[Intro]
Kenji and Xan
Backseat, black van
Whole block know
How the bloodlines ran (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Kenji had scars
Before he had cards
Xan had a mask
Before he had bars
Same grandma kitchen
Countin’ coupons, wishin’
Now it’s duffel bags stuffin’
Every zip, new addition
First flip out a Civic
Parked crooked by the clinic
Twelve roll past
Heart beat, don’t mimic
Late nights on the corner
One phone, one burner
Cousins say “we all we got”
Made a pact, no returnin’
[Chorus]
Kenji and Xan, two kids, one plan (one plan)
From the floor of that crib to a hundred grand
Same blood, same hood, whole life in they hands
Either die on this block or go buy the land
Kenji and Xan, code tight as a band (so tight)
Every move, every lick, done hand in hand
From the smoke, from the sirens, they still stand
Kenji and Xan, Kenji and Xan
[Verse 2]
Shootout at the corner store
Glass rain on the tile floor
Kenji duck, Xan fire back
Whole week they on high alert
Mama prayin’ in her house shoes
Phone ring, think she ’bout to lose
Two boys that she fed off scraps
Now they headline neighborhood news
Black hoodie, black truck, ride slow
Million in the safe at the condo
Still flinch when a car hit a pothole
Old ghosts in the rearview, follow
But the bands keep buildin’ like a high-rise
New chain just a bandage on the hard times
Throw cash at the pain, but it don’t dry
Hear the cousins in the dark say “we alright”
[Chorus]
Kenji and Xan, two kids, one plan (one plan)
From the floor of that crib to a hundred grand
Same blood, same hood, whole life in they hands
Either die on this block or go buy the land
Kenji and Xan, code tight as a band (so tight)
Every move, every lick, done hand in hand
From the smoke, from the sirens, they still stand
Kenji and Xan, Kenji and Xan
[Bridge]
Whole city talk, but they don’t know pain (they don’t)
How it feel see your blood layin’ out in the rain
How it feel count a mil, still feelin’ the same
Two cousins, one name
Carved deep in the grain
[Chorus]
Kenji and Xan, two kids, one plan (one plan)
From the floor of that crib to a hundred grand
Same blood, same hood, whole life in they hands
Either die on this block or go buy the land
Kenji and Xan, code tight as a band (so tight)
Every move, every lick, done hand in hand
From the smoke, from the sirens, they still stand
Kenji and Xan, Kenji and Xan
