Blockbound

Intro

(Yeah, woo)

Streets talkin’, I listen

Chorus

Stuck in these streets, blockbound, can’t sleep (nah)

Pavement on my pulse, heartbeat got me weak (woo)

Dreams on the doorstep, mama tryna speak (say less)

But the night keep callin’, I’m stuck in these streets

Verse 1

Clock ticks, corner lit, I move like a shadow (move)

Change pockets heavy from the hustle and the narrow (heavy)

Used to play in the stoop, now the stoop got a ledger (facts)

Counting every promise turned to pieces in the weather

Sirens sing lullabies, neon cross my face (face)

I’m tryna chart a way off but the block got a embrace (holdin’)

Homies on the bench, eyes cold like January (cold)

We trade stories for a dollar and a cigarette for bravery

Mama prayin’ on the phone, sayin’ “Boy come home” (please)

But the streets got roots deeper than the place I was grown (roots)

I’m tryna flip the script, hustle quiet, move clean (clean)

But the past pullin’ at my sleeve like it’s on some old routine

Chorus

Stuck in these streets, blockbound, can’t sleep (no sleep)

Pavement on my pulse, heartbeat got me weak (weak)

Dreams on the doorstep, mama tryna speak (speak)

But the night keep callin’, I’m stuck in these streets (stuck)

Verse 2

Late night, stoop math, count the losses and the wins (wins)

Friends change like seasons — loyalty thins (thins)

I seen snakes in hoodies smile with a knife grin (watch)

They whisper opportunities that start with a lie, then sin

Used to want it all — art, riches, some respect (respect)

Now I trade morals for survival, that’s the disconnect (cost)

But every time I close my eyes I picture different skies (different)

Penthouse windows, no more lookin’ through these disguise

I don’t glorify the pain, I narrate where I’m from (where I’m from)

Every corner got a story, every story got a drum (boom)

If I make it out, I got names to bring with me (bring 'em)

If I don’t, let the verse be proof that we still hungry

Bridge

Blockbound, but my mind fly (fly)

Tryna cut these chains, find a different high (find it)

Money whisperin’, love gettin’ thin (thin)

But I’m keepin’ faith — that’s how you fight the wind (fight)

Chorus (variation)

Stuck in these streets, blockbound, can’t sleep (can’t sleep)

Pavement on my pulse, heartbeat got me weak (weak)

Promise to my people, one day we gon’ leave (we gon’ leave)

Til then we grind in the dark, stuck in these streets

Outro

(Yeah) Foot on the concrete, eyes on the skyline (skyline)

One day we cross it over, one day we gon’ shine (shine)

Till then I write the nights, breathe the block in my beats

Prayin’ for sunrise while I’m stuck in these streets (woo)

Porque music

See you when I see you
