Streets Cry

Intro

Yeah

(Drill sound)

Uh

Verse 1

Four walls closing in

I can hear the bass through the floor

Dust on every window sill

Ain't been home in months before

They want names they want numbers

I just keep my mouth shut tight

In the trenches with my brothers

We move silent through the night

Pre-Chorus

Stepped out the darkness

Into a life I didn't choose

Can't fold under the pressure

Got too much to lose

Chorus

Sliding through the rain

808s beneath my feet

They don't know the half of it

What we done to eat

Sliding through the pain

Strings crying in the street

Every opp is watching

But they never make a peep

Post-Chorus

Drill

(Dun-dun-dun-dun)

Drill

(Dun-dun-dun)

Verse 2

Phone buzz at 3 AM

Another job that needs a hand

Silk scarf and a dark coat

Moving quicker than the feds' van

Chest cold from the concrete

Where we used to run and play

Now it's wire taps and ski masks

Guess the kid got lost along the way

Pre-Chorus

Stepped out the darkness

Into a life I didn't choose

Can't fold under the pressure

Got too much to lose

Chorus

Sliding through the rain

808s beneath my feet

They don't know the half of it

What we done to eat

Sliding through the pain

Strings crying in the street

Every opp is watching

But they never make a peep

Bridge

Violins stretch out

Like sirens in the fog

Every beat I ride out

Shadows on the log

Head down, hood up

That's the only way I know

Trained by the pavement

Every move is for the bros

Chorus

Sliding through the rain

808s beneath my feet

They don't know the half of it

What we done to eat

Sliding through the pain

Strings crying in the street

Every opp is watching

But they never make a peep
