hood cycles

eah, pacing through the trenches, shadows on the wall Every time I take a step, I'm bracing for the fall Echoes in the alleyway, demons trying to call Back against the brick, man, I gotta risk it all Looking in the rear-view, paranoia creeping City never shuts its eyes, half the block is sleeping Other half is plotting, secrets that they keeping Got a heavy conscience but the grim reaper's sweeping Trust is just a luxury we couldn't ever buy Look into my brother's face, I see it in his eye We was raised in cold blood, taught to never cry Chasing after paper, watching all the years go by ​(Chorus) Left foot right foot step in from behind Mama always told me you got murder on your mind Gotta keep a glocky by your side Where I come from you get rich or die trying ​(Verse 2) Footsteps on the pavement, heavy like the rain Running from the struggle, trying to numb the pain Mama on the porch praying that I'd break the chain But the streets got a magnet pulling at my brain Metal in the waistband, cold against the skin In this game of survival, tell me who's gonna win? Walking on a tightrope, patience getting thin Tryna find the righteous path but surrounded by the sin I just want the diamonds, I just want the vault If I don't make it out, I know it's my own fault⁰,½‘¢q⅝q Every day's a gamble, grinding to a halt Turning pain to power, taking it with a grain of salt ​(Chorus) Left foot right foot step in from behind Mama always told me you got murder on your mind Gotta keep a glocky by your side Where I come from you get rich or die trying ​(Outro) Yeah, rich or die trying. Step by step, day by day. Mama, I'm just trying to survive. Left, right, left, right... We out.
