Sacred Streets
Verse 1: Grew up in the shadows where the sun don't shine, Where the weak get swallowed and the strong survive, Mama said pray, but the devil's on the grind, Trying to take my soul, but I won't let him bind, Learned to hustle quick, had to dodge the feds, But my mind stayed sharp, I was breaking bread, With the prophets in the alleys, where the truth gets bled, Carving out my path, where the angels fear to tread. Life's a battlefield, every step’s a test, But I keep my faith close, got the scripture on my chest, Lost a couple homies to the war on the block, But I carry their names, like the tick of a clock, Time keeps moving, but the pain don’t fade, So I turned to the light, in the midst of the shade, Found a higher purpose, in the darkest of nights, Now I walk with the warriors, blessed by the fight. Chorus: I'm walking through the fire, but my soul's been baptized, Hustlin' on the corners, but my spirit's on the rise, Sacred streets, where the darkness meets the light, I'm a spiritual gangster, keepin' truth in my sight. Verse 2: In the midst of the chaos, found peace in the storm, Through the trials and the struggles, a new me was born, Meditatin' on the block, where the wicked get torn, But my mind stays focused, like the eye of a hawk, Seen the snakes in the grass, tried to lead me astray, But the wisdom of the ancients kept the demons at bay, Took the lessons from the hood, turned the pain into prayer, Now I'm rising above, in this game we play. Every scar on my body tells a story of war, But my soul stays clean, never strayed from the core, Walkin' with the righteous, but the streets still call, So I stand on the edge, never afraid to fall, 'Cause I know who I am, and I know where I’ve been, A soldier of the light, in a world full of sin, Bringing hope to the hopeless, in the land of the lost, Sacred streets taught me, there's a line you don’t cross. Chorus: I'm walking through the fire, but my soul's been baptized, Hustlin' on the corners, but my spirit's on the rise, Sacred streets, where the darkness meets the light, I'm a spiritual gangster, keepin' truth in my sight. Verse 3: Now I'm a beacon in the hood, where the shadows still creep, But I spread the good word, so the lost souls can peep, That there's more to this life than the chains and the gold, More to this grind than the lies we've been told, Found redemption in the struggle, clarity in the fight, A path to the heavens, though the streets are still tight, But I walk it with grace, never lost in the fray, Got my eyes on the prize, never led astray. See, the streets may be ruthless, but they taught me to grow, Taught me resilience, how to rise from below, Now I'm building a kingdom, brick by brick, With the wisdom of the elders, and the love of the clique, We're transforming the block, one soul at a time, Turning darkness to light, and the struggle to rhyme, Sacred streets are my temple, where the truth still shines, I'm a spiritual gangster, and the world is mine.
