Living in these streets


Sigh*

Okay,

Tomorrow is another day,

Just go to sleep, then press play

Out here you don't know what to expect

According to society you're just a reject

It's a constant struggle to be in these streets

It's hard not to feel defeat

They say good things don't come easy, you have to work hard 

But when the odds are against you, it's like you got a bad set of cards

No way out

It's like your destiny has got it figured out
