Back when the hallways
That's my ninja
Back when the hallways
Back when the hallways
Back
Back when the hallways smelled like wet coats and cigarettes
Mama fold the stress into the grocery list
Blue lights cut the rain like switchblades through fog
We learned silence before we learned trust, yeah
Yeah, yo
I seen kings lose crowns over ego and palace
And cold nights turn boys into stone-faced cowards
Now every bar feel carved in concrete pressure
Every scar got a timestamp etched forever, oh
Still hear the sirens sing through the night
Still keep my soul when the city's on fire
Hands to the sky but my back stay wired
Lost so much love, I still walk inspired
We built this hope from the smoke and the wires
Rain on the roof while the ghosts sing choir
If I fall, let the whole world know
I kept my flame when the wind blew cold, um, sheesh
Pressure made diamonds, I pressed it in palm grips
Palm full of trauma, still jotting these calm scripts
Concrete philosopher, thought from the park bench
Watching the cops circle blocks like a shark fin
Youngins with starving apartments had dark fridges
Mama would stretch every dollar through hard winters
I used to write raps in the steam from the shower glass
Dreams in a backpack stuffed under a hour pass
Tick-tick, city rhythm like a cracked metronome
Friends disappeared overnight like they never known
We adapted, half savage, half mathematic
Half praying the reaper don't add us to black fabric
Every move tactical, never too emotional
Pain teach discipline faster than motivational
Still I kept soul in a place that erase men
Seen hope die slow in the eyes of the maintenance
Now the whip glide smooth but the memory rusted
Trust got thin from the jealousy and corruption
I learned survival from nights with the hunger pains
Now every verse hit heavy like freight trains
(Triple it burst, ninja)
Black mask, backstab, cash dash, dash fast
Rain splash, gang tags, all facts, no acts
Split second, wrist flexing, big weapons, lips pressing
Hard code, dark roads, law code, lost souls
Dark blue helicopters above us
Judge spokes 'til the cuffs never loosen
Young ghost in the alley still moving
One slip and the whole game ruined
Still hear the sirens sing through the night
Still keep my soul when the city's on fire
Hands to the sky but my back stay wired
Lost so much love, I still walk inspired
Rain keep falling but the flame don't fold
Heart stay human when the world turn cold
Yeah, I came from kitchens with a stove light flicking
Uncles talk war while they roll white papers
Every family photo got somebody missing
Every prayer got fear underneath the religion
Double entendre, the scale had me balancing weight
Tryna measure my worth while evading the state
Wait, every handshake came priced with betrayal
Love turn artificial when survival get fatal
I watched envy spread quicker than wildfire ash
Watched fake smiles crack under financial crash
Now my daughter ask why I don't sleep that much
'Cause I still hear them tires when the street lit up
Existential dread mixed with relentless ambition
Every sentence encrypted with tension and wisdom
Still pivot with precision through miserable systems
Trying not to lose soul chasing tangible millions
My pen bleed cinematic trauma in widescreen
Youth full of nightmares and police sirens
Now labels call after ignoring the hunger
Funny how respect arrive latest, dummy
