I'm the beast from the hood, ain't no fairy tale Survival of the fittest, gotta prevail In these streets, gotta watch your back Beauty and the beast, my heart is black Raised in the concrete jungle, where it's kill or be killed Hustling every day, trying to stack that dollar bill I'm a savage, ain't no prince charming But I'll protect my beauty, keep her from harm's alarming My hands are rough, my heart is cold But for her, I'll do whatever I'm told She sees the beauty in me, beneath the scars In this cruel world, she's my shining star We may be from different worlds, but we make it work She's my queen, I'll always put her first
