City Streets
Survival Symphony: Navigating the Shadows of City Streets
Lyrics
There's a warm breeze a blowin'
There is a pleasant breeze blowing.
And a full moon on the rise
There is a full moon rising.
There's no sure way of knowin'
Uncertainty about the future is prevalent.
Who's gonna live and whose gonna die
The unpredictability of life and death is emphasized.
Talkin' tough won't save you from the switch blade in your back
Displaying toughness won't protect you from betrayal.
Gotta look over your shoulder and be ready for attack
Vigilance is necessary, always be prepared for an attack.
It ain't fun
The reality of the situation is not enjoyable.
It ain't nice
The harsh truth is not pleasant.
Cause you ain't ever coming back....
Death is final and irreversible.
...from these city streets
The challenges and dangers are associated with urban life.
You better know where you're going
Having a clear direction in this environment is crucial.
You'll be dying to survive
Survival in the city requires a constant struggle.
In the shadows they ain't showing
The hidden aspects of the city are not easily revealed.
Where they hide their forty five
Illegal and dangerous weapons are concealed in the shadows.
Christine works for Tido, selling tricks out on the side
Christine is involved in illicit activities for Tido on the side.
Johnny likes hustle and he'll take what he can he find
Johnny is opportunistic and will exploit any available opportunity.
You can run
Escaping the challenges is difficult.
But you can't hide
A warning that hiding won't solve the underlying issues.
You ain't ever comin' back...
Reiterating the finality of leaving the city.
...from these city streets
The challenges and dangers persist even after leaving.
