STFF

[Verse]
Block lit, shadow heavy, dreams in the gutter
Granny prayed daily, kept bread with the butter
Streets like a blender, spins souls in the mix
Youngin’ lost his pops, now he talkin' with fists
Mirror cracked, reflection ain’t true no more
Bodega lights hum, same tune as the war
Knots in my pocket, they ain’t money, just stress
Graffiti screams loud, but the pain stay suppressed
[Chorus]
Stay tuned for the fall, STFF
Life on the edge, hold your breath
Stack the bricks, they collapse on the test
Shadows stretch long, streets confess
[Verse 2]
Dawn ain’t promise, moon be the witness
Cigarette tips glow red like forgiveness
Rats in the alley, they feast where we fail
Truth in the smoke, lies float like a sail
OG on the stoop, says, “Son, don’t repeat
The cycle we spin, it’s just death on repeat”
Siren lullabies, babies rock in the crib
Hope got a flatline, heart lost its grip
[Bridge]
Echoes of the block sing in minor chords
Broken glass, same song, always discord
Shoelace tight, but the soul untied
Every door locked, but the devil inside
