Dark nights street lights where the pain
Dwells
Lost dreams cracked screens hear the rain's bells
Young souls trapped goals in these same cells
New world same hells where they claim shells
Hustle hard boulevard takin' what they give
F*ck the system broke wisdom we just tryna live
New world same curse still we gotta live
Mama cryin' kids dyin' from the lead's kiss
Fathers miss cold wrists in the feds' twist
New world same list of the dead's fists
Dreams shattered lives battered on the block's edge
Truth told lies bold in the cop's pledge
New world same wedge that the lost dread
A new world depression they tryna test the essence
Hood stressed and guessin' we searchin' for the blessin'
F*ck the misconceptions we livin' with aggression
Streets cold no confession it's lessons in succession
Bitches chase possessions these pussies need direction
Lost in the obsession no place for reflection
Hustlin's our profession ain't no love in discretion
System's indiscretion we tryna find progression
Kids born into recession pain in our expression
In this dark oppression we strive for resurrection
