It was a Friday night, I was off by myself Store closed at 10, had some time on the shelf I grabbed me a sandwich, was walkin’ back home Cut through the alley, cause it’s faster alone About halfway through, I heard footsteps behind Didn’t turn around, just picked up my pace in my mind Then a voice from the dark said “yo, hold it right there” I stopped where I stood, and I put up my hands He stepped in the light - it was a kid I once knew From middle school days, we used to play 2K Now he got a mask on and a glock in his palm Said “empty your pockets, don’t make this go wrong” I looked at him close and I said “man, that’s you?” He hesitated a sec, then his whole face went blue Cause right behind him, two shadows appeared And they wasn’t here for me - they was here for him, see Now I’m standin’ there quiet, don’t know what to do Watch a situation switch on me too It was a Friday night, I was off by myself, Chillin' in the city, yeah, I'm feelin' the wealth, Neon lights flashin', got my mind in a zone, Lost in the rhythm, but I’m never alone. Street vendors callin', smell the food in the air, Got my headphones on, music takin' me there, Thoughts runnin' deep, like the beats in my chest, Life’s a wild ride, gotta give it my best. Skatin' down the boulevard, wind in my face, Every step I take, man, I'm settin' the pace, People passin' by, but I’m lost in my dream, Chasin' the vibe, like a river, I stream. Stars up above, yeah, they shine so bright, In this concrete jungle, I’m ready for the night, With every heartbeat, I’m alive in the flow, A solo mission, but I’m ready to glow.
