Street Life 503

Verse 1: I'm from Portland, the city where the streets are wild Hustling daily, getting tested by the lifestyle Murders, homicides, overdoses, it's the real deal Blue pills killing, fentanyl taking over and it's unreal Life's street corners sold out, Hondo's all locked up Stacking bread and paying bills, by any means, that's what's up Born with a single mom, no food on the table Crack in my diaper, Long Beach California, 1994, crack epidemic, unstable Chorus: Portland street life, it's a daily grind Surviving and thriving, against all odds, I'll shine I'm a product of the streets, I've seen it all But I won't let it break me, I'll stand tall Verse 2: The struggle is real, but I won't fall victim to the game I'll make my own lane, rise above the pain I've seen friends lost to the streets, it's a harsh reality But I won't let their deaths be in vain, I'll live for their memory I'll keep pushing, keep grinding, keep striving for more I won't let the streets define me, I'll rise and soar Chorus: Portland street life, it's a daily grind Surviving and thriving, against all odds, I'll shine I'm a product of the streets, I've seen it all But I won't let it break me, I'll stand tall Outro: I'm from Portland street life, but I won't be confined I'll break free from the chains, and leave it all behind I'll rise above the struggles, and make a better way I won't be just a product of the streets, I'll make my own day
