(Chorus):

Livin’ on the edge, but I still got love,

Dreams don’t fade in the streets where I’m from.

Through the pain and the struggle, I keep holdin’ on,

Reflections on the block, yeah, my heart stays strong.

( Verse 1):

Rollin’ through the city, where the streetlights glow,

Memories of homies that I used to know.

We was young, chasin’ dreams, dodgin’ cops on the scene,

Now the distance between us cuts deeper than it seems.

I see the scars in the mirror, life’s lessons carved in,

Lost some brothers to the game, others locked in the pen.

But I ain’t holdin’ grudges, let the past fade away,

Send love to my people, hope they make it someday.

Concrete jungle, where the hustlers survive,

Every night’s a battle, but I’m thankful I’m alive.

Got my eyes on the stars, though the block’s still my home,

Pen and pad in my hand, writin’ truth in these poems.

(Chorus):

Livin’ on the edge, but I still got love,

Dreams don’t fade in the streets where I’m from.

Through the pain and the struggle, I keep holdin’ on,

Reflections on the block, yeah, my heart stays strong.

(Verse 2):

Walkin’ through the shadows, where the dealers make plays,

Every corner got a story, every night’s a new maze.

Used to kick it with my dawgs, now we walk different roads,

Some chose the hustle, some carry heavier loads.

But I forgive the changes, life’s a game we all play,

No time for hate when I’m grindin’ for a better day.

Mama prayed for my soul, said, “Son, keep it real,”

So I’m dodgin’ all the traps, keep my hand on the wheel.

From the block to the booth, I’m still speakin’ my truth,

For the kids in the struggle, for the lost in they youth.

Though the streets stay cold, I got fire in my chest,

Turn my pain into power, let my heart do the rest.

(Chorus):

Livin’ on the edge, but I still got love,

Dreams don’t fade in the streets where I’m from.

Through the pain and the struggle, I keep holdin’ on,

Reflections on the block, yeah, my heart stays strong.

(Outro):

On the block, where the dreams don’t fade,

Got love for my homies, though the times have changed.

Reflections in my soul, as the night moves on,

Keep holdin’ on, yeah, my heart stays strong.
