War cry

Yeah… (uh)

City never sleep… (grrt, baow)

We outside… (skrrt)

Look…

⸻

Mask on, heart cold, that’s a war cry (grrt, baow)

Lost souls in the city when the doors slide (skrrt, skrrt)

We was raised where the pain never more dies

Now it’s money, power, respect ‘til the Lord find (yeah, yeah)

Mask on, heart cold, that’s a war cry (grrt, baow)

Ops talk, but they quiet when the doors slide (skrrt)

Seen blood, seen tears in my bro’s eyes

Still I’m prayin’ we survive ‘til the Lord find (baow, baow)

⸻

I was broke on the bench, they ain’t look my way (nah)

Now the coupe all black, stars fill my space (skrrt)

I don’t care ‘bout a friend if he move two-faced (facts)

Only fam in my lane, can’t replace my place (never)

Seen a body in the gutter, just another lost name (damn)

Mama cryin’ on the block, that’s a part of the game (uh)

Pray to God I don’t fold, I got ice in my veins

Turn the pain into money, let it dance in my chain (grrt, baow)

⸻

Mask on, heart cold, that’s a war cry (yeah, yeah)

Lost souls in the city when the doors slide (skrrt)

We was raised where the pain never more dies

Now it’s money, power, respect ‘til the Lord find (baow, baow)

⸻

Uh, look—

I don’t move with a crowd, just the fam, that’s law (yeah)

If he reach for the chain, then he meet my dawg (grrt)

Got the stick on my side when I’m in that car (skrrt)

Say a prayer for the opps, they won’t make it far (baow)

Hunnid bands on the table, I ain’t touch no deal (nah)

I was raised in the jungle, gotta hunt for meals

Got scars on my soul that’ll never heal (never)

But I flex on the pain ‘cause the hurt too real (uh)

⸻

Ohhh, city lights can’t hide my sins…

Tryna wash away the dirt, but it don’t come clean…

All the money, all the fame, don’t erase where I’ve been…

Still I fight, still I pray, for my day to win…

⸻

They don’t know about the nights in the trap, no heat (facts)

Hungry stomach on growl, had to fight for a seat

Now the label want the bag, better talk that fee (yeah)

But I still tote steel if you talk on me (grrt, baow)

‘Cause the city full of hate, it’ll turn you cold

You could lose your life quick for a chain of gold (uh)

So I walk with a limp, heart heavy, soul old

Till my brothers all eat, I won’t ever let go (never)

Still I’m prayin’ we survive ‘til the Lord find (baow, baow, baow)

⸻

Yeah…

It’s a war cry… (grrt, baow)

For the ones we lost… (uh)

For the ones still fightin’… (skrrt)
