Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Growing up in the struggle, every day's a fight,
Mama working double shifts just to make it right,
Daddy gone, lost to the streets, never said goodbye,
Kids raising kids, that's the streets' cry.
(Chorus)
In the city where the sirens wail,
Young souls lost, caught up in the hail,
Bullets flying, tears falling from the sky,
In the heart of the hood, that's the streets' cry.
(Verse 2)
Broken dreams and shattered hopes,
Gotta hustle hard just to cope,
System against us, we still try,
Surviving in the chaos, that's the streets' cry.
(Chorus)
In the city where the sirens wail,
Young souls lost, caught up in the hail,
Bullets flying, tears falling from the sky,
In the heart of the hood, that's the streets' cry.
(Bridge)
Police brutality, racial inequality,
Prayers for peace in this reality,
We rise up, never say die,
Voices unheard, that's the streets' cry.
(Chorus)
In the city where the sirens wail,
Young souls lost, caught up in the hail,
Bullets flying, tears falling from the sky,
In the heart of the hood, that's the streets' cry.
(Outro)
From the pain and the sorrow,
We'll build a better tomorrow,
In the midst of the chaos, we'll fly,
United we stand, against the streets' cry.
On corners where the darkness creeps,
Whispers in the night, secrets we keep,
Hope flickers like a candle's light,
In the labyrinth of alleys, that's the streets' plight.
(Chorus)
In the city where the sirens wail,
Young souls lost, caught up in the hail,
Bullets flying, tears falling from the sky,
In the heart of the hood, that's the streets' cry.
(Verse 4)
Schools failing, futures uncertain,
Yet from the asphalt, dreams still curtain,
Through the cracks, resilience seeps,
In the concrete jungle, where hope often sleeps.
(Bridge)
Police batons and tear gas streams,
Yet in the protests, hope gleams,
Marching on, side by side,
In the face of injustice, that's the streets' pride.
(Chorus)
In the city where the sirens wail,
Young souls lost, caught up in the hail,
Bullets flying, tears falling from the sky,
In the heart of the hood, that's the streets' cry.
(Outro)
From the pain and the sorrow,
We'll build a better tomorrow,
In the midst of the chaos, we'll fly,
United we stand, against the streets' cry.
(Breakdown)
In the silence of the night,
Stars whisper tales of our might,
Though the struggle may seem never-ending,
In unity, our strength, forever ascending
(Outro)
From the pain and the sorrow,
We'll build a better tomorrow,
In the midst of the chaos, we'll fly,
United we stand, against the streets' cry.
(Breakdown)
In the silence of the night,
Stars whisper tales of our might,
Though the struggle may seem never-ending,
In unity, our strength, forever ascending
