in my head

Late nights on the corner, shadows creeping close, Me and my brother plotting, we the ones who boast, Heart cold, but the fire burning deep inside, Lost a few to the streets, now we living with pride. Dark thoughts in my mind, but we rise from the pain, Every struggle we faced, only fueled the flame, Hustle hard, stack the paper, never trust a soul, In a world so cold, we just play our role. Enemies lurking, but we keep our circle tight, Eyes wide open, ready for the fight, Dreams of better days, but the nights stay bleak, On this block with my brother, it’s the life that we seek. Whispers in the alley, secrets in the air, Loyalty’s a treasure, hard to find out there, From the dirt to the stars, we gon’ break the mold, Side by side forever, that bond never folds.
