Verse 1:

Yo, streets ain't no playground, better watch your step,
I seen young bloods drown, lost in the rep,
Slangin' that rock just to get by,
But trust me, homie, that life make you die.

I was knee-deep in the game, chasin’ that cash,
Got homies sellin' bodies, tryna get that fast stash,
Livin' like ghosts, trapped in the night,
But ain't no winners when you caught in the fight.

Prostitutes walkin', think they own the world,
But behind every smile, there's a shattered girl,
Tryna escape, but the streets pull you in,
First it's the money, then it’s life in sin.

Chorus:

Don't chase the streets, they ain't got no love,
Death and prison’s all they hand you from above,
If you deep in the game, homie, find a way,
Run to the light ‘fore you fade away.
(Yeah) This life don’t care ‘bout your pain or name,
Better step out ‘fore you lose the game.

Verse 2:

I used to move packs, hit the block with the fiends,
Seen lives fall apart, chasin' broken dreams,
Nothin' but death in them streets I sold,
But now I’m speakin’ out, tryna break that hold.

Ain't no glory in the money, it’s a lie, it’s a trap,
Once you in deep, dawg, there ain’t no map,
No way back when the blood stains your hands,
And the jail cells waitin' to lock you in the land.

I seen good homies turn cold like stone,
Saw sisters on the corner who never went home,
All for the dollar, the pipe, and the thrill,
But homie, trust me, it’s all just a kill.

Chorus:

Bridge:

I’m beggin’ you, dawg, don't fall for the lies,
Seen too many buried, too many goodbyes,
You can rise above, don’t let it take you down,
Life’s more than this street, more than this town.

Verse 3:

I made it out, but not without scars,
Lost too many souls under them stars,
It’s a warzone, but you don’t gotta fight,
There’s peace, homie, if you walk to the light.

Turn your back on the streets, don’t follow the crew,
The devil’s on every corner, waitin’ for you,
If you caught in the game, there’s still a chance,
Step away, start over, break free from the trance.

Ain’t no shame in survivin', but don’t stay blind,
Find a way out, homie, leave that life behind,
There’s a future, but it starts with a choice,
Walk away from the streets and find your voice.
