These Streets

These streets are where the devil lives
Where temptation and things from your nightmares exist.
No time for doubts or pessimists 
To survive you need the heart of a man ready to conquer Everest 

Behind the bright lights, hectic city nights 
lurks a sinister side 
one that can be seen through a blind man’s eyes.

So stick to  walking a straight path 
if not it’s going to get dark, 
because that knife cuts deep it leaves more then a mark,
to many mothers and family’s getting ripped apart.

These streets will steal your style and charisma,
roll them up with tobacco and ignite them in a rizla,
all for what ?,
for  your name to be forgotten and your presence not missed,
just to end up  another statistic on a ever growing list.

So Stop and think,
before your life  becomes part of the payment,
you don’t want to be fifteen years old dying alone on the pavement.
