Soul He Never Had

Intro

Yeah

Down in the gutter, life's a hard grind

Verse 1

Crack baby haze, walkin on the strip late

Pocket full of nothin, eyes clouded with fate

Black soot stain, maskin up the pain

Talkin to the pavement, searchin for the gain

Voice raspy, trading hope for a prayer

Dollar for a hooker, just to vanish in the air

Junk in his veins, scratchin for a fix

Every day the same, lost in the mix

Chorus

Got haze on his mind and soot on his face

Yesterday vanished, dreams erased

Beggin for a dollar out on the Ave

Hunger in his stare, soul he never had

Verse 2

Barely breathin, city don't care

Rumblin stomach, lost in despair

Dodgin them blue lights, chasin the high

Mama on the corner, tears run dry

Old shoes draggin, streets thick with hate

Lookin for salvation but it's too late

Shots echo nighttime, sleep don't exist

Life in the gutter, stuck in the mist

Pre-Chorus

Shadow creepin, cloudin up the lane

Runnin on empty, don't remember his name

Chorus

Got haze on his mind and soot on his face

Yesterday vanished, dreams erased

Beggin for a dollar out on the Ave

Hunger in his stare, soul he never had
