Yeah…
Yeah… Late night, street lights flicker on the corner Whole city quiet but the block still warmer Verse 1 It was midnight on the ave, cold wind through the trees Hoodie pulled low, got the weight of the streets Old heads on the steps saying life move fast Young boys chasing legends that ain’t built to last I seen Jay by the store, pacing back and forth Said he heard some talk ’bout a line being crossed Phone buzzing in his hand, eyes sharp in the dark Whole night felt heavy like a storm ’bout to spark Couple cars rolled slow, no music, just tires Everybody on edge like a line full of wires He said, “Bro, keep moving, tonight feel strange” When the silence get loud, that’s when things start to change Hook Sirens in the distance, shadows in the light Everybody got a story on a long dark night Dreams in their head but the streets hold tight Tryna make it out the maze, tryna make it out right Sirens in the distance, hearts beating fast Some chasing the future, some running from the past Every choice matter when you living that life One step wrong turn a short road to a fight Verse 2 Couple blocks down where the old train pass We grew up playing ball on the cracked-up grass Now them same friends split ways in the game Some chasing respect, some just chasing a name Jay said, “Man, listen, we was kids not long Now everybody acting like they gotta be strong” Streetlights buzzing while the wind blew cold Truth hit hard when the night get old Then headlights flash from the end of the street Whole block froze for a moment, heartbeat Nobody spoke but the tension was loud Like thunder rolling heavy through a restless crowd Hook Sirens in the distance, shadows in the light Everybody got a story on a long dark night Dreams in their head but the streets hold tight Tryna make it out the maze, tryna make it out right Outro Morning sun rising, block quiet again Some still trapped in the cycle they in Same old streets but a lesson gets shown— Every king in the dark still gotta find home.
