Legends Never Sleep

Gangster Rap, Old School

Lyrics
Description
Yeah, check it
Old school horn, tape hiss, record spin
DJ, DJ's friend
Park bench at 2 a.m., stoop light flickers, coat collar tuck
Old Benz on the curb, busted dash, cassette stuck
Mama's chipmug on the porch, TV glow down the hall
We hustle for rent, count nickels, prayin' not to fall
Ray got locked down in 03, cold concrete sermon
We left him a lighter and a note beneath the fire hydrant curbin'
Corner store clock read 1-12 when the deal went sideways
Sneakers scuffed, heart thumped, siren lessons in the night sky
I learned to read faces like headlines, trust earned scars
Pocket full of plans, a map made of cigarette bars
We traded Sunday dinners for late-night payphone plots
Dreams in a paper bag, ink stains on the thoughts
Old alleys know our names, stoop steps say our prayers
Graffiti on the stoop says more than anyone dares
Rhyme stitched to the rhythm of the blocks, breathin' hustle education
Survival, no ceilin', uh, keep goin'
From the stoop to the lights we ride
From the bench to the fight we try
Tag the night with a heartbeat, repeat
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
Sunrise with a knot in my chest, eyes red, city yawns
Found a note on a mailbox, another brother's gone
Lottery tickets, unpaid bills, loyalty paid in warnings
Corner preacher on the stoop said, boy, you learn by morning
Used to laugh on the rooftop, now we whisper plans, measure time
Every handshake, way we worry, every smile on the line
I carry my pops, watch that stop, the 95 frozen tick
It reminds me of promises, it's in every road I pick
Loose change in a tin, hidden under floorboards like prayers
I wrap the ledger of losses, name them in the layers
The cost of stayin' true, chipped enamel split seams
We keep the cadence tight, but our eyes carry dreams
When the block sings back, it's bittersweet a hymn
We celebrate with low flames, cigarette tips dim
Hold up, yeah, yeah, where we from?
From the stoop to the lights we ride
From the bench to the fight we try
Take the night with a heartbeat repeat
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
Legends never sleep
I kept my chain, but I lost time, took late calls at midnight
Bought silence with small bills, learned how to smile through the fight
Confession on a four-bar loop, I'm tired of the run
When the lights go down, sometimes I miss being someone's son
Beneath the bravado, a kid with scraped knees
And stories countin' headlines of the fallen
Cherishin' small glories if I
Cherishin' small glories
