Street Symphony

Street Symphony Urban Thoughtz Part 2 As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death The Streets just took another soldier leavin another mother breathless Trapped in the fact that men cant escape smokin so many trees that they start to shed leaves Is this the reason so many sistas and brothas have to watch their fathers leave Beautiful ladies still in A Lady dream Still workin it out tryna get drafted to a niggas team And them same brothas doin the same ol things Playing tha same ol games wit they hearts true deffinition calls it lying Im livin my life like Jehova a gift and a curse Tryna spit my soul out everytime my pen drops a verse But yall still aint feelin me like my name was novicane Thats why i arrived at my nickname the very steak to the claim Just like my words i Drizzle a sign of waring before it rains Keep ya nose in the books and ya head held high So many of us missed it so then even the sky cried So many made a turn at he fork when they should have went straight As communities forget the word togther and embrace the word hate While mothers beg for they lost sons to be sent to heavens gate Now we playin the game of life with the difficulty set to hard I kno that i can make it through even wit my pain and my scars The message is so clear to me but for others Its so hard to hear like a moblie phone wit no bars So live ya own life hold on to everything lovly Never forget to pray for what it is down on bended knee And kno that the life you live is forever part of the Street Syphony
