath the mist

Tryna stand when I should fall

Heard the streets still got my call

But someday these chains will break

Freedom born in my wake

Shadows fade but still I glow

Broken wings and scars I show

Every loss and every sin

Built the fire that burns within

Maybe one day I'll find my light

Through the pain, I win this fight

Till that moment, I remain

Chasing peace inside the rain
