streets & prayers - oscar auliq-ice lyrics
verse 1:
grew up in the city, life wasn’t pretty
hustling on corners, my crew and fifty
cold nights, bright lights, dreams of the dough
rivals shooting shots, evading five*oh
hunger in my belly, ambition in my veins
concrete jungle, feeling the chains
momma tried to warn me, said there’s more out there
but all i ever knew was this life of despair
chorus:
lost in these streets, heavy burdens i wear
every night i lay down, whispering a prayer
“lord, if the streets take me ‘forе the dawn’s break
keep my soul, for thesе mistakes i did make.”
verse 2:
seen my brothers fall, seen them rise again
loyalty’s the code, till the very end
gangsta’s paradise, where we write the rules
cash, power, respect; that’s the hustle’s tools
dealing with the deals, trying not to get caught
chasing paper, evading the thoughts
of a life lost, or a soul sold
but in the game’s grip, man, it’s a hard hold
chorus:
lost in these streets, dreams turning to nightmares
eyes to the sky, hoping someone up there cares
“lord, if this night’s the last i partake
guide my spirit, my soul please take.”
bridge:
tales of the hood, not just sorrow and pain
moments of joy, love, and gain
but the shadows lurk, the danger’s real
every hustler knows, that cold steel feel
verse 3:
diamonds and gold, symbols of the grind
every step i take, legacy i leave behind
trust’s a luxury, betrayal’s cheap
in the world of the wolves, gotta play for keeps
but in quiet moments, i reflect on the cost
all the lives lost, all the souls tossed
to the wind, but i hope for redemption
a street hustler’s confession, no pretension
chorus:
lost in the hustle, surrounded by warfare
eyes closed tight, as i say my street prayer
“lord, when the sirens sing, and the lights fade
remember my heart, not just the path i played.”
outro:
in this urban saga, dreams and despair
all i ask lord, is that you hear my prayer
from these asphalt veins, to the throne up high
hear the cries of a gangsta, as i touch the sky
