numb to da violence

(Verse 1) Yeah, I grew up where the sirens sing, Concrete jungle, where the pain wears a crown, Every corner got a story, every block got a king, But we numb to the echoes ‘cause it feel like a sound. Heartbeats syncing to the gunshots, Memories in the alleys where the love gets lost, Ghosts in the pavement, hear the cries of the fam, But we hustle for the dreams, still we carry the cost. (Chorus) Numb to the violence, desensitized, Survival of the fittest, where the innocence dies. Oblivion in the shadows, we just let it slide, In a world full of chaos, lookin’ for a light. (Verse 2) I seen the faces fade, like vapor in the night, Fury fuels the fire, but it don't feel right, Mama said, "Stay strong, boy, keep your head high," But the weight of the world got my spirit tied. Juxtapose the beauty with the blood-soaked streets, Every heartbeat a battle, every soldier discreet, And the lessons don’t come easy when the world cold, So we numb to the violence, wearin’ scars like gold. (Chorus) Numb to the violence, desensitized, Survival of the fittest, where the innocence dies. Oblivion in the shadows, we just let it slide, In a world full of chaos, lookin’ for a light. (Bridge) Tears fall harder than the bullets that fly, In the silence, we listen while the hope waves goodbye, But I rise with the sun, got a vision in my soul, 'Cause the fight ain't done, gotta save what we stole. (Outro) Yeah, we numb but we feel, it's a cycle we break, In the land of the lost, still we carry our fate. So I pen these words, let ‘em breathe, let ‘em heal, A symphony of struggle, in the darkness we reveal. Numb to the violence, but the heart still beats, Searching for redemption in these cold, cruel streets.
