[Verse] Five to two he stands in the cold Selling dreams that crumble and fold Pockets fat but the soul stays thin It's a cycle he was born within [Prechorus] Streetlights flicker like broken stars Every corner feels like Mars [Chorus] Hood survival he knows no other way Night turns to morning but it’s all the same day Hustling shadows chasing the pay Hood survival he don’t see another way [Verse 2] Hopes buried under pavement cracks Every risk he takes He can't turn back Loyal to the grind Chained to the night Freedom’s a word that stays out of sight [Prechorus] Dreams fade quick like the smoke he exhales But giving up feels like the ultimate fail [Chorus] Hood survival he knows no other way Night turns to morning but it’s all the same day Hustling shadows chasing the pay Hood survival he don’t see another way
