Code of the Street

[Intro] Dust on the tires, city hums at night Concrete prayers under neon light We moved through shadows, learned the hard climb Keeps our feet on the grind, one day at a time [Verse 1] Corners spoke in weathered tones, where stories bleed and bend OGs paid debts to the blocks, loyalty never ends Hustle in my pupils, vision sharp as chrome From busted walls to billboard dreams, we carved our own throne Base thumps deep in the chest, a rhythm we survive by Grit in the shoes, but hope in the eyes that never lie Cars glide like steel birds, street winds whisper our names We wear scars like badges, pride in where we came from, flames [Pre-Chorus] Eyes on the horizon, storms we’ve weathered fall away We vow to keep the faith, no matter what the price we pay [Chorus] This is the code we live by, the crew we ride for, stay true If you stand by me, I’ll stand by you, through the night and through the blue Belonging isn’t borrowed, it’s earned in fire and rain We keep it real, street by street, till the sun returns again [Verse 2] We speak in shorthand, loyalties carved in the palm of hands Every ally a compass when the city forgets our plans From bottle-lit alleys to asphalt dawns, we hustle the same Dignity in the grind, a promise to the ones who call our name Guarded hearts, but open doors for the ones who stayed We lace our steps with courage, never human badges fade [Pre-Chorus] Eyes on the horizon, storms we’ve weathered fall away We vow to keep the faith, no matter what the price we pay [Chorus] This is the code we live by, the crew we ride for, stay true If you stand by me, I’ll stand by you, through the night and through the blue Belonging isn’t borrowed, it’s earned in fire and rain We keep it real, street by street, till the sun returns again [Bridge] Focus on the dream we share, the path carved in the grime Danger fades when we’re aligned, heartbeat syncs with time From safe zones to danger zones, we keep our circle tight Together we rise, with the dawn as our guide [Chorus] This is the code we live by, the crew we ride for, stay true If you stand by me, I’ll stand by you, through the night and through the blue Belonging isn’t borrowed, it’s earned in fire and rain We keep it real, street by street, till the sun returns again [Outro] Stay on the path, stay with the faith, stay loyal to the crew From gritty roots to skyline dreams, we’re staying true
