[Verse]
City shadows, concrete jungle's anthem
Hustle on the block, watch the rhythm tandem
Brains on vacation, mouths run marathon
Talking big moves, but their chess game's gone
[Chorus]
This what we come from, streets full of echoes
Dodging dumb moves, wisdom like a gecko
Smart on the surface, deep in the hollow
They lead but can't think, ain't nothing to follow
[Verse 2]
Brain cells locked, keys lost in the alley
Climbing for the top, yet stuck in the valley
Talk sharp, but the mind stays blunt, no glow
Trying to paint Picasso, but the canvas says no
[Bridge]
We see 'em flex, hollow as a drum
All bark, no bite, and the truth don't come
Faking that game, but the board stays empty
We deal with the weight, 'cause the grind's never gently
[Chorus]
This what we come from, streets full of echoes
Dodging dumb moves, wisdom like a gecko
Smart on the surface, deep in the hollow
They lead but can't think, ain't nothing to follow
[Verse 3]
Stacks of dreams, but they counterfeit bills
Trying to run game, tripping over their heels
We see the act, curtains pulled on their play
We stay sharp, slicing through the cliché
