Lyrics
[Intro]
Late nights
Same block, same noise
Headphones
Only choice (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I was that quiet kid, posted by the corner store
Watching them dice roll, bodies on the floor
Uncles in that orange suit, letters through the glass
Mama say “that fast cash never really last”
They tried to hand me work, say “lil bro, get paid”
But I froze up, felt sick, palms weighed
Gang banging, slangin, it was never my lane
I just scribbled lil hooks, tryna outrun pain
[Chorus]
Can I make it out or should I just quit
Staring at the ceiling like “this can’t be it”
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, that’s the song I sang (yeah)
Can I make it out or should I just stay
Stuck in this cycle till I fade away
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, let the record hang (ooh)
[Verse 2]
Homie hit my line, said “slide, we on go”
Heart like a kick drum, echo in my throat
I was in my room though, looping that chord
Violin crying like it knew the score
Phone buzz, outside, sirens and smoke
Group chat quiet, whole hood broke
I pressed play, laid pain on the track instead
‘Cause another R.I.P. won’t get you ahead
[Chorus]
Can I make it out or should I just quit
Staring at the ceiling like “this can’t be it”
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, that’s the song I sang (song I sang)
Can I make it out or should I just stay
Stuck in this cycle till I fade away
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, let the record hang (yeah)
[Bridge]
What if I’m wrong
What if I fall
What if this voice
Don’t save me at all
But every time that sax cry low
I feel a way out the back door
If the street don’t clap, that’s fine
I’ll die tryna carve my own line (own line)
[Chorus]
Can I make it out or should I just quit
Staring at the ceiling like “this can’t be it”
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, that’s the song I sang
Can I make it out if I don’t look back
Bet my whole life on a one-take track
Gang banging and slangin wasn’t my thang
Music was all, music was all (yeah)

Style
rap, Hybrid hip hop / R&B / drill / pop crossover with a laid-back West Coast bounce. Male vocals glide in a Nate Dogg-inspired melodic flow on the hook; verses sit in a conversational rap pocket. Warm piano chords, hazy sax phrases, and a mournful violin answering key lines. Punchy drums and booming low end drive the groove; subtle effects on ad-libs. Hook widens with stacked harmonies and airy pads, then drops back to sparse keys and bass for the verses., violin, saxophone, pop, hip hop, r&b, drill
