ASTAL - Street Life lyrics

Check it out, oh Detroit city got me gritty I'm filthy I can't help it I really hope to make it with this hand I was dealt with Staring out my rear view, looking for a clear view It's hard to pray to God when you feel the devils near you Kids turn to burglars, streets are full of murders Enough to turn you cold so we all pack burners Junkies by the furnace and they trying to keep warm Doing right ain't feeling right so I rather do wrong The world is on fire you can hear the bodies burning The oil is running out but the wheels keep turning Tomorrow ain't certain so I'm living for today I hope to go to college but prison's in the way Enough stress to turn me crazed so I'm looking much older You k** for colder if you turn the wrong corner Life expectancy is shorter than you really can imagine Hope to see 23, the only thing I'm asking It's another day alone, it's a war to survive I'm all on my own, hope to make it home alive It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life My heart's turned to stone man it's almost like it died You could run and run forever but there ain't no where to hide It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life Now who the hell's there, someone's knocking on my door I feel d**h is out to get me hope to make it out for sure There ain't a star in the sky so it's hard to make a wish I might be the next to die, hard to see through the mist Blowing kiss from my mother, give a hug to my brother Light a candle on the mantle, say a prayer, say another It's a street life, we fight for everything we got It's the street life, three strikes, the only thing we got I make my money in the hallway, feast by the doorway Sell a pack, make a stack, I'll be here all day Hustle when it's broad day, forget what the law say Welcome to the jungle you a long way from broadway Never knock the hustle and they really would've see is Pistol packin in my jeans, see the demons in my dreams Now what does it mean when your body turns numb? And you're scared of what's comin so you begin to run It's another day alone, it's a war to survive I'm all on my own, hope to make it home alive It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life My heart's turned to stone man it's almost like it died You could run and run forever but there ain't no where to hide It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life Call the cops, call the swastik, gotta mend me a loose Doose doose in my goose ain't no calling a truce I spit the truth and nothing but it, now why can't I kick the bucket I'm used to having nothing so I'm always having something Have my mind on the front, why the hell would I lie I know exactly where I'm going, why the hell should I try Everybody's getting locked up, bodies turning chopped up Girls are being knocked up, money's being mocked up You could get socked up so watch how you talking The whole city's scorching so watch where you walking This can happen often so it's really nothing new to me Usually, you could catch a kiss before puberty People's screaming unity but nothing seems to change Everybody's on the way, diamond knows what's in my brain Enough to make a man insane, all I feel is the rain I wanna welcome you to the city full of pain It's another day alone, it's a war to survive I'm all on my own, hope to make it home alive It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life My heart's turned to stone man it's almost like it died You could run and run forever but there ain't no where to hide It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life It's another day alone, it's a war to survive I'm all on my own, hope to make it home alive It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life My heart's turned to stone man it's almost like it died You could run and run forever but there ain't no where to hide It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life It's the street life, street life
