We were strolling through the block, just a crew on the rise,

We were strolling through the block, just a crew on the rise, Laughing loud, cracking jokes, under faded street lights, But the vibe turned sinister, shadows creeping in tight, Sudden shots rang out, shattered dreams in the night. Heart racing, adrenaline pumping, time froze, Hit the ground, instincts kicking, nobody knows, Glimpse of the chaos, like a scene from a flick, Life's a twisted script, man, it’s brutal and sick. We were brothers in arms, now the silence is thick, Life's a gamble, rolling dice, fate’s a fickle trick, Echoes of the past, memories flash like a spark, But the laughter’s replaced by the fear in the dark. I’m haunted by the faces, their smiles in my mind, Now they’re ghosts in the alley, left the world behind, Every corner holds a story, a tale of the lost, In this concrete jungle, man, you pay the cost.
