[Verse 1]
Strolling down the ave, hoodie 'round my dome
Eyes sharp, streets cold, feeling in my bones
Shadows in the alley, whispers in the chrome
Heart beats drumming, guess I’m never alone
[Verse 2]
Corner store glow, neon bathes the black
Foes creeping slick, plotting their attack
Step to me wrong, finna push 'em back
Pressure makes diamonds, I ain’t cutting slack
[Chorus]
Opp on the block, ooh, the pressure rise
Watch me move clean, lasers in my eyes
They dance in the dark, hoping for my cries
But I’m ten steps ahead, catching all they lies
[Verse 3]
Footsteps syncopate with the city beat
Slick with my purpose, quick on my feet
Streetlight chess, masking the defeat
Streets so gritty, don’t mistake me sweet
[Bridge]
Every glance, a signal, playing games of signs
Decoded the matrix, I’m reading between lines
Moves calculated, tight like braided twines
Catch me facing opps, crossing all the confines
[Verse 4]
Brick walls talk, secrets echo loud
Smoke thick, clinging, wrapping like a shroud
Patrolling the concrete, forever unbowed
Came for a king, but a lion’s been found
