You are the blood running through my veins You are the streets that made me this way In you I've lost and regained faith But in my silence I'll never betray
These are the streets Where men are made Where our values are sometimes plagued Into temptation I dwell for days
And I can't stop, won't stop Living by the gun I never want to run from my fears I can't stop living this way
And I know what my life means to me And I see there's things that shouldn't be And I know that there's still hope for me But I see myself in these streets
And I try but I can't stop You say there's still time but I won't stop And I know that there's still hope for me But I see myself in these streets
