Through the Cracks

echo in the halls

Prayers for survival, ducking all the calls

Circle gets smaller every time one falls

But I ride for my brothers, no matter the walls

I’m inked with decisions that money can’t buy

View from the rooftop, secrets in the sky

Hope like a weapon, don’t care if I die

Hardened by winters and pain I deny

Verse 4

Bars in my blood, this legacy burns

Footsteps silent through the lessons I’ve learned

Rivals try creeping, but tables get turned

Respect ain’t given, it’s something you earn

Got loyalty tattooed from my head to my shoes

Never switched sides, never paid my dues

Walked with the sinister, prayed with the true

Blessed with the struggle, the struggle renews

Eyes in the rearview, trust in the now

Smoking ambitions I solemnly vow

Lose what I must, but never my crown

From projects to palace, I’m burning it down

Chorus

I came up from the corners where the night slow creeps

Dreams buried in the concrete deep

Another sunrise through the cracked blind peeks

Hustle for the bread while the old world
