Shots rang out, baby’s cryin’ in the night.

Bell Avenue’s silence, painted in red.

Roseland drive-by, another soul gone,
108th Street mourns at the break of dawn.

Shots fired, but no one erased.

The city’s heart heavy, searchin’ till dawn.

Northwest Side airbags, the next big steal.

But the city keeps pushin’ through the strife.
From the Loop to the South, the stories unfold,
In the Windy City, the streets stay cold.
