[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Sun up
Same block, same run
Palm trees lean like they drunk
Whole hood hum in my lungs
[Verse 1]
Slide through
Old school, chrome grin, sky blue
Little homies on the curb like, "Me too"
Bag on my lap and it's way past due
Mom prayin', I was out past four
Whole life sittin' on that front porch
Now I sign names on the back of the store
Turn that stress into marble floors
Tats on my hand, but my hands clean
Used to stash work in my damn jeans
Now my face on the flat screen
Still hear sirens in my bad dreams
[Chorus]
Westside daydreams, still don’t sleep
Turn that pain into gold on me
From the concrete, we grow, we breathe
Put it in the air, let the whole block see
Westside daydreams, ride all night
Every scar that I got, still shine
If they hate on the boy, that’s fine
Whole crew go up when it’s time
[Verse 2]
Two phones
Plug talk, one ring, I’m gone
Got a good girl singin' my songs
Got a side hustle paid off wrongs
Big plates
Mama house smell like grace
Couple shooters that don’t show face
Couple lawyers that beat those cases
OG said, "Lil homie, be smart"
"Keep your circle like your heart"
Tight, but you still leave marks
Every loss put gas in the car
Seen friends turn ghost in a week
Seen love turn cold on the seat
But the rims still roll, no sleep
Every bruise put bass in the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, if you made it from the curb
Hands up, if you ever hit the dirt
Hands up, if you turnt all that hurt
Into something they can’t reverse
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
I remember ramen in the pot
Now the chef flame kiss what I got
I remember duckin' every cop
Now they wave when I roll past the spot
[out loud]
Same kid, just a different shine
Same risk, but a different grind
If I fall, I’ma land on mine
Heart still hard, but the soul aligned
[Chorus]
