my brother

Ghosts of the Block Cruisin' down the avenue, shadows in my rearview, Back when we were young, livin’ like we’d never lose, We’d race down the street, laugh 'til the sun hit our backs, Memories echo, but now all I feel is the lack. Ghosts of the block, they haunt me at night, Brothers in arms, now they fade out of sight, We used to own this town, now it feels so cold, Chasin’ memories, but the stories unfold. Summer nights, we'd roll dice and play our fate, Sneakin' drinks from the fridge, thinkin’ we were so great, Sippin’ on that cheap stuff, under the stars' glow, Now the bottle’s all empty, just me and the flow. Ghosts of the block, they haunt me at night, Brothers in arms, now they fade out of sight, We used to own this town, now it feels so cold, Chasin’ memories, but the stories unfold. Remember that fight? You took a swing for me, Outnumbered, we stood like we were meant to be. Now the streets feel quiet, echoes of our sin, But I’m holding on tight, to every where we’ve been. Now I hit the corner store, see your face in the glass, Still hear your laughter, man, I wish it could last. Life moves on, but you’re here in my heart, A brotherhood in memory, we’ll never be apart. Ghosts of the block, they haunt me at night, Brothers in arms, now they fade out of sight, We used to own this town, now it feels so cold, Chasin’ memories, but the stories unfold. So here's to the nights, and the bonds that we made, Dancin’ with the ghosts, in the light and the shade. Though time may pass, I’ll carry you with me, Forever in my heart, you’re part of my history.
