[Intro – Aggressive hood tone, Sleepy Hallow energy]
Heard they tryna line me, they must want war with us (nah)
Four minutes in, I can tell you not raw enough
Whole hood watchin’, can’t slip, gotta boss it up
If it ain’t money or loyalty, we don’t talk enough
⸻
[Verse 1 – Hood storytelling, A Boogie street style]
From the trenches where the cold nights bite on your skin
I done prayed for my brothers just to make it back in
Half my dogs locked down, other half in the wind
Had to turn my pain to profit, now the loss turned to wins
Talkin’ global like Baby, yeah, I been on that run
Merch madness in the city, put the hood on my tongue
If you came from the dirt, then you know where I’m from
We was trappin’ out the hallway ‘fore the re-up would come
⸻
[Hook – Motivational hood anthem, Lil Baby energy]
Merch madness, took the block worldwide (worldwide)
From the backstreets straight to the front row side (row side)
All this pain on my chest still a part of my pride (my pride)
Dirt on my name, but the crown still mine (still mine)
We gon’ ride ‘til the end, ain’t no switchin’ my side (my side)
Came from shadows, now the city know I’m certified
⸻
[Verse 2 – Dark & focused, Sleepy Hallow style]
They talk gloomy conclusions, I ain’t hearin’ that talk
I been movin’ with precision, every step, every walk
Got the reaper in my vision, but I’m still in the chalk
Outline dreams on the board ‘til my whole block bought
Poppin’ Addy when the pressure got my head in a spin
Can’t fold when the fakes tryna slide back in
I was down, now the racks can’t fit in my den
Still remember cold nights with the heat from the pen
⸻
[Bridge – Hood reflection, A Boogie melodic grit]
I been in the rain so long I can’t feel drops no more
Lost soldiers to the game, can’t knock on their door
Mama said, “Son, don’t let greed make you poor”
But the hunger in my soul won’t settle the score
⸻
[Hook – Final push, Lil Baby drive]
Merch madness, took the block worldwide (worldwide)
From the backstreets straight to the front row side (row side)
All this pain on my chest still a part of my pride (my pride)
Dirt on my name, but the crown still mine (still mine)
We gon’ ride ‘til the end, ain’t no switchin’ my side (my side)
Came from shadows, now the city know I’m certified
⸻
[Outro – Sleepy Hallow fade]
If it’s dark at the end, I’ma light up my lane
Every loss, every scar still a part of my name
Ain’t afraid of the night, I was born in the pain
From the hood to the globe, yeah, we rose from the chains
