Joao Liberato - Streetlight Confessions Lyrics

[Intro]
Silêncio na rua, sangue no chão
Memories haunting, can't let it go

[Verse 1]
Battle stance frozen, sweat on my face
Thought we were brothers, now space between space
Remember the cypher, remember the days
Before the metal flashed, before the rage
Lucas set it up, snake in the grass
Now Rafael's life hanging by a thread, that's facts
Emergency room beats like a drum
Beep beep beep, machines keeping him strong

[Chorus]
Dance with the devil, dance with the pain
Streets got rules that keep us insane
Funk still flows through my veins
Even when darkness calls my name
Porra, we used to be kings of this game

[Verse 2]
Flashbacks hit me when I hit the stage
Every move feels like dodging that blade
PTSD got me scanning the crowd
Trust nobody when shit gets loud
Hospital hallways echo with truth
How many homies we gotta lose?
Lucas played us both, now look at the cost
Two brothers divided, one nearly lost

[Bridge]
Caralho, why'd it have to be you?
Dancing shadows of what we been through
Sirens mixing with baile funk groove
Guilt eating me up, what could I do?

[Verse 3]
Now every battle feels like life or death
Each performance could be my last breath
But we survive, that's what we do
Streets taught us lessons, painful but true
Rafael recovering, slowly but sure
Our brotherhood stronger than before
F*ck what they say about showing fear
Real ones know what brought us here

[Outro]
Silence in the club, memories fade
But rhythm heals what the streets betrayed
Funk saved us both, that's what I know
From hospital beds to the dance floor show
