Gang tensions

(Verse 1) In the shadows where the streetlights flicker, Two gangs clash, man, the tension gets thicker, Corner store hustle, we grind for the paper, Respect on the block, yeah, that’s the caper. Colors fly high, but the truth’s in the dust, Brotherhood torn, now it’s hard to trust, East side, West side, we all feel the heat, But we’re just kids trying to make ends meet. (Verse 2) Echoes of the past, hear the sirens wail, Dreams of a future, but we’re stuck in jail, Life’s a game of chess, and we’re pawns on the board, Fighting for our lives while the streets keep score. Eyes on the prize, but the cost is steep, Lost too many homies, now it’s hard to sleep, Two gangs, one street, we’re bound by the pain, In this concrete jungle, it’s hard to remain.
