Recording

Corner store static where the mercury

leaks We got the blueprints written

directly on these streets Cold concrete

beneath the worn out soles Watching

every single shadow playing their roles

No handouts, only what we went

and took Every single chapter written

straight out the book

This is for the block,

for the real ones left Every

single step like a life in

death Yeah,

we stand tall when the winter

gets cold This is pure truth,

I got another soul

We see the system tryna lock

up the gate But we just

build a ladder and negotiate with

fate From the pavement up,

never looking back down Heavy is

the head that's inheriting the crown

Keep your eyes wide open,

never sleep on the climb Paying

all our dues just a matter

of time
