em$en - streetlights & sacrifices lyrics

[intro]

yeah, this the road we runnin’ on, ain’t no u+turns
keep ya head up, though… gotta dream, or you drown

[verse 1]
ambition in my chest, hunger in my soul
paper dreams, dodgin’ traps, dodgin’ bullet holes
every corner got a lesson, every loss is a win
but it’s hard to see the light when the streetlights dim

tired of the nine+to+five, yeah, i’m chasin’ the bag
but the bag come with bodies, and the snakes in the grass
used to hustle for a dream, now i’m grindin’ for survival—
man, i’m tryin’ to build a future, but i’m stuck in the cycle

[pre+hook]
mama said the road to riches ain’t paved in gold
but the devil keep callin’, tryna buy my soul
i can’t let it slide, i been runnin’ out of time
dreams heavy on my mind, but i’m walkin’ the line

[hook]
streetlights and sacrifices, where we goin’? n0body knows
tryna fly with clipped wings, but we rise from the lows
streetlights and sacrifices, every move’s a roll of dice—
bet it all, burn the bridges, pay the price to reach the heights
[verse 2]
loyalty’s a myth—every friend could be a foe
and the closest ones you trust might switch up for the dough
the grind ain’t glamorous, and the wins feel rare
gotta hustle in the shadows just to shine out there

my circle got smaller, but my vision got bigger
had to learn quick that the love ain’t thicker
spent nights on the grind, just me and my pain
but i know that the sun gotta shine after rain

[bridge]
i was searchin’ for a light when the night got cold
lookin’ back on choices, wonderin’ what i sold
what if i took the safe road? what if i fell behind?
but nah, can’t stop now—gotta stay on the grind

[outro]
(streetlights fl!cker, faint voices talking in the distance)
yeah, every streetlight tells a story…
and every sacrifice leaves a scar
but we still pushin’. no matter how far
