Lyrics

Philthy is here
Listen close
From the block, we don't borrow the armor
We earn the scar, then we honor
Low talk, high stakes, that's the charter
Came through the fire, still smarter
From the block, two bars in the cluster
First one clean, second one bust ya
If you painted the pain, don't touch us
We live in the proof, not the cluster
Dawn hit the bricks like a fist on tin
Screen door slam, that's the shift begin
Young ones study faces 'fore they study pages
Learn who keep quiet when the rent get savage
I don't sell a slogan, I sell a standard
Show up early, leave the room answered
Street don't care how pretty you phrase it
Street care who stayed when the lights got vacant
Auntie kept the kitchen like a war room chapel
I kept my word like a locked-up apple
Don't come soft with the rented swagger
I stack hard sounds 'til the beat feel dagger
Corner store clock with the crooked second
Everybody famous in the borrowed record
I stand like a lamppost, still in useful
You fade like a headline, loud and useless
From the block, we don't borrow the armor
We earn the scar, then we honor
Low talk, high stakes, that's the charter
Came through the fire, still smarter
From the block, two bars in the cluster
First one clean, second one bust ya
If you painted the pain, don't touch us
We live in the proof, not the cluster
Look me in the pupil, that's the first exam
If the stories shake, I don't need a scam
Trust live quiet in the unseen errand
Not in the toast, not in the pageant
I don't lease the world to a stranger's chorus
I carry the miles like a midnight porter
City talk posture, chin up, waste none
Talk too glossy and the block get restless
Double-time the line so it won't get stolen
One pass honest, next pass swollen
Thick in the mouth like a iron after bite
Pocket on the tongue so it stay airtight
They want the legend with the mud wrung out
I leave the dirt in so the kids don't doubt
If you missed the nights when the bill came raw
Don't grab the hook like you wrote the law
Catch it first pass
Catch it tight a second
From the block, we don't borrow the armor
We earn the scar, then we honor
Low talk, high stakes, that's the charter
Came through the fire, still smarter
From the block, two bars in the cluster
First one clean, second one bust ya
If you painted the pain, don't touch us
We live in the proof, not the cluster
From the block
New ink
Same ground
