Life on the Edge

[Verse 1] Walkin’ through the block, feelin’ eyes on my back Heat under my coat, yeah, I’m ready to clap Seen a homie switch up, first thing he did was attack Gotta move smart, can’t let ’em get me trapped Every corner got a story, every street got a tale One wrong move, and you end up in the jail Law keep breathin’ down my neck, heavy like a scale But I keep pushin’, grindin’, never frail Lost some real ones, memories hit hard Tryna stack my paper, playin’ my cards Shorty by my side, she seen me scarred But we keep ridin’, every day livin’ large [Chorus] Let me tell you what it’s like Fightin’ just to survive Movin’ fast in the night Prayin’ that I stay alive Life on the edge, every day’s a test Holdin’ on tight, gotta give it my best Let me tell you what it’s like Yeah, I’m fightin’ for my life [Verse 2] Process slow, they tryna hold me down Every court date, feel like a battleground Got a son on the way, can’t let ’em see me drown Keep my Glock close, gotta guard my crown Plug came through, handed work, I flipped it quick Enemies lurkin’, they don’t know my tricks Shots in the alley, now they runnin’ like flicks Street code deep, ain’t no room for snitch Time flyin’, days turn to nights Prayin’ my people stay safe in the fights Lean on my faith, gotta keep my rights Life on the edge, gotta reach new heights [Chorus] Let me tell you what it’s like Fightin’ just to survive Movin’ fast in the night Prayin’ that I stay alive Life on the edge, every day’s a test Holdin’ on tight, gotta give it my best Let me tell you what it’s like Yeah, I’m fightin’ for my life [Outro] This streets don’t play, gotta stay alert One slip, one move, could get you hurt But I grind every day, put in that work Lil Stryke on the rise, never gon’ desert
