streets and struggling against the system.

*Verse 1:* I'm standin' in the rain, gutter punk, no home Ain't no shelter from the storm, just a cardboard dome I'm scrappin' for a buck, tryna stay alive But the system's broke, and it's hard to thrive *Verse 2:* I'm a product of the streets, where the strong survive Got my guard up, 'cause nobody's gonna thrive I'm tryna make a way, but it's hard to grind When you're stuck in the system, and you can't get in line *Verse 3:* I'm tryna stay real, in a world that's fake Where the streets are deadly, and the system's at stake I'm just tryna make a way, tryna stay alive But it's hard to keep my hopes up, when the system's tryin' to thrive *Verse 4:* I'm on the streets, tryna survive the night Ain't no shelter, just the darkness of the light I'm tryna find a way, tryna make a move But the system's against me, and it's hard to improve *Verse 5:* I'm tryna stay tough, tryna stay strong But the system's tryin' to break me, all day long I'm just tryna make a way, tryna stay alive But it's hard to keep my head up, when the system's tryin' to thrive This version is straight-up rap, with no singing. The lyrics are raw and gritty, with a focus on the harsh realities of living on the streets and struggling against the system.
