Verse 1 (scene-setting, fast) He was thirteen watching rain leak through the ceiling Landlord knocking like the walls got feelings Mom at the table with the bills spread wide Choosing which one live, which one die He learned early hunger got a louder voice Than teachers talking ‘bout a better choice Money showed up, vanished by the night Nobody taught him how to make it right Hook Corners don’t care if you make it or fall Street keep score but it never calls Fast nights, slow death, lights stay dim Every step deeper, pulling him in Verse 2 (downward slide) High school halls but his mind elsewhere Thinking how to eat, not college fairs Friends skipping class, chasing quick relief Laughing too loud, hiding broken teeth He didn’t chase pain, pain chased him first Every bad habit felt like it quenched the thirst Till mornings came heavy, body felt wrong Still moving ‘cause stopping took too long Verse 3 (rock bottom, non-graphic) One night quiet hit harder than noise No friends around, no fake voice Cold floor, head spinning, breath real thin Thinking ‘bout the boy he was back then Not dying—just realizing how close Life fragile like the words never spoke In that silence, something finally clicked “I don’t know money—that’s the trick” Hook Corners don’t care if you make it or fall Street keep score but it never calls Fast nights, slow death, lights stay dim Every step deeper, pulling him in Verse 4 (learning phase) He started watching who moved with respect Who touched cash but still stayed in debt Noticed power wasn’t loud or wild It wore clean shoes, never smiled He studied people more than books How fear move hands, how trust get took Didn’t feel proud, didn’t feel brave Just tired of living day to day Verse 5 (rise, consequences) Money stayed longer this time around Bills paid quiet, fridge made sound Neighbors whisper, eyes follow his walk Phone buzzing late, coded talk Empire talk but his sleep got light Every siren felt personal at night He won on paper, lost inside Whole world heavy when you got something to hide Bridge (double-time feel) Fast cash stack, fast paranoia Every win bring a newer destroyer No peace in control, no calm in the throne Whole city loud when you feel alone Verse 6 (reflection) He look back now, see the full arc How survival can blur what’s dark Street taught lessons, but it charged a fee Took his youth, took his ability to breathe free He tell the young ones without preaching loud “Learn money clean before it learns you how” ‘Cause corners remember every debt you owe Even when you think you run the show Outro Same streets, new eyes, colder heart Still alive, still tearing it apart Story ain’t glory, it’s a warning sign— Corners don’t care… but knowledge might.

Corners dont care
