clock hit five, time to shake this shyt

bus ride hummin’, whole block legit

kicks stay icy, chain still lit

eyes stay on me when i make that trip

boss been barkin’, fukk what he say

stack my bread just to pave my way

phone buzz quick, shawty text “you straight?”

said “hell yeah, girl, pour up that drank”

streets stay loud but i slide off clean

fit stay crisp, whole hood turn green

love keep me sharper than a switchblade sheen

ain’t no frontin’, this the real scene

block stay hot but my soul stay cold

made my bag, now my story told

hood rich nights when the day unfold

shawty my crown and my band of gold

bus lights flicka, bass knock deep

city keep talkin’, but my faith don’t sleep

every mile closer make my pain retreat

cause i know your love where my grind complete

grind my azz off just to earn this night

money stack proper, got my future right

fukk the doubt, let the whole block fight

cause your kiss turn wrongs into somethin’ right

pull up fresh, white tee stay crisp

throwback fade and my chain can’t miss

neighbors watch close like “who run this?”

me and my shawty, top of the list

toast to the pain, toast to the fight

toast to the block that raised me right

toast to the nights that held me tight

cause i walked through hell just to see this light

new verse — city lights flash on the late-night run

synths talk back like the job ain’t done

grind on repeat but the war been won

shawty in my mind like the moon on sun

ride through the block with the windows low

talk box singin’ on the radio

sweat from the day let the champagne flow

love so deep make the whole hood glow

another verse — hustle keep callin’, i don’t look back

grind got scars but my soul on track

fukk that boss when he talkin’ smack

i got dreams too big, can’t hold ‘em back

money stack tall like a southern church choir

faith so strong, keep the block inspired

shawty right there when the world get dire

she the match to my flame, the spark to my fire
