[Verse 1] In the streets where the drills echo loud Life's a battle, we march and we proud Every step a statement, every line a strike Survivors' tales in every rhyme we write [Chorus] This is the life, in the heart of the fight We shine through the dark, we ignite the night No surrender, just courage in our eyes In this concrete jungle where the strong survive [Verse 2] From the corner where the dealers make their trade To the alleys where the bullets carve the grade We rise above the chaos, we tell our tale A symphony of ghetto tales, we never fail [Outro] The life, it ain't easy but it's real We own these streets, we feel With every breath, with every beat We live the life, we won't retreat.
