[Verse] Desert eagle in the glovebox, sunburnt dash Palm trees whisper secrets 'bout the money stash Chrome spinning, streetlights flash, time moving fast Riding on fumes, but the hustle gon’ last Cracked pavement, where the stories collide Every block got a code, every corner got pride Got a dream in my pocket, pistol on my side The city breathes sin, but the angels still glide [Chorus] This ghetto mirage, where the streets camouflage Life in the fog, where we break every law From dusk till dawn, we just hustle and dodge This ghetto mirage, this ghetto mirage [Verse 2] Hydraulics pop, I’m levitating in the lane Cali breeze kiss my face, it numbs the pain OGs on the porch, still spitting the game Every move calculated, nothing done in vain Graffiti on the walls, hieroglyphs of the block Sirens harmonize with the tick of the clock If the heat too close, gotta ditch the Glock Life’s a dice roll, don’t let the streets mock [Chorus] This ghetto mirage, where the streets camouflage Life in the fog, where we break every law From dusk till dawn, we just hustle and dodge This ghetto mirage [Verse] Palm trees leanin', shadows on the strip Sunset bleedin', city lights drip Chrome rims glintin', corner store chatter Dice hit pavement, dreams get shattered Sand in my Jordans, heat on my waist Life's a tightrope, ain't no time to waste Gold chain swingin', reflection in the glass Past chasin' me, can't outrun the past [Chorus] Street mirage, where the smoke gets thick Dreams evaporate, vanish real quick Hustle through the fog, every step a risk Street mirage, just a flick of the wrist [Verse 2] Liquor store neon, buzzin' in my ear Sirens hum a lullaby, death's always near Caddies creep slow, shadows in the dark Every alley whispers, every dog bark Chain-link fences, scars on the block Graffiti screams stories the world forgot OG's posted, eyes cold as steel They say the game’s the truth, but the truth don’t heal [Bridge] Cracks in the pavement, maps to the soul Hood tattoos, every mark takes a toll Money in my fist, sins in my veins Prayin' to the heavens, but I’m chained to the game
