Laughter And Tears
Oscar Auliq-Ice
Walking down the streets, feeling the heat
Every corner a different beat
Noisy cars, falling stars
The pavement tells stories of wars
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
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
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
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
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
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
