United Nations

Verse 1

Queensbridge raised me on the corner blocks

Beats knock harder when the empire drops

I built my name on the corner edicts

Every crown I earn pays my old conflicts

Pre-Chorus

Street legend written in the concrete

Turn the page and watch the city greet me

Chorus

Code of the streets I carry it close

Every scar and every ghost

I forged my path down the hardened road

From the projects to the throne I own

Verse 2

West coast thunder met east coast rain

Blend the blood till the anthem stains

I hit the booth with the bassline strong

Turning every lesson into one more song

Pre-Chorus

Legends rising when the record spins

Past the doubt where the truth begins

Chorus

Code of the streets I carry it close

Every scar and every ghost

I forged my path down the hardened road

From the projects to the throne I own

Bridge

They trace my name through the dust and gold

Every chapter heavy and bold

Still the same fire that the pavement holds

Kings of the borough never grow old

Chorus

Code of the streets I carry it close

Every scar and every ghost

I forged my path down the hardened road

From the projects to the throne I own
