Pistol's Tale

[Verse] From the dirty alleys of Beaver Falls, Pistol roam Old sneakers on gravel, heavy step, sin's his home He dreams big, reality clip his wings On the block, every day, pushin', movin' precise things Midnight echoes, his shout reverberate Whispers of the streets, his legend circulate Holdin' heat, not the kind to warm his bones Hustlin' hard, collected dreams, unpaid loans [Verse 2] Graffiti on the wall, tales of his street fame Every rival took note, Pistol's deadly game Midst rusted railways, forgotten Neighborhood blues Fast deals and cop sirens, he never could choose Finger on trigger, heart on the edge Sworn loyalty, blood oath, a solemn pledge Pa streets taught him, survival no joke In the shadows, with heroes, hopes broke [Chorus] Pistol's saga unfold on the pavement Life's a beast, no rules, full containment Steel city echoes, Pistol's name loud In the grime and the grit, forever he's proud [Verse 3] Day breaks on Beaver Falls, sun rise slow Pistol still movin', shadows where he go Echoes of school bells, childhood long gone Now it's hustles and scores, nights long till dawn Flare of a lighter, his only guiding flame Fast deals, quick cash, street life's game Bare knuckles to the sky, defy the odds In a town that forgot 'em, he got no other gods [Bridge] Old memories flicker, in abandoned lots Friends turned ghosts, sorrow in knots Pistol keeps pushin', future so dim Hope's a far-off dream, chances so slim [Chorus] Pistol's saga unfold on the pavement Life's a beast, no rules, full containment Steel city echoes, Pistol's name loud In the grime and the grit, forever he's proud
