thick of it

(Verse 1) In the thick of it, where the shadows play, Grew up in the struggle, but I found my way, Streets whisper secrets, they don’t fade away, Got my heart in the hustle, every night, every day. Dreams of a better life, but the pain’s so real, Lost too many homies, can’t forget how they feel, Pour a little liquor, let the memories heal, Life’s a heavy burden, but I’m ready to deal. (Verse 2) Chillin’ in the corner, where the truth unfolds, Got my mind on my dreams, and my heart made of gold, A soldier in this game, never do what I’m told, In the thick of it, still I rise, uncontrolled. Painted on the walls, stories of the past, Every lesson learned, man, I’m built to last, Keep my circle tight, ‘cause the fakes move fast, In the thick of it, I’ll be free at last.
