Intro
Cold nights, heater on my lap, city hummin' like a drum—
Pray for peace but the sirens sing the only song we know.
Verse 1
Came up from the corner where the lights never sleep,
Dreams tucked in a duffel, mama prayin' short and deep.
Enemies in polos, smiles that switch in a blink,
Fake love in abundance, real love on the sink.
Grew up where the lessons taught you how to duck and crawl,
Heard my brothers fall, seen the price of standing tall.
Ice on my wrist but the heart still feel the cold,
Loyalty on my sleeve, but these snakes chewin' bold.
Money come and go, but the pain stick like a scar,
Countin' losses in my head every time I see the car.
Nighttime conversations, whisper through the block,
Pray the next sunrise ain't another funeral shock.
Chorus
It's a war out here, bullets and the broken prayers,
It's a war out here, everybody lookin' at you sideways.
It's a war out here, tryna keep my peace through all the glare,
It's a war out here, mama cryin' on the line, say she scared.
Verse 2
Pockets heavy but the weight ain't just the cash,
Every step calculated, dodgin' past the crash.
Quiet in my house but my mind loud with the ghosts,
Names on my chain but some days I miss the most.
Opps on the corner, watchin' like they own the street,
Trust is currency, ain't cheap, it cost defeat.
Put my soul in melodies, pour pain into the beat,
Tryna feed my kin while I'm dodging every heat.
Streetlights flicker stories of the kids that used to play,
Now they older, colder, learnin' to survive each day.
Prayers at the table, fingers crossin' for the lost,
Every win got a cost, every coin got a frost.
Bridge
I see the skyline, but the view remind me where I'm from,
Concrete raised me up and the concrete turned my tongue.
I sing for the fallen, I sing for the moms who pray,
I sing for the ones who hope we change, find a way.
Chorus (reprise)
It's a war out here, bullets and the broken prayers,
It's a war out here, everybody lookin' at you sideways.
It's a war out here, tryna keep my peace through all the glare,
It's a war out here, mama cryin' on the line, say she scared.
Outro
Keep my head to the sky, keep my feet in the mud,
Chain heavy, heart heavier, blood thicker than the flood.
We march through the trenches, pray the valley see the light,
No peace on these blocks, but I still gon' fight.

See you when I see you
