Empty seats

Intro (soft ad-libs)

Yeah… ayy, ah

I still hear ’em when the city sleep

Chorus

Homies gone, empty seats at the table, feel the cold breeze,

Late nights, I pray for peace, pour up, play back memories.

Streets whisper their names, I carry ’em where I step,

Empty seats but I move like they still watchin’ every rep.

Verse 1

Used to laugh up on the stoop, now the stoop echo different,

Phone filled with old voicemails, replayed like a shipment.

Mama callin’ for support, I tell her don’t lose faith,

Took my pain, turned it to a promise I can’t break.

They taught me how to hustle, how to keep my circle tight,

How to stand when they gone, how to fight through the night.

I catch myself talkin’ to the sky on the rooftop,

Telling God save the rest, tell the angels watch the block.

No flashbacks of glory, just a lesson and a scar,

I stitch my heart to purpose — turn their light into my star.

Chorus

Homies gone, empty seats at the table, feel the cold breeze,

Late nights, I pray for peace, pour up, play back memories.

Streets whisper their names, I carry ’em where I step,

Empty seats but I move like they still watchin’ every rep.

Verse 2

I see kids playin’ where we used to hustle, innocent and loud,

I promised I’d protect ’em — give their moms a reason proud.

No more quick smiles for clout, I build somethin’ with these hands,

Foundations from the losses, now I’m runnin’ different plans.

They taught me loyalty over paper, love over the fame,

I keep their stories livin’, put their wisdom in my name.

Tunnel vision on my grind, but my heart still sways,

Every siren got me thinkin’ ’bout the price we paid.

I ain’t askin’ for revenge, just justice in the mirror,

I change the streets from within — legacy getting clearer.

Bridge (spoken, gentle)

I float with no anchor but I got roots runnin’ deep,

Every lesson, every funeral — a promise I will keep.

When the nights get colder and the city lose its glow,

I light candles with my verses so the little ones can grow.

Chorus (outro build)

Homies gone, empty seats at the table, feel the cold breeze,

Late nights, I pray for peace, pour up, play back memories.

Streets whisper their names, I carry ’em where I step,

Empty seats but I move like they still watchin’ every rep.

Outro (ad-libs, fading)

Yeah… keep shinin’, watch us grow

For the ones that gone — we rise, we go

Empty seats, full hearts — we forever hold.

Porque music

See you when I see you
