[Verse]
Pen sharp, cuttin’ paper, origami folds
Pockets heavy, but my dreams weighin’ gold
Corner store prophet, spit wisdom in the cold
Heart froze, still cookin’ truth on the stove
Memory lane got potholes, dodgin’ ghosts
Streetlights flicker, shadows do the most
Hunger pangs louder than a subway toast
But the grind never stops, man, that's the oath
[Chorus]
Mic check, one two, can you feel me now?
Words hit harder than a thundercloud
Mic check, one two, I’mma make it loud
Echo through the streets, I wear it proud
[Verse 2]
Concrete jungle, vines wrapped ‘round my kicks
Dodgin' snakes in the grass, hear the hiss and the click
Every block got a story, some tragic, some slick
Paint the picture with my words, make the moment stick
Breathin’ in the city air, it’s gritty but sweet
Drums bang like my heartbeat, no defeat
Turn pain into poetry, fuel the heat
Turn tables spin the struggle, keep it on repeat
[Chorus]
Mic check, one two, can you feel me now?
Words hit harder than a thundercloud
Mic check, one two, I’mma make it loud
Echo through the streets, I wear it proud
