Hood Legends Rising

Yeah

From the pavement to the sky,

you know how we do it

Keep your head up on the corner

Streetlights flickering over the cold concrete We keep our eyes wide,

scanning the empty street No handouts given,

everything earned in blood

Rising up slowly from the depth of the mud (yeah)

This is the block where we learned to survive

Staying awake just to keep it alive Through the storm and the

pouring rain (hahaha) We bear the weight,

we carry the pain

Watch the shadows move,

don't trust a single soul In this concrete cage,

power is the only goal They talk a big game but they

fold under heat

While we stand tall,

never tasting defeat

We came from nothing,

made it to the throne

Built this empire all on our own

(unh) No turning back now

This is the block where we learned to survive

Staying awake just to keep it alive

Through the storm and the pouring rain (yeah)

We bear the weight,

we carry the pain

Yeah

Locked in forever

No retreat,

no surrender

We built this from the dust (shhh)
