Apollo KYDD - City Lights

I'm used to all these city lights
I grew up getting around in these city nights
Used to seeing them boys in these city fights
I'm knowing that, knowing that this city cries
When the daylight fades into the neon lights
A different battle appears in these city nights
It's shame, it's when dreams and spirits die
Souls with long lost dreams yeah they reach the sky
Every block tells a story and every alley breathes a sight
Between the drugs and the sirens and a brother that flies high
But through the streets, resilience thrives and in the face of darkness only a hope survives
Every corner holds a secret, a tale to tell, of broken hearts, illusions that fell
Of forgotten dreams, and goals that didn't come true, of long lost brothers who couldn't make it through
I'm used to all these city lights
I grew up getting around in these city nights
Used to seeing them boys in these city fights
I'm knowing that, knowing that this city cries
Kids running the streets thinking it's a game
Parents letting them be, man it's a shame
Too many deaths daily, yeah but who's to blame?
What they wanted to be is what they became
In these concrete cities, they have an ugly side
Selling drugs and other shit just to provide
For the family, man you can't decide
Where you were born, that shit gets assigned
Every corner holds a secret, a tale to tell, of broken hearts, illusions that fell
Of forgotten dreams, and goals that didn't come true, of long lost brothers who couldn't make it through
