Living on the streets, feeling the heat Shot up on the block, can't escape defeat Every day's a struggle, trying to make ends meet No place to call home, just concrete beneath my feet (Chorus) Can't escape the pain, can't escape the shame Just trying to survive, searching for a way to change Living on the streets, feeling so estranged Shot up on the block, can't escape this dangerous game (Verse 2) Every night I pray, hoping for a better day But the darkness surrounds me, won't go away Lost in the chaos, feeling so betrayed Shot up on the block, can't escape this deadly trade (Chorus) Can't escape the pain, can't escape the shame Just trying to survive, searching for a way to change Living on the streets, feeling so estranged Shot up on the block, can't escape this dangerous game (Bridge) I'm trapped in this cycle, can't break free Feeling like a prisoner, can't see what's meant to be But deep down inside, I know I hold the key To escape this madness, to finally be free (Chorus) Can't escape the pain, can't escape the shame Just trying to survive, searching for a way to change Living on the streets, feeling so estranged Shot up on the block, can't escape this dangerous game (Outro) Living on the streets, but I won't be defeated I'll rise above the struggles, won't be mistreated Shot up on the block, but I'll find my way I won't let this life of hardship lead me astray
