Lost Innocence
(Verse 1) Young king in the making, ten years in the game, Playin' in the streets, but it's never the same, Chasin' dreams with my crew, we was wild and untamed, But the darkness creeps in, puttin' hope in a frame. Ball in my hand, see the world through a smile, But the heavy weight of pain – it’s been there for a while, Mama's working late, daddy's out on the grind, Tryna shield my eyes from the madness that blinds. (Chorus) Oh, little homie, where’d the love go? Caught in a cycle, hear the sirens flow, Lost innocence, where did the joy run? Heart of a child, but they treat me like a gun. (Verse 2) One night on the block, just a game of pretend, We threw rocks at the stars, not knowin' how it ends, But the flash of a shot echoed close 'round the bend, Hit the ground hard, ain't ready to descend. Blood on my shirt, feel the warmth turn cold, Mama’s screams in the night, man, it breaks my soul, While the streetlights flicker, my dreams fall apart, A victim in the system it tears me apart. (Chorus) Oh, little homie, where’d the love go? Caught in a cycle, hear the sirens' low flow, Lost innocence, where did the joy run? Heart of a child, but they treat me like a gun. (Bridge) Was I just a pawn in their violent little game? a statistic in their books, just another name, Ten years old, but my spirit gon' rise, I’ll shine through the struggle, see the light in my eyes. (Outro) So here’s to the children, caught in a storm, May our stories be told, let our voice transform, Hold on tight, young souls, tonight we gon' fight, For the lost innocence, we claimin' the night.
