Oscar Auliq-Ice - Streets Ain't Fair lyrics

In the heart of the city
Where the nights ain't pretty
Tales of hustlers, no luck, no pity
Walking these alleys, with shadows so tall
Hustling for paper, backs against the wall

Chrome pieces gleaming, under
Streetlights beaming
Trust is a luxury, every corner scheming
Mama in the window, tears in her stare
"Make it back home, baby, " a silent prayer

Lost in the struggle, carrying
Burdens we wear
On these hard concrete streets, man
Life ain't fair
But every night I lay, with hope so deep
Asking the Lord, my soul to keep

Stacking up dollars, danger
Around every bend
Old homies turned foes, can't trust a friend
Graffiti on walls, tell stories of pain
Of brothers we lost, in this concrete rain

Fast life, fast cars, seeking
Fame and respect
But every bullet leaves a mark
An eternal effect
Kneeling on corners, whispering prayers
In the night, "Guide me through this, Lord
Show me the light"

Gangsta ties, street wise, under urban skies
Seeking redemption, before the sun rise
Fighting for a way out
From this endless maze
Looking for brighter days
Through the smoky haze

Lost in the struggle, carrying
Burdens we bear
On these cold city streets, man
Life ain't fair
But every night I pray, with dreams so deep
Asking the Lord, my soul to keep

Golden chains, and watches that bling
In this world of chaos, material things
But deep inside, there's a void, a hole
Seeking peace, a way to console

To every young G, trying to find a way
Remember there's hope, brighter days to sway
Put down the heat, lift up a prayer
There's a way out, a life that’s rare

As I lay tonight, in this bed I've made
I pray for salvation
From the choices I've weighed
If tonight's the end, if
Fate decides to take
Lord, grant me mercy, my soul, please take
