Compass On My Chest

North, south

East, west

Every block

Same test (yeah)

I grew up where the map fold creased

Hand-me-down shoes, cracked concrete

Uncle from the north said “guard your name”

Cousin from the south said “play this game”

My homie out east ran fast from the sirens

Girl out west drew dreams on the islands

Four corners in my head like a compass

Every direction said “trust us”

North, south, east, west

I got the world on my chest (on my chest)

Wherever I step, I step with respect

Different roads, same breath in my neck

North, south, east, west

Raise that hand, beat your chest (hey!)

From the block to the rest, we connect

Every side, same fight, no neglect

North side nights taught cold decisions

South side sun gave bold visions

East side grind, up late in the kitchen

West side wind whispered “keep winning”

I’m a mix of the slang and the scars

Every hood story in these bars

If you feel lost, let the path unfold

Turn any dead end into solid gold

North, south, east, west

I got the world on my chest (world on my chest)

Wherever I step, I step with respect

Different roads, same breath in my neck

North, south, east, west

Raise that hand, beat your chest (yeah)

From the block to the rest, we connect

Every side, one stride, no neglect (no neglect)
