(Keep ya head up, keep ya eyes open...)

Better move smart in these streets

Yeah... listen up

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

They movin' different when the sun turns black (turn black)

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

Ain't no friends when you holdin' stacks (no friends)

Corner store wisdom from the old heads

Same rules apply that my uncle said

Every block got eyes, every move got weight

Lost too many soldiers who moved too late

Gut feeling never lie, that's what saved me

Paranoid thoughts, but they made me

Street sense sharper than a razor blade

Learn quick or end up in the shade

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

They movin' different when the sun turns black (turn black)

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

Ain't no friends when you holdin' stacks (no friends)

Two-faced snakes with plastic smiles

Been plottin' on you for a while

See them circling like buzzards do

Yesterday's partner tomorrow's crew

Keep the circle tight, trust is earned

Every scar on my back - lesson learned

They don't want peace, they want pieces

Of everything you built in these streets

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

They movin' different when the sun turns black (turn black)

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

Ain't no friends when you holdin' stacks (no friends)

Red flags wavin' but you didn't look

Street signs clear but you didn't book

Now you caught up in the undertow

Should've listened when I told you so

Everybody eatin' 'til the plate dry

Then true colors show, that ain't no lie

Keep ya head on straight, stay aware

'Cause these streets don't play fair

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

They movin' different when the sun turns black (turn black)

Keep ya eyes open, watch ya back (watch it)

Ain't no friends when you holdin' stacks (no friends)

(Keep watching... keep watching...)
