Brooklyn Code

Verse 1

Bricks in the night on Myrtle

Mama said run the other way

I kept the mask low and steady

Counted the blocks till day

Pre-Chorus

Every window watching every step I take

Every corner knows my face

So I keep it cold and silent

Till I own the whole damn place

Chorus

Brooklyn in my blood that's the code

Cross the bridge we never go alone

Rooftop stars and the gravel road

Brother hold my hand before the storm

Post-Chorus

Before the storm

Before the storm

Verse 2

Hand me the cut we split it even

Word ain't cheap and trust is thin

My boys ride out when the sirens sing

Leaving no trace where we been

Pre-Chorus

Every iron gate is a door I know

Every shadow is a friend

If you bleed on this concrete I bleed too

Till the very bitter end

Chorus

Brooklyn in my blood that's the code

Cross the bridge we never go alone

Rooftop stars and the gravel road

Brother hold my hand before the storm

Post-Chorus

Before the storm

Before the storm

Bridge

No crown but we wear the hustle

No gold but the grind is loud

When the hood calls I answer in full

We the ones who own this ground

Chorus

Brooklyn in my blood that's the code

Cross the bridge we never go alone

Rooftop stars and the gravel road

Brother hold my hand before the storm

Post-Chorus

Before the storm

Before the storm
