Had to move smart, kept my business on the low,

Had to move smart, kept my business on the low, In the shadows, where the real ones tend to grow, Eyes in the back, always watchin' for the foes, Heart cold, but my hustle stayin' hot like a stove. Countin' every penny, ain't no room for the slack, Trust is a luxury, ain't no takin' it back, Street lights flicker, but my vision stay intact, Came from the bottom, now I'm climbin' up the racks. Dark nights, but my mind is like a beacon, Rollin' with the wolves, while the sheep stay sleepin', Got a plan in motion, while they busy keepin' secrets, Never show my hand, I just play it how I mean it. Life's a game of chess, and I’m movin' with finesse, Heavy on the grind, ain't no time for second guess, In this concrete jungle, gotta fight for every breath, Survivor in the struggle, I embrace it 'til the death. (Verse) West side livin', where the shadows creep, Enemies lurkin', while the city sleeps, Struggles in my heart, faith lost in the grind, Family turned ghosts, left me lost in my mind. Gangs on the corner, we were tight like glue, But friends turned foes, man, they switched like the crew, Day one tried to kill me, thought we had a bond, But when the chips fell, they were gone, now I’m drawn. Pain in my chest, like a bullet it stings, Countin' all my losses, what this life really brings, Gun play and chaos, it's the life that we chose, Grimy in the streets, where the real never froze. Trust is a gamble, and I’m all in the game, Every move I make, yeah, I’m chasin' the fame, But deep down I know, it's the pain that I wear, In this life of a gangster, ain't nobody play fair.
