Block nights

Hook (Chorus)

Block nights, we pray under street lights, yeah,

Mama on the porch, sayin’ keep ya mind right, yeah.

Lost ones on my mind, see the past in the headlights,

Block nights, we hold tight, keep the fam in my sight.

Verse 1

I walk slow where the shadows keep secrets,

Concrete cold, heart heavy with regrets.

Phone blowin’ up but I mute it, tryna rest,

Every siren feel like a test I can’t forget.

Homies tattoos tell stories that they never say,

Empty seats at tables where we used to play.

I learned to fold my pain, hide it in my chain,

Smile for the cam, but the truth stay the same.

Street talk, quiet nods, respect measured in time,

We hustle for tomorrow, tryna leave past behind.

Pray for peace when the night get violent,

Mama bless the house, light the candles, silent.

Hook (Chorus)

Block nights, we pray under street lights, yeah,

Mama on the porch, sayin’ keep ya mind right, yeah.

Lost ones on my mind, see the past in the headlights,

Block nights, we hold tight, keep the fam in my sight.

Verse 2

Corner conversations, whispers in the wind,

Trust is a thin line, gotta know who’s your kin.

Enemies switch faces when the sun dip low,

Friends turn to allies when the bankroll grow.

I call my brother, say you straight? He say he good,

But the look in his eyes say more than words could.

We grew from nothing, now we fight to keep it,

Carry the weight of dreams, don’t let the city break it.

Love’s a quiet thing, I show it with my grind,

Buyin’ bread for my people, put the worries behind.

Never boast, just move with intent, stay polite,

But when they cross the line, we ready for the fight.

Bridge

Late night prayers, foot on the floorboard,

Thinkin’ of the faces I can’t see no more.

If God got a plan, I hope He show the door,

Give me one more day, I’ll do right by the poor.

Block nights, keep me steady, keep me humble,

When the world push hard, I refuse to crumble.

Hook (Chorus)

Block nights, we pray under street lights, yeah,

Mama on the porch, sayin’ keep ya mind right, yeah.

Lost ones on my mind, see the past in the headlights,

Block nights, we hold tight, keep the fam in my sight.

Verse 3 (Final)

I’m tryin’ to raise a legacy, not just a name,

Turn the block’s dark story into brighter fame.

Kids playin’ stickball where the bullets used to fly,

Wish they never had to learn the how and why.

So I pour my heart in songs, let the truth unwind,

Tell my people hold on, better days on the climb.

If I fall, y’all lift me — that’s the code we write,

Keep the love open on these long block nights.

Outro (soft)

Block nights, yeah, we still pray, we still fight,

Holdin’ on to hope till it sees daylight.

Porque music

See you when I see you
