[Intro]
Brick dust on my tongue
Siren song in my lungs
Laugh tracks from the graveyard
Every night feels rerun
[Verse 1]
Chrome flash in the backpack
Tucked deep by the bus pass
Mom praying by the sink light
Pop gone, never came back
Lil bro on the front step
Counting shells like they Skittles
Tattoo tears in a lunch line
Whole class caught in the middle
Pull up, black mask, cracked dash
Heart beat to the kick, clash
He just wanted one quick stack
Now his name on a hood flag
[Chorus]
This that concrete halo
Rust crown, blood on my chain, yo
Whole block baptized in the smoke
Live fast, die young, that's the quote
This that concrete halo
Grind teeth, eyes red, still I go
Whole world treat us like a joke
But we built thrones out these broke roads
[Verse 2]
Shorty in the backroom, pill plate
Says she wanna feel less, not great
Only thing clean is her ashtray
Only thing real is the cash rate
Homie got a bed in a cellblock
Says he only trusts steel and a padlock
Bodies on his mind like a backdrop
Still brags bout the nights when the bag dropped
Porn tabs on a cracked screen
Hearts numb, but the thirst mean
Talk tough with a dry soul
Tryna fill the black hole, tag-team
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Ask me what I love?
I ain’t sure I know
Gun smoke, quick touch, fast drip, sick rush
We just chase one more
[spoken, close-mic]
One more fight, one more line
One more body, one more lie
We all swear we’ll quit in time
Til the reaper pull up, “you mine”
[Chorus]
