[Verse]
Back to the block where my sneakers first creased,
Corner store's gone, now it’s artisan yeast.
Graffiti whispers, still talkin’ that slang,
Streetlights hum, same buzz in their gang.
Brick walls cracked, they’re holdin’ their scars,
But the sky still glows with the same old stars.
Kids on the curb, new bikes, same spins,
Same smell of regret in the midnight winds.
[Prechorus]
Familiar faces, but they ghostin’ my name,
The block got older, but the vibe’s the same.
[Chorus]
Back to the block, where the echoes don't fade,
Same pinger party, same drugs on parade.
Lights flash fast, and the bassline stays,
But the faces, the faces, they’ve all been replaced.
[Verse 2]
Concrete jungle, it’s sprouted new trees,
Luxury lofts where we once scraped knees.
The liquor store sign flickers out Morse code,
Tales of old nights on a two-lane road.
Memory lane’s got potholes and weeds,
The good, the bad, all sewn in the seams.
Same alley where dreams were passed in a hand,
Still whisperin’ secrets, but they don’t understand.
