Children of the street

We weren't welcome — kicked out through the door,
Left a mark on the pavement, went straight back for more.
No names, no papers, just ghosts in the night,
In a city of shadows where nothing feels right.
Every sidewalk's our home, every streetlight's a guard,
We don't ask for nothing, although life is hard.
Fate dealt the cards, we just play 'em out...
You know exactly what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Where names fade out — we take our stand,
Where law falls through — we take command.
 
We are the children of the street,
Power and cash aren't what we need.
The road gets heavy, but we don't retreat —
We are the children of the street.

Shadows know our steps, we move in the dark,
Scars on the brickwork ignite like a spark.
No keys, no addresses, we claim the cold ground,
Midnight’s our language, we speak without sound.
Let ‘em swing with their talk, let ‘em play to the crowd,
Our silence strikes hard, then it drops like a shroud.
We ain’t stepping back, our will won't rust,
The block is our bloodline, in brothers we trust.

Where names fade out — we take our stand,
Where law falls through — we take command.

We are the children of the street,
Power and cash aren't what we need.
The road gets heavy, but we don't retreat —
We are the children of the street.

We don't ask for change — we flip the page,
Shatter every cage, reveal our rage.

We are the children of the street,
Power and cash aren't what we need.
The road gets heavy, but we don't retreat —
We are the children of the street.
