Outside

Intro (ad-libs)

Yeah, yeah, huh — we outside, ayy

Skies cold but we colder, hold up

Verse 1

Night on the block, my breath in the air, we steady movin'

Headlights blink, heartbeats sync, every corner proven

Homies got dreams but they tuck 'em in coats and hoodies

Talk soft, walk loud, loyalty real, ain't no movie

Phones on vibrate but we talk in lookaways

Remember cold nights when we prayed for better days

Now the city talkin', sayin' we different, sayin' we grown

But I still see the same faces when the wind blow

Pre-Chorus

Count the losses with the wins, watch the ledger blend

Smoke rise, stars wide, we keep steppin' again

No fear in our steps, just faith in the plan

When the world say wait, we say move with the band

Chorus (melodic)

We outside til dawn, we don't fold, we respond

Got the block on our back, but our souls stay strong

We outside til dawn, through the cold, through the fog

Hold my name in your mouth, then put me on that song

We outside, we ride, we gon' live what we write

Keep the circle tight, keep the truth in the light

Verse 2

She call my line laughin', say "Boy, you still wild"

I tell her it's growth, sometimes pain make you smile

Tattoos tell stories, ink like pages turned

Every mark, every scar, lessons burned and learned

Neighbors wave from stoops, kids racin' down the block

Used to count time by sirens, now we count tick-tock

But the hunger never leave, it's a whisper in bone

We plant seeds on the corner, watch 'em bloom of our own

Pre-Chorus

Hustle in the morning, prayer at midnight

Shot of hope in the cup, keep the vision in sight

We ain't runnin' from shadows, we dancin' with 'em instead

If you ride with the truth, then you ride 'til the end

Chorus (melodic)

We outside til dawn, we don't fold, we respond

Got the block on our back, but our souls stay strong

We outside til dawn, through the cold, through the fog

Hold my name in your mouth, then put me on that song

We outside, we ride, we gon' live what we write

Keep the circle tight, keep the truth in the light

Bridge (spoken/sung)

For the ones that we lost, we keep movin' — no silence

For the ones still here, we keep provin' our pilots

Every laugh, every fight, every night on the grind

Painted on our sleeves, yeah, memories that bind

Breakdown (beat drops, hushed)

Lights low, breath slow — feel the city hum

Hands locked, hearts locked — we don't run

This is ours, this is now — no rewind

We outside, forever — that's the sign

Chorus (final, bigger)

We outside til dawn, we don't fold, we respond

Got the block on our back, but our souls stay strong

We outside til dawn, through the cold, through the fog

Hold my name in your mouth, then put me on that song

We outside, we ride, we gon' live what we write

Keep the circle tight, keep the truth in the light

Outro (ad-libs, fading)

We outside — yeah, til dawn, yeah

Ayy, keep your head up, keep it movin'

We outside, we outside, huh

Porque music
