Oscar Auliq-ice Streets Of Struggle
(Verse 1)
In these concrete jungles, where the streetlights dim,
Life's a hustle, gotta push to win.
Stackin' paper, dodgin' the feds,
Hearing whispers, always watchin' my head.
Got homies in the pen, others in the dirt,
Every day's a fight, proving what you're worth.
Seen pain, seen rain, felt the heat of the flame,
In this gangsta game, ain't nothin' ever the same.
(Chorus)
Laid on the asphalt, praying for a sign,
"If I don't wake, Lord, please make this grind mine.
In this life of strife, if my time is up,
Hold my soul tight, in your golden cup."
(Verse 2)
Enemies lurkin', always on the prowl,
But I'm king of my block, ain't no backin' down.
Life's dicey, but the stakes are high,
Either roll a six or watch your dreams die.
Hood tales, scars, and a life of crime,
Yet I dream of the day I'll be outta this grime.
But for now, I rep my set, do my thing,
In the heart of the city, where the sirens sing.
(Bridge)
Mama said, "Son, get out while you can,"
But the streets raised me, made me a man.
Lost too many brothers, seen too much gore,
Yet every night, I still hope for more.
(Chorus)
Laid on the asphalt, praying for a sign,
"If I don't wake, Lord, please make this grind mine.
In this life of strife, if my time is up,
Hold my soul tight, in your golden cup."
(Verse 3)
Been betrayed, played, felt the blade,
But in the darkest shade, my resolve never swayed.
Grew up fast, trust is a luxury,
In this world of blast, it's all about trust in me.
Diamond chains, fast cars, living large,
Behind the bars, though, are stories and scars.
But I'll rise, one day, leave this all behind,
Till then, to the grind, I'm forever aligned.
(Chorus)
Laid on the asphalt, praying for a sign,
"If I don't wake, Lord, please make this grind mine.
In this life of strife, if my time is up,
Hold my soul tight, in your golden cup."
(Outro)
So when my story ends, and the curtains drop,
Know I fought my fight, climbed to the top.
Gangsta till the end, but dreams in my scope,
In the heart of the city, I found my hope.
