[Intro: Star Nunes]
(Yeah, ayy, Metro!)
I ain't even wanna talk about this shit, but fuck it
(We still outside though)
Shit gets dark, real quick
(Boom! Boom!)
Ayy, listen...

[Chorus: Aliah Sky]
Blood on your hands but your heart still golden
Life ain’t fair, and the streets don't hold ya
Tried to love, but the pain just froze ya
You a soldier, no one told ya
Buried your past and your soul in silence
Now you move with the heat like violence
Got scars, but you wear 'em like diamonds
Cursed and blessed, that’s the price of defiance

[Verse 1: Star Nunes]
Look, I came out the trenches, no guidancе, just pain
Lost bro to the streets, now his face in a chain
I was stuck in the mud, I was brokе in the rain (Drenched!)
With a burner on me, walkin' straight through the flame (Brrrah!)
Ain't nobody give me shit — not a crumb, not a prayer
So I kicked in the doors, gave a fuck who was there (Boom!)
Now they all wanna reach, but was gone when I needed
So I ghosted they ass like a demon (Frrrrrt!)
Had a Glock in my backpack, school was a warzone
I was poppin' them perks just to feel like my core gone (Numb!)
Got snaked by my homie, I'm done bein' cordial
Bitch, I'm cold to the heart like my chest in a snowstorm
I seen mama cry tears over bills
So I picked up the steel, I ain't ask how it feel
Now it’s VVS dreams, I’m just tryna stay real
But I swear every win come with more shit to kill (Damn!)
[Chorus: Aliah Sky & Star Nunes (ad-libs)]
Blood on your hands but your heart still golden (Heart froze)
Life ain't fair, and the streets don’t hold ya (They don't!)
Tried to love, but the pain just froze ya (Fuck love)
You a soldier, no one told ya
Buried your past and your soul in silence (Buried)
Now you move with the heat like violence (Clutchin')
Got scars, but you wear 'em like diamonds (Shinin’)
Cursed and blessed, that's the price of defiance (Boom!)

[Verse 2: Star Nunes]
All this fame shit fake, I see snakes in Dior
If I say “no” once, they gon' say I'm a whore
Had my cousin try rob me, that shit cut to the core (What?!)
Now it's Glock in my hand when I open the door (Grrrah!)
They was laughin' when I had no hope
Now they beggin' me for a quote
I was knee-deep in the smoke
Tryna jug food just to keep on the coat (Freezin')
Now I'm up, now I'm lit, now I'm everything they hate
I don't move with the fake, I put pain in the plate
They ain't help, so I kept the .38 in the crate (Pop!)
Bitch, I'm cursed and I'm blessed, that's the price of this weight (Facts!)
I been loyal, I been solid
Put that on my name and the graves that I polished
You don't know about loss till your homie start rottin'
But I gotta keep movin' — no brakes, just problems (Skrrt!)
[Chorus: Aliah Sky & Star Nunes (ad-libs)]
Blood on your hands but your heart still golden (Golden)
Life ain't fair, and the streets don't hold ya (Never did)
Tried to love, but the pain just froze ya (Pain deep)
You a soldier, no one told ya (Ain't nobody say shit)
Buried your past and your soul in silence
Now you move with the heat like violence (Frrrrt!)
Got scars, but you wear 'em like diamonds (Yeah)
Cursed and blessed, that's the price of defiance (Bitch!)

[Outro: Aliah Sky]
Cursed and blessed…
They never saw the fire behind the smoke
Only the shine… never the burn
