Rough Edges of Societyv6

[Intro] [Verse] Cement jungle teeth bare, no apologies Pavement cracks whisper cold analogies Streetlights flicker, ghosts in the alleys freeze Hunger pangs sharper than a thief's strategies Grey skies bruise, drip blood in the storm Every soul born here battle-worn Man sells his dreams for a check torn Life's a dice roll loaded, scorned [Chorus] Hard knocks, no safety net to catch me Chains tight, society won't let me be Streets breathe fire, no room for empathy Rough edges of society can't set me free Hard knocks, no safety net to catch me Chains tight, society won't let me be Streets breathe fire, no room for empathy Rough edges of society can't set me free [Verse] Grime on the hands, dirt under nails Hope on the run, chased by betrayal Laws like shackles, justice tips scales Dreams behind bars, another soul fails Concrete sermons, preachers with no faith Hustlers in the shadows, lives misplaced Eyes watch the clock, each second's a blade Cutting deep, taking lives into the grave [Chorus] Hard knocks, no safety net to catch me Chains tight, society won't let me be Streets breathe fire, no room for empathy Rough edges of society can't set me free Hard knocks, no safety net to catch me Chains tight, society won't let me be Streets breathe fire, no room for empathy Rough edges of society can't set me free [Outro]
