STREETS TAUGHT ME”

Intro]

Yeah…

YOUNG LIFE

Straight out the fire…

Heart of a lion…

Raised in the storm, no umbrella on me

Rain so heavy, I was tryna break free

Mama with the prayers, I was with the streets

Dodgin’ them bullets and duckin’ police

Pain in my chest, but I walk like a G

Every day hunger, I ain’t talkin' no feast

Friends in the dirt, some gone, some locked

But I still hear they voice when I walk on the block

The streets taught me how to move in silence

How to grind with pressure, handle violence

How to wear pain like it's my designer

Now I walk with fire, heart of a lion

Never broke, just bruised

Never fold, I choose

To stand tall in war

‘Cause I was made for more

I seen too much, blood on the pavement

Still prayin’ deep even when I’m faded

Trust nobody, love turn fake

They smile in your face but behind it’s hate

I was down so long, but I never tapped

Bounced back heavy, now I’m on the map

I remember cold nights with no heat

Now they play my name in the backseat

Came from nothin’ but I dreamt of gold

Now I spit truth, I don't do what I'm told

They ain’t believe, now they wanna ride

But where was you at when my hope almost died?

The streets taught me how to move in silence… (repeat)

Ayy, I’m still standing

Still roaring

Still fighting

That’s that lion in me

YOUNG LIFE
