Verse 1:
In the city where the shadows play,
Money moves fast, gotta seize the day.
Stacks on the rise, but the price is high,
Dreams on the line, watching the clock fly.
Chorus:
Money, guns, the echo of the night,
Living on the edge, always ready for a fight.
Cops on the corner, watching every move,
Opps lurking close, gotta stay in the groove.
Verse 2:
Streetlights flicker, the danger's real,
Trust is a luxury that you can't feel.
Drugs in the alley, temptation in the air,
Chasing after dreams, but do we really care?
Chorus:
Money, guns, the echo of the night,
Living on the edge, always ready for a fight.
Cops on the corner, watching every move,
Opps lurking close, gotta stay in the groove.
Bridge:
Count the dollars while we play this game,
Life’s a gamble, no one’s here to tame.
Beneath the surface, the pressure builds,
In the streets where the thirst for power kills.
Verse 3:
In the darkness, we find our own light,
Survival’s the mantra, gotta take flight.
Every heartbeat tells a story untold,
In the war for respect, watch the brave be bold.
Chorus:
Money, guns, the echo of the night,
Living on the edge, always ready for a fight.
Cops on the corner, watching every move,
Opps lurking close, gotta stay in the groove.
Outro:
So we hustle, we grind, through the highs and lows,
In a world where nobody really knows.
Shadows of the streets, where the stories collide,
Live for the moment, with nothing to hide.
