[Hook – Melodic / Catchy]
Demons all around, I can’t let ‘em win (win)
Lost souls on my block, where it all begin (begin)
Chains heavy, but the weight still on my skin (skin)
If I fall tonight, I’ll rise again (grrt, baow)
City lights glare, but the streets never sleep (sleep)
Ops talk slick, but the heat’s running deep (deep)
I keep my circle tight, only real I keep (keep)
Money, power, respect, that’s the code I reap (skrrt, baow)

[Verse 1 – Sleepy Hallow cadence]
Dark nights, I remember no food, no lights on
Now I flex heavy, keep the ice on
Enemies lurk, I stay ready if it’s on
Loyalty my code, fake friends be gone
Couple scars on my soul, stories untold
Mama prayed for me while the block stayed cold
From the trenches, where the nights got bold
Now I count bands, but the pain never sold (grrt, baow)

[Hook – Layered Vocals]
Demons all around, I can’t let ‘em win (win)
Lost souls on my block, where it all begin (begin)
Chains heavy, but the weight still on my skin (skin)
If I fall tonight, I’ll rise again (baow)
⸻
[Verse 2 – Eli Fross grit]
Mask up, I move silent when it’s dark (facts)
Ops plot, but I see every mark (skrrt)
.40 tucked, I protect my heart (baow)
Every night on the grind, that’s my art
Came from the bottom, streets molded my mind
Lost some dogs, but I keep ‘em alive
Pray for the fam, hope the real survive
From the mud to the top, I grind to thrive (grrt)
⸻
[Bridge – A Boogie style melodic pain]
Ohhh, it’s the life we chose…
Broken trust, every friend I lost…
Through the pain and the nights I rose…
All this weight on my back still shows…
⸻
[Verse 3 – Fivio/Pop Smoke energy]
Big drip on me when I step out the scene (scene)
Bad vibes on my line, they can’t intervene (nah)
Came from the block where we barely had dreams (dreams)
Now the pockets all fat, I stay on my regime
Can’t fold, I been stuck in these ways (my ways)
Lost homies, put the pain in my haze (the haze)
Life short, I been countin’ my days (days)
But I keep goin’ up, let ‘em hate, I amaze (skrrt, baow)
⸻
[Hook – Final]
Demons all around, I can’t let ‘em win (win)
Lost souls on my block, where it all begin (begin)
Chains heavy, but the weight still on my skin (skin)
If I fall tonight, I’ll rise again (grrt, baow)
City lights glare, but the streets never sleep (sleep)
Ops talk slick, but the heat’s running deep (deep)
I keep my circle tight, only real I keep (keep)
Money, power, respect, that’s the code I reap (skrrt, baow)
