Echoes of the Storm

Whispers in the alley, shadows creepin' low Streetlights flicker, heart beatin' like a Mama pray for peace, but the block won't let me go Hustlin' through the pain, diamonds dancin' on my chain Trappin' in the trap, I'll change the fur like I'm no kid Enemies lurkin', but I rise like the mornin' haze Lost brothers to the flame, echoes in the empty frame Voices auto-tuned in my mind, replay the blame Woman base in my veins, high hat snappin' like a trap Street life callin', can't turn back, no map From the south side struggle to the throne I claim under feel the storm in my name Yeah, we grindin' through the night, lights flashin' bright All up to my sorrow, turnin' in the fight Trapped soul, risin' old, chain hold, southern king Story, story untold, bottles in the pavement Memories cracked like that grew up on the corner Slingin' hope where it's at sirens wailin' distant But the fear stays close bottled up emotions Poppin' like an overdose, friends turn to ghosts Faded in the rearview, but I paint my scars with gold Make em see through rapid fire thoughts High ass rollin' fast, past the pain, I'm built to last Southern cash Woman base in my veins, high hat snappin' like a trap Street life callin', can't turn back, no map From the south side struggle to the throne I claim under feel the storm in my name Yeah, we grindin' through the night, lights flashin' bright All up to my sorrow, turnin' in the fight Trapped soul, risin' old, chain hold, southern king Story, story untold, yeah Slow it down, feel the weight on these shoulders Echoes of the fallen, makin' me bolder From the dirt we bloom, roots deep in the concrete Auto-tune redemption, R.B. incomplete Hey, the block remembers, ledges never fade In the rhythm of the struggle, promises we make Woman base in my veins, high hat snappin' like a trap Street life callin', can't turn back, no map From the south side struggle to the throne I claim under feel the storm in my name Yeah, we grindin', can't turn back, no map Yeah, we grindin' through the night, lights flashin' bright All up to my sorrow, turnin' in the fight Trapped soul, risin' old, chain hold, southern king Story, story untold, yeah Trapped life, southern forever, fade out slow
