Compass On My Chest

[Intro]
North, south
East, west
Every block
Same test (yeah)
[Verse 1]
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”
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)

rap, Bounce-heavy hip-hop with a gritty boom-bap backbone, swung hats, and a rubbery bass line. Male vocals, conversational in the verses, then a chant-style hook with stacked gang vocals. Occasional record-stop drops into a half-time groove for emphasis, simple horn stabs on the turnarounds, and a final chorus that rides out with ad-libs and extra percussion fills., hip hop
