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
