Faded in the Haze

Intro: Male Vocalist

We was cussin’ and fussin’, tryna get it right

Still holding on, searching for a different light

Trials in the mess, struggles all in our face

All we got left, just tryna find a better place

Verse 1: Male

Mama in the kitchen, daddy out the door

Bills keep rising, they always want more

Desperation on the counter, hope left on the floor

Lost in the shuffle, heart feeling sore

Night after night, dreaming for relief

Made a couple choices, then came the grief

Concrete jungle, heavy on my soul

Chasing freedom, just trying to feel whole

Chorus: Female Vocalist

Back when we rocked, no doubt in those days

Life on the streets, growin’ up in L.A.

Misunderstood, tryna find our own way

Hard times, good times, faded in the haze

Verse 2: Male

Sidewalk stories, where do I begin?

Blocks and corners, learned to battle and win

Hunger in my belly, pain in my grin

Tryna see the sun beyond the world I’m in

I remember glances, the laughs, pretty faces

Dodgin' trouble, runnin’ through forbidden places

Playing tough, actin’ grown, caught up in the chase

Lookin’ for tomorrow, grindin' just to save face

Chorus: Female Vocalist

Back when we rocked, no doubt in those days

Life on the streets, growin’ up in L.A.

Misunderstood, tryna find our own way

Hard times, good times, faded in the haze
