Angels Won't Fly

Verse 1

Came up off the corner where the rain turn red

Man down in the alley left a message on the led

Trunk full of faith and a pocket full of doubt

Ridin' through the city tryna figure it out

Reaper on the passenger keepin' time with the meter

Chop the whole block up then they serve it up sweeter

Blood on the curb turn the pavement to a pool

North Memphis taught me everybody play a fool

Pre-Chorus

Stack it up (stack it up)

Grind it down (grind it down)

Prayin' on the low that the law don't come around

Chorus

Slangin' them thangs where the angels won't fly

Crossin' that line when the moon get high

North side boy with a heart full of stones

Sold my soul to the block now I walk it alone

Post-Chorus

Walk it alone

Walk it alone

North side boy

Walk it alone

Verse 2

Mama said pray but the blocks got my back

Chevy on three wheels got me cuttin' these tracks

Four in the morning nothin' movin' but me

Countin' these bricks like the river count the sea

Handshake a promise that the grave couldn't break

Turn a cold shoulder turn a whole menu to cake

Icy like the winter that froze over the store

Colder than the whisper that we heard through the door

Pre-Chorus

Stack it up (stack it up)

Grind it down (grind it down)

Faith on the floor while the truth stay underground

Chorus

Slangin' them thangs where the angels won't fly

Crossin' that line when the moon get high

North side boy with a heart full of stones

Sold my soul to the block now I walk it alone

Bridge

Spanish moss hangin' like a heavy mood

Every nickel counted every dollar crude

Turn a blind eye to the graveyard news

Just another night on the avenue

Chorus

Slangin' them thangs where the angels won't fly

Crossin' that line when the moon get high

North side boy with a heart full of stones

Sold my soul to the block now I walk it alone
