East Bay Reality [Intro]
Yeah… Antioch to Pittsburg
Shit get wild out here, no filters, no sleep
One voice hype, one voice hurt—both real
[Hook – Anthem / Chant] Pittsburg, Cali, back home is there Antioch ridin with me, middle fingers in the air Fuck Santa Rosa, fuck the rest too Boostin out the system, breakin chains like we do Crystal in the bong, torch hittin blue flame Pittsburg to Antioch, they gon’ remember the name Real ones stand tall, no fakes in my crew From the block to the tracks, it’s the life that we knew [Verse 1 – Anthem Energy] Boost packs in the bag, dippin outta Macy’s Life on the edge, East Bay raised me Police lurkin, we laughin, no fear Concrete jungle, real love ain’t here Jojo movin steady, show me how to slide Demons on my shoulder, but I’m down for the ride East Bay way, ain’t no fakin in the code Fuck the outside world, we was born in the mode [Hook – Pain / Story] I’m from Pittsburg, Cali, where the nights don’t end Antioch veins bleed, pain don’t pretend Fuck everywhere else, soul chained to the block Boostin just to breathe, prayin time gon’ stop Fetty on the foil, demons dancin in my head Crystal in the bong, numb the words I never said Lost love’s a ghost that I chase in the rain From Pittsburg to Antioch, real ones feel the pain [Verse 2 – Pain Energy] Cold nights under bridges, train tracks sing Burnt foil in my pocket, memories sting Jojo kept me steady when my hope turned black Respect every hustle when the world turn its back Momma on her knees, beggin God for my soul But the streets raised me, had my heart on hold Fake friends call me “bro” then snitch for a case Only real ones know how it feels in this place [Bridge – Dual Tone] [(Pain Voice)] Pittsburg nights, scars cutin deep [Verse 3 – Trail Shout-Out]
[Beat: Blend—anthem drums with soft piano chords underneath, so it feels tough but heartfelt] Shout out to my homeboys, homegirls on the trail, Brentwood to Antioch, grindin, never frail. Tents in the wind, but the spirit don’t break,
Hard nights in the cold, still the real ones awake.
Stay tough, y’all soldiers, this pain gon’ pass,
Keep your head to the sky, scars don’t last.
Every struggle that you walk, every tear that you shed, Pittsburg, Antioch—we still break bread.
Respect to the fighters who survive through the rain, Every step on that trail got a story of pain.
But the East Bay strong, we gon’ rise, that’s the way, Keep y’alls head up
[(Anthem Voice)] Concrete jungle, no fear, no sleep [Pain Voice] Demons circle, torch lightin the way [Anthem Voice] East Bay forever, till my dyin day [Final Hook – Fused Both] I’m from Pittsburg, Cali, back home is there Antioch ridin with me, middle fingers in the air Fuck everywhere else, still soul in the rain Boostin out the system just to cover the pain Crystal in the bong, torch hittin blue flame From the block to the tracks, they gon’ remember the name Luv’s a ghost I chase, scars etched in my veins Pittsburg to Antioch—two sides, one chain
