Lyrics

Survivin' the Streets
[Verse 1]
Arf arf, back when I was young, hit the ground runnin', Hunger pain, like a wolf, man, there ain't no fun in. Grrr, streets are cold, got no place to lay my head, Abandoned by the world, livin' with the stray dogs instead. What, survival of the fittest in this concrete jungle, Where the devils lurk, gotta fight, never stumble. Primal instinct kickin' in, like a lion's roar, I was born in the struggle, now I'm ready for more.
[Chorus]
Come on, I’m survivin’ the streets, Fighting battles every night, never knowin’ defeat. Gotta keep pushin’ through the pain, through the fire, Feelin’ the weight, but I rise, never tire. Survivin’ the streets, hear the demons callin' me, But I’m holdin’ on tight, findin’ strength in my agony.
[Verse 2]
What, look at my past, it’s a warzone, Abuse and neglect, man, I learned to hold my own. Grrr, echoes of the block, the sirens wail, Dodge the bullets and the snakes, feel the darkness prevail. Hustle hard, everyday, like a madman, I turned my pain to a weapon, ain't that the plan? Fuck the world, if you ain't been there, don't speak, I faced my demons head on, yeah, I’m not weak.
[Chorus]
Come on, I’m survivin’ the streets, Fighting battles every night, never knowin’ defeat. Gotta keep pushin’ through the pain, through the fire, Feelin’ the weight, but I rise, never tire. Survivin’ the streets, hear the demons callin' me, But I’m holdin’ on tight, findin’ strength in my agony.
[Bridge]
Pray for redemption, while I’m fightin' this pain, Feel the weight of the world like it’s drenched in rain. Grrr, I’m searchin' for the light in this dark fight, But the shadows whisper loud when I’m tryin’ to take flight. Gotta trust in the struggle, feel the spirit inside, Even in the darkest times, I ain't got nowhere to hide.
[Verse 3]
Arf arf, rise from the ashes, see the sun shining, Turn my heart into gold, man, I’m done with the whining. What, I’m a warrior, painted with scars, Keep my head up high, man, I’m reachin' for stars. Fuck the hate, I’m just a kid with a dream, A king in my kingdom, hear the crowd scream. The streets tried to break me, but I’m still here, Faith in my heart, gotta battle the fear.
[Chorus]
Come on, I’m survivin’ the streets, Fighting battles every night, never knowin’ defeat. Gotta keep pushin’ through the pain, through the fire, Feelin’ the weight, but I rise, never tire. Survivin’ the streets, hear the demons callin' me, But I’m holdin’ on tight, findin’ strength in my agony.
