ALL IN MY HEAD

by @Moemo

Rollin' through the streets, shadows deep in the night, City lights flicker, and I feel the fright. Voices in my mind, they talkin' loud, they gettin' fed, Can't shake this feelin'—it's all in my head. Concrete jungle, where dreams get crushed, Survivin' day by day, tryin’ not to rush. Hustlin' on the daily, gotta make that bread, Livin' on the edge—it's all in my head. Brothers on the corner, eyes on the prize, But every step forward, someone's cuttin' ties. Steel bars and sirens, my fate's in threads, Dodgin' bullets and lies—it's all in my head. Heart heavy, can't find no peace, Demons in the dark, they on the release. Mama's prayers, hopes hangin' by a thread, Holdin' on to faith—it's all in my head. Love feels distant, trust is rare, In a world so cold, who really cares? But somewhere deep, where my dreams get fed, Hope still whispers softly—it's all in my head. Concrete can't crush the spirit we hold, Through the tears and pain, still bold. Livin’ and survivin', dreams not dead, Strivin' for tomorrow—it's all in my head.
