i walk these cold hearted  street.
in the land of no tomorrow nor
a second chance .
i but a  shadow in the wind of the
endless dreams
this is not a game we play on the street
we play for  keeps.
we live in the shadow of the night.
we are the children of street.
i'll tell you this.
know social worker got my  back
my friend .
they only want that  buck an say
next please.
an talk **** behind our backs.
saying we are  loser an **** bags
in life
an then  best one they say about
us poor people.
an some  of  them doctor and  lawyer
say bad thing about the poor.
not all them say only some them
say.
he a  **** bag or she a **** bag
he loser she a loser  
we **** bag in there  eyes
they talk nice to your face
but wait they talk ****  behind
our  back you see.
that how they roll  
as people.
only some them people  say cure thing.
about poor  people.
shadow in the wind of the
endless dreams  
because we are poor
we have no money to pay there bill
in full
if they  only truly care  for the
lost soul in life.
they  are shadow wind of the  
endless dreams.
you see  only my boys  got my back
and  my homie  because got there backs .
we are crew we are  tight we run own
business .
down here in the hood .
in the shadow of the night .
shadow in wind  of the  endless dreams
my friend look around your  self.
come to my hood i'll show who down
we are the children of street.
and the soldier on the   block .
because know one truly care about
us as people in life.
we are the plague  of society that how
people see us.
my friend
but we are brave soldier of  night.
we are america we are glory and  
we are  proud an honor at own respect.
we can show respect but show us respect.
for who we are as people an  america.
we can help are  neighborhood
an  help are brother and  sister in the hood
we can  bring front are own ideal.
to help the neighborhood an help
children an people   in the hood.
to help are  neighborhood to become
better  place to  live.
let build rainbow of hope in life
an grow as people in life helping one
another in life .
shadow in the wind of the endless
dreams.
