This is about the darker sides of life in any city.
We roll through the streets,
While turning up the beats,
The night is my domain,
Riding the streets like blood through my veins,
We spread a plague to them all,
Inevitably, our own downfall.

I don't know why I must do this,
This life brings only shallow bliss,
Nothing but deceit and lies,
Be careful with whom you have ties.

Some can make you,
More can break you,
Second chances don't come around,
Before you get one you'll be underground.

In this game there are no mistakes,
Or else your life they'll quickly take,
These dark places where we live,
Come around because of what we give,
We are sick to live this way,
Making lives part of the games we play.

We live our lives during the night,
Afraid God can see us in the day,
We are anything at all but light,
These dark streets hold our lives in sway.
