(Verse 1)
Yo, let me drop this truth, sharp as a tailored crease
When it comes to my day ones, loyalty's a silent, binding peace
Through thick and thin, we been a crew, interlocked like ancient gears
No temporary thrill gonna make our brotherhood shed tears
Chasing skirts and fleeting highs, that's chasing mirages in the heat
My brothers got my six, a compass pointing to a constant street
We built this bond on trust, respect, a tapestry finely spun
While some connections fray like threads beneath a setting sun.
(Chorus)
Bros before, you know the rest, a truth etched in our marrow
This ain't about no disrespect, just aiming for a deeper furrow
The foundation's strong, the loyalty's the gravity in our orbit
My squad's got my back, a silent pact, expertly forged and orbit.
(Verse 2)
Seen too many fall, caught up in the game they chase, lost in a labyrinth of charm
Temporary love can leave you in a lonely space, an echo in an empty arm
While the fellas hold you down, through every single fight, a sturdy bridge across the divide
They the ones who'll help you up, and make everything right, like a steady hand correcting a wayward stride
From late-night talks to celebrating every win, a shared vintage, aged with time
Our brotherhood's a fortress, where true strength begins, a resonant chord in life's complex rhyme
So when the sirens call, and temptation tries to bite, a gilded cage with a velvet door
I stand with my kin, an unshakeable anchor on the shifting shore.
(Chorus)
Bros before, you know the rest, a principle polished by the years
This ain't about no disrespect, just navigating through life's fears
The foundation's strong, the loyalty's the unseen current that keeps us afloat
My squad's got my back, a well-tuned engine in life's bumpy boat.
(Bridge)
Some might misunderstand, twist the words I speak, like reading shadows on a wall
But real ones know the value of the bond we seek, a rare vintage in a world of thrall
It's about having anchors when the waters get rough, a ballast against the storm's caprice
Knowing who's gonna be there, that's love enough, a quiet understanding that brings inner peace.
(Chorus)
Bros before, you know the rest, a maxim whispered through the ages
This ain't about no disrespect, just turning insightful pages
The foundation's strong, the loyalty's the invisible thread that binds us tight
My squad's got my back, a constellation burning ever so bright.
(Outro)
Yeah, that's the code we live by, a north star in our journey's plan
My brothers and I, forever through life's span, like intertwined branches of a steadfast clan
So next time the choice appears, the answer's clear and bold, a truth that resonates in the soul
My boys come first, a story often told, a legacy that makes us whole.
