Laughter and Tears

Verse 1:
Walking down the streets, feeling the heat
Every corner a different beat
Noisy cars, falling stars
The pavement tells stories of wars
Chorus:
Cops and robbers, snitches and gangsters
The streets speak loud, but no one listens
Laughter and tears, fears and cheers
Always a party, never enough beers
Verse 2:
The boys in blue, they don't have a clue
Ruling with fists, forgetting who pays their dues
Corruption, extortion, power and greed
The law is a joke, just a sign, indeed
Chorus:
Cops and robbers, snitches and gangsters
The streets speak loud, but no one listens
Laughter and tears, fears and cheers
Always a party, never enough beers
Verse 3:
Those who snitch, pay the price
No code of honor, no heart, no spice
Whispers and secrets, knives in the dark
Broken trust, a life left with a mark
Chorus:
Cops and robbers, snitches and gangsters
The streets speak loud, but no one listens
Laughter and tears, fears and cheers
Always a party, never enough beers
Outro:
The streets are a jungle, a mirror of our souls
We fight for power, for love, for control
Take a walk, take a ride, take a breath
The streets are alive, just be careful, don't test.
