Descrição
A faixa "Angels In The Sky" de Polo G oferece um retrato cru e comovente da vida nas ruas, mergulhada em perda e violência. A música explora a complexidade de sobreviver em um ambiente onde a morte é uma constante e a confiança é rara. Através de memórias dolorosas de amigos perdidos e a necessidade de se proteger, a faixa transmite uma profunda sensação de desespero e a luta interna entre endurecer e sucumbir à dor. O artista articula o fardo emocional de suas experiências, a dificuldade de expressar sentimentos verdadeiros e a presença constante do perigo. Apesar do cenário sombrio, a menção a "anjos no céu" sugere um vislumbre de fé ou esperança, um contraponto à implacável realidade da rua, onde cada dia é uma batalha pela sobrevivência e pela chance de escapar de um ciclo vicioso.
Letra
One life, you get one chance
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan
Huh, I know when to speak after silence
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends (uh, uh)
Gotta pray over your kids because it's dangerous in the Chi'
Walkin' slow up to that casket, tears rainin' from his eyes
Homies left forever, I ain't get to wave and say goodbye
Hard-bodied and we gangstas, but that pain done made us cry (cry)
Used to wake up so fucked up
Like I can't wait until I die ('til I die)
To the point that I feel like I ain't myself if I ain't high
Now I'm foreign whippin', thinkin'
'bout new chains that I can buy
Devil breathin' down my neck
But I got angels in the sky (sky)
And I can't reveal the way I really feel, it's hard to try
Heard the opps, they want me dead
Because I'm dissin', tellin' lies
Feelin' mutual, stuff bullets in that SIG and let it fly
Execute him, headshot
Knock his brains up out his eye (up out his eye)
One life, you get one chance
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan
Huh, I know when to speak after silence
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends
Lookin' through my memories
I never thought that you would leave forever
Since 2014, been Gucci Gang, gon' throw up Ts forever
Playin' basketball, me and Ed had hoop dreams together
Jasmine block party
Me and three was out there T'd together
Me and Duck was trappin' early mornin', servin' fiends together
Spent my last on weed, me and lil' Dee sippin' lean together
Moo, he love pipes, smilin' 'cause he got a clean Beretta
Yeah, the gang scored up in that field, we got some rings together
Ballin' like Tim Duncan, win or lose, I'm with my team forever
Got the same scars, we took 'em Ls on Evergreen together
Never understood my point of view because I seen it better
I couldn't be right back in that cell, stressin', readin' letters
Nina and my Wesson like a duet, they gon' sing together
Like to slide at night, put that .40 and that beam together
Homicide, you feel your soul shakin' when 'em demons catch you
Shit bag, put him on that machine until he breathin' better
One life, you get one chance
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan
