Corner Code

I learned the lane from the curb

Not from a book

Watch how they smile in your face

Then they look

Know who gon' borrow your shine

Who gon' cook

Who got a story too clean

That don't stick

Seen a lotta loudmouth kings

Fold quick

Seen a whole crew move weird

Then switch

Money talk small in the room

Still rich

Fakes love clout till the bill come

Then dip

I keep one eye on the move

One on the room

Never too high off the praise

Or the fumes

If it come sweet, I move slow

Read the tune

Street knowledge first

Then I bloom

Yeah, I can tell

By the shoes

Yeah, I can tell

By the mood

One false step

And they lose

One clean read

And I choose

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

I see through it

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

I move smart

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

Keep it cold here

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

Stay sharp

Never say too much on the phone

Keep it brief

Every closed door got a crack

Every chief

Talk is a net if you chat

Then they peep

Loose lips love to make a home

In your sleep

I seen a whole lotta pride

Turn thin

Seen a lotta real ones fall

From within

If it feel like a win too fast

That’s a spin

If the math don't match

Don't grin

I don't chase every little flame

I let it pass

I don't trust every new face

On the glass

Big lessons live in the pause

In the glass

Learn the code, read the room

Then last

Yeah, I can tell

By the shoes

Yeah, I can tell

By the mood

One false step

And they lose

One clean read

And I choose

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

I see through it

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

I move smart

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

Keep it cold here

Street knowledge

Street knowledge

Stay sharp

Now I step like I seen the plot

From the start

Every friend ain't a friend

That's the hard part

Every yes ain't a yes

Hold your heart

Every lesson got a scar

Told apart

So I move with the code in my chest

In my mind

Keep the loud for the win

Not the blind

If you want what I got

Learn the signs

Street knowledge

That's how I climb
