[Intro]
Yeah
Dedan
Uh
Look
[Verse 1]
Youngin on the corner, hoodie tight, face cold
Dedan got a stare make a big man fold
Seen too much talk, not enough heart shown
He the last one standin when the block go stone
Walked through the rain with the shoes all split
Food stamps, rent late, still ain’t quit
Homies turned ghosts when the beef hit quick
Dedan stayed solid, never ran from it
[Chorus]
Dedan don’t fold, he just ride
Pressure on his back, but he slide
Heart too hard, you can see it in his eyes
Whole hood know he survived
Dedan don’t fold, he just ride
Storms in his head, but he drive
You can feel the pain every stride
Dedan, Dedan, he survived
[Verse 2]
He was 13, saw the first body drop
Sirens on repeat, but the time don’t stop
Mama work late, lil bro need guap
So he got it out the mud, turned nothin to a lot
Opps want smoke, he ain’t chattin online
He just move low-key, always watchin the time
Trust real small, can’t play both sides
If you say you with Dedan, better really gon’ ride
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Talk tough? He done lived that script
Scars on his knuckles, blood on his kicks
Tears in the night that nobody else picked
Still he stand tall, never once jump ship
[Chorus]
