[Verse 1]
Cold lane pressure, I walk with a stare
Loose lips sink fast, so I move with care
Same old corners, same old risk
One wrong look and the whole place twists
Fresh on the scene, but I’m not brand new
I seen boys fold when the sirens blew
Came from the block where the night stays tense
Every chain-link fence got a side and a sense
Bro said run, I said hold that
Too much noise when the phone got hacked
Hands too quick, no peace, no rest
One eye open when I’m out west
[Verse 2]
Hear that skrrt, then the room goes still
Boots on the stairs and a bad boy chill
Talk get thin when the smoke rolls in
Everybody brave till the lights go dim
I don’t need friends when I’m out on ride
Just a blacked-out face and a low-beat stride
Man say chat, but the mouth too loose
Then they switch off quick when the truth cuts through
Night got weight, and the block got scars
Young boys speed like they know the charge
I seen pride turn face to dust
So I keep mine hard and I keep mine tucked
[Bridge]
Let the bassline creep
Let the whole place freeze
One more move, one more sign
Then the air go tight like a wire line
[Verse 3]
Now it’s back to the block where the cold wind bite
Same old stress, same old fight
If I speak too much, I might say less
So I let that look do the heavy press
No clean hands where I came from, bruv
Just mud on the soles and a chip on the glove
If it gets hot, I’m gone in a blink
Never seen peace, so I move and think
They want hype, I give straight fear
No wide grin, no wasted cheer
Only the pulse and the pressure stay
And the dark keep talking till the break of day
