unchecked

It was 2 in the morning, we was posted on the ave, Streetlight flicker, everybody moving fast. Bro said chill but the tension felt wrong, Whole block quiet but the night too long. Heard a car slow roll right past the store, Same black hoodie that I seen before. Heart start racing, everybody on alert, In my city you survive or you end up on a shirt. I put the guns down and put the guns up unchecked I shot ur boy now he sound like donald duck Sirens in the back but the night still stuck, Whole hood quiet when the bass line knock. Everybody watching when the tension get rough, Turned cold nights into diamonds and stuff. Now I'm thinking back to the days on the block, Used to skip school just to chill by the shop. Old heads told me keep my head on straight, But the streets move fast and they never gonna wait. Seen friends switch sides over money and pride, Same dudes eating with you yesterday night. Now the fame coming in and the lights get bright, But the past still creeping when I close my eyes. From the corner to the stage I remember them days, Cold wind blowing through the alleyway haze. If you know then you know how the story get told, Every scar on my heart turned the boy to a ghost. I put the guns down and put the guns up unchecked I shot ur boy now he sound like donald duck Sirens in the back but the night still stuck, Whole hood quiet when the bass line knock. Everybody watching when the tension get rough, Turned cold nights into diamonds and stuff. Yeah… Every block got a story, every scar got a name. Some made it out, some stuck in the game. Just another night that the city can’t forget… Still movin
