Blood on the Pavement Lyrics

Gunshots sing sirens cry

Another name lost in the bloodstained sky

Momma on the curb tears in her eyes

Another soul gone another headline

I walk alone no fear inside

Pain's my fuel I won't run won't hide

Seen too much can't trust no more

Bodies on the street like a price for war

Feds lurkin' lights flash I keep it movin'

Hood full of ghosts lost too many to illusions

Night so cold but the heat stay tucked

Where I'm from you don't pray you just run out of luck

Blood on the pavement I seen it all

How many more gotta take the fall?

Ain't no justice just names on the wall

Same old cycle we lose 'em all

Murder tape stretchin' 'cross the avenue

Ain't no saints only sinners in the view

We was kids now we just tryna make it through

Hardened hearts can't cry only push through

OG told me Keep your head low

Seen 'em turn snakes when the bread low

Some fight some fall some never make it

But I ain't finna let the streets break me

Cold nights hands tight on the chrome

Whole block numb whole world feel alone

They tell us rise but they cut off the rope

Where's the light when you stuck in the smoke?

Blood on the pavement I seen it all

How many more gotta take the fall?

Ain't no justice just names on the wall

Same old cycle we lose 'em all

Wind howlin' through these empty streets

Another lost soul another life deceased

Same old pain just a different name

And tomorrow gon' feel the same
