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.
