Cracks in the Ground

Intro

Yeah

Check the mic

Uh

Verse 1

Bodega run for the dutch and a Sprite

Back alley kickin' it with my appetite

Corner boys clockin' in the same old fight

My shirt from the stoop still damp from last night

Block hot pavement risin' through my sole

Pockets got lint where the profit used to roll

They talkin' numbers but they never seen the toll

Loyalty a scar that you gotta pay to hold

Chorus

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Countin' losses like the cracks spread across the ground

They don't hear me till the bass start shakin' the crown

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Verse 2

Phone buzzin' debts like a dead man's ring

Old friends turnin' strange on the same damn thing

Mama said keep your head but the crown's too tight

Civilian life lookin' good from a different light

Used to run the block now the block done ran me

Posture from the stress ain't the posture of a G

Scraped together dreams now they bleedin' through the seams

Nothin' come easy but a pistol and some schemes

Chorus

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Countin' losses like the cracks spread across the ground

They don't hear me till the bass start shakin' the crown

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Bridge

Same spot same plot

Same cops same knots

Same knot in my chest

Wonderin' which way's west

Wonderin' if the come-up

Is still worth the get-down

Echoes on the asphalt

Where I left my best sound

Chorus

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Countin' losses like the cracks spread across the ground

They don't hear me till the bass start shakin' the crown

I been standin' on this corner since the sun went down

Outro

Yeah

Sun went down

Still here
