Burner by my side

Hook (Chorus)

Burner on my hip, keep it quiet when night slide,

cold metal heartbeat, city lights and ride or die.

Burner on my hip, mama prayin' I survive,

every step I take, every move, keep my fam alive.

Verse 1

Pocket full of ash, phone on silent, mind racin',

block talk cheap, snakes move slick, no chasin'.

Foot on the pavement, hood taught me how to breathe,

less talk, more watch — learn to read between the leaves.

Seen brothers turn to ghosts, names fade in the wind,

promises like glass, they break before they mend.

I keep my circle small, trust earned in drip and time,

burner by my side, comfort in this cold design.

Pre-Chorus

Night foldin' like a map, moon cuttin' like a blade,

whispers travel down the line, decisions that we made.

Eyes low, shoulders tense, we movin' ghost-like, swift,

in this concrete sermon, loyalty's the gift.

Hook (Chorus)

Burner on my hip, keep it quiet when night slide,

cold metal heartbeat, city lights and ride or die.

Burner on my hip, mama prayin' I survive,

every step I take, every move, keep my fam alive.

Verse 2

Ain't no glamor in the silence, ain't no glory in the fear,

just a ledger full of losses and a ledger that is near.

Pockets filled with stories, pockets filled with debt,

I hustle past the sirens, don't forget where we sweat.

Love for my people thicker than the smoke in alleyways,

we hustle under halos of the streetlamp blaze.

I carry more than heat — I carry memory and grief,

burner on my hip, weighin' down but bringin' brief relief.

Bridge

If the world was kinder, maybe metal wouldn't cling,

if the sun shone equal, maybe we would sing.

Till then I walk the tightrope, balance fear and pride,

burner whisperin' safety, shadow by my side.

Hook (Chorus — doubled, melodic)

Burner on my hip, keep it quiet when night slide,

cold metal heartbeat, city lights and ride or die.

Burner on my hip, mama prayin' I survive,

every step I take, every move, keep my fam alive.

Burner on my hip — hush, the streets decide,

run the night, hold the day, keep the ones I love inside.

Outro (soft, reflective)

One day I'll put it down, find a garden, find a home,

teach my kids to run free, teach 'em not to roam.

Till then I move with caution, blessings tucked like a locket,

burner by my side, prayin' peace gon' unlock it.

Porque music

See you when I see you
