Streets Ain't Fair Lyrics

Streets Ain't Fair Lyrics by OSCAR AULIQ-ICE

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
