Blood Before Lust

Intro

Yeah

Dirty south

Ride out

Verse 1

Ridin with my brothers through the back streets

Windows tinted black ain't nobody catchin heat

We been through the fire since we was fourteen

Blood on the pavement made us what we are

Loyalty ain't spoken it's written in scars

Lil nigga cross us and he won't go far

Four deep in the whip we move as one

Anybody slide through then it's done done done

Pre-Chorus

They say she look good on my arm tonight

But they ain't gon be there when the law arrives

That pretty face ain't gon take the ride

While my brothers stand right by my side

Chorus

Brothers before hoes that's the code I live by

Blood before the lust til the day I die

She can spin the block she can cry on cue

But my real ones know just who they ride with

Brothers before hoes that's the bond we keep

Lay your head down while my brothers sleep

Can't trade loyalty for a pretty smile

I been down with the crew for a long long while

Verse 2

Me and my dog since the sandbox days

Hit licks together countin different ways

He took a charge when they came knockin

I repaid that debt never stopped watching

He told me keep my head when the streets got cold

Said drop the drama keep the paper comin in

Now we countin profits while the weekend spins

She ain't never held me when the case was pending

But he was right there when the story ended

Pre-Chorus

She can wear my chain but she can't wear my crown

When the pressure hits she ain't stickin around

Real recognize real when the smoke comes down

My brothers is the only royalty I found

Chorus

Brothers before hoes that's the code I live by

Blood before the lust til the day I die

She can spin the block she can cry on cue

But my real ones know just who they ride with

Brothers before hoes that's the bond we keep

Lay your head down while my brothers sleep

Can't trade loyalty for a pretty smile

I been down with the crew for a long long while

Bridge

They can take the money

They can take the fame

But they'll never break the bond we made

Down to the grave

Heavy is the crown when you ride for the team

And I'd do it all again in my wildest dream

Chorus

Brothers before hoes that's the code I live by

Blood before the lust til the day I die

She can spin the block she can cry on cue

But my real ones know just who they ride with

Brothers before hoes that's the bond we keep

Lay your head down while my brothers sleep

Can't trade loyalty for a pretty smile

I been down with the crew for a long long while

Outro

Long long while

Yeah

Brothers before hoes

Ride out

Mm
