Intro.It's the Painkiller mother fucker [Verse]
Dust on my boots, dirt on my name,
Heart heavy, carry memories like chains.
Mama prayed loud, said "boy, don’t you fold,"
But these streets cold, they carve out your soul.
The homies in the grave, shadows on my back,
Every step forward feels a step off track.
[Chorus]
Old Town soldier, marching in the rain,
Every scar I carry is a badge of the pain.
The war's in my veins, ain't no turning back,
When you live by the code, you prepare for the attack.
[Verse 2]
Thunder in the distance, whispers in the air,
Ops circling close, feel the tension everywhere.
Hood turned battlefield, flags in the dirt,
Revenge got a price, it’s paid in hurt.
Steel in my palm, scriptures in my head,
Prayers for the living, salutes to the dead.
[Bridge]
Loyalty’s a blade, cuts deep and true,
You bleed for the ones who would bleed for you.
Staring at the mirror, ghost in my eyes,
Old Town soldier, till the day I die.
[Chorus]
Old Town soldier, marching in the rain,
Every scar I carry is a badge of the pain.
The war's in my veins, ain't no turning back,
When you live by the code, you prepare for the attack.
[Outro]
Ashes to the wind, blood in the soil,
Old Town soldier, forged in the toil.
Legacy’s a shadow, it follows you whole,
Even when you win, it takes a toll.
