[Verse]
Concrete jungle, shadows in the mist,
Where the sun dips low, and the shots don't miss.
Hustlers on the block, dreams in their fists,
Chains heavy, but the weight ain’t bliss.
Kids play tag with a ghost of a past,
Streetlights flicker, futures fade fast.
Corner store sermons, preachers with a flask,
Questions in the smoke, no answers to ask.
[Chorus]
O Block breathes, the stories don’t stop,
Heartbeats echo, tickin' like a clock.
Born in the struggle, rise to the top,
O Block sings, the grind don’t flop.
[Verse 2]
Graffiti on the walls, hieroglyphs of pain,
Tales of the fallen, etched in the rain.
Dice hit the pavement, gambling for change,
Tomorrow ain't promised, the rules rearrange.
OGs whisper, lessons in the wind,
Loyalty tested, bloodlines thin.
The block’s alive, got a devilish grin,
You either play to survive, or the block’ll win.
[Bridge]
Helicopters hum like a twisted lullaby,
Sirens serenade under charcoal skies.
Hopes ride low, but dreams still fly,
Even in the darkness, we aim for the high.
