Code of the Streets

Yeah, we came from the struggle, yeah, we came from the bottom

Stories in our eyes, tales that ain’t never been told

Thugging with my crew, talking robberies and homicide

Fighting for my life, yeah, I’m tryna stay alive

Been the realest I can put that on my soul

This ain’t just rap, it’s the pain that I hold

Heart on my sleeve, I survived the trenches

Got ptsd from Memories of sliding back to back, tryna run that score we keep

Street soldier forever, never fold, never sell out

Living by the code, that’s what we’re about

Never ducking no smoke, we face it head-on

From dusk till dawn, till the break of dawn

Trust is rare, but I keep my circle tight

In this life, we risk it all, gotta do what’s right

Thugging with my crew, we rise above the pain

Fighting through the rain, never gonna change

Hearts made of steel, soul full of fire

In these streets, we aim higher and higher

Remember days sliding back to back

Trying to run it up, never looking back

This is real street shit, no pretending

Stay true to the code, ‘til the very end

Never fold, never sell our soul

In the trenches, we are bold

Living by the code, that’s our role

Thug life till we reach our goal
