Hook:
I follow code, never fold, that's the street script (yeah)
Lost some brothers on the way, still I keep that leash tight (keep it tight)
Mama prayin' every night, tryna keep my peace right (peace right)
I move with silence, move with love, move with street light (street light)
Verse 1:
Came up where the winters froze the feelings in our bones
Counted prayers like dollar signs, tryna get some change for home
You don't know the cost of loyalty 'til you watch a funeral phone
Sign your name on hearts and graves, now I wear it like a stone
They tell me switch, they tell me fold, they whisper talkin' loud
But we was taught to stay aligned — keep the circle, keep it round
Seen the snakes sneak in suits, seen the vultures at the crowd
So I keep my head low, windows tinted when I ride out
Pre-hook:
I been make mistakes, yeah, I paid for lessons with my nights
Cold conversations in the dark, tryna do what’s right
If love was ammunition, I would've shot for daylight
But code keep me steady when the city lose its light
Hook:
I follow code, never fold, that's the street script (never fold)
Lost some brothers on the way, still I keep that leash tight (way too tight)
Mama prayin' every night, tryna keep my peace right (keep it prayed up)
I move with silence, move with love, move with street light (move wise)
Verse 2:
Nobody taught me how to grieve, we bury feelings with the heat
Cold metal in the alley, cold words in the streets
I got pictures in my phone of better days and better eats
But the ledger's got me owing nights to people I don't meet
Trust is currency — don't spend it on the fake and loud
We was raised to hold it down, don't sell the code for clout
When the law be askin' questions, loyalty the only route
We keep quiet, keep it brief, let the heartbeat do the shout
Bridge:
Sometimes I dream I'm free, no sirens, no alarms (no alarms)
Just mama in the kitchen and the kids with open arms (open arms)
But dreams get cut by reality's sharp charm (sharp charm)
So I move like chess, move the rook to guard the farm
Hook:
I follow code, never fold, that's the street script (that's the code)
Lost some brothers on the way, still I keep that leash tight (I keep it tight)
Mama prayin' every night, tryna keep my peace right (yeah)
I move with silence, move with love, move with street light (silent moves)
Verse 3:
Fame came whisperin', tried to change the rules we made
Money talk, faces switch — some souls they start to fade
I remind myself the thin line between savin' and a trade
If they cross that line they ain't my fam, they just a charade
I show love to the ones who stood when thunder hit the block
Real ones get a spot forever, fake ones get forgot
Every scar a testimony of the times we paid the cost
But every lesson that we learned came stamped inside the cross
Outro:
I keep the code
Porque music
See you when I see you
