Blocks and Blood

Born in the shadows where the sirens don't blink

Where hope gets smoked and the angels just sink

Mom on the edge, Pops locked in a cell

So my first real lesson was how to hustle and sell

Corner store classroom, gang signs my pen

Homework was the product — stash it, flip again

Bloody turf wars, every color got beef

You pull or get pulled — no time to breathe

Old head said, “Son, keep your mind on tight”

But all I heard was hammers cockin' in the night

A thousand eyes on the block, but no one's snitchin’

'Cause talk too much and you end up missin’

BLOCKS & BLOOD – WE NEVER RUN

TRIGGER FINGER READY – LOAD THAT GUN

LOYALTY'S LAW – WE DIE BY CODE

EASTCOAST KILLERS – THIS IS WAR MODE

Used to throw stones, now I move bricks of pain

Sellin’ dreams to kids with clouds in they brain

My enemies masked up, but I smell the fear

They come for me – but I shoot first, clear

Fast girls, high heels in the passenger seat

She want love, I give her bass and a beat

She asks for my heart, I hand her a pack

Feelings make you weak — can’t afford that

Every day’s a gamble, life’s the bet

You lose yourself, you pay in sweat

I ain't afraid, just broken and cold

Signed my soul off, now the devil's on hold

Met with the boss in the back of the Benz

He said, “Word’s out, you been talkin' to feds.”

I laughed, but his eyes stayed ice cold still

Then he slid me a photo – blood stains, kill

It was my cousin, tied up, two to the chest

Same one I saved, now he failed the test

Boss said, “Cut him off or you're next”

So I burned his name, then I sent that text

Now I walk with ghosts, trust no one near

Even my mirror got eyes full of fear

Tried to make money, now I’m chained to the war

No heaven for me – just blood on the floor
