homies ride or die

Lyrics

[Intro - gritty 808 bass rumble, distant gunshots echoing, low-pitched ad-libs "gang shit"]
Yeah, gutter dreams, twitchy fingers... homies ride or die...

[Verse 1 - trap hi-hats snapping, heavy 808 slides, aggressive monotone flow with snarling ad-libs]
Too many problems got me chasin' dreams, that's why I look so mean
Strugglin' in the gutter, but it's all good, homies on the side
Same boat, same float, we don't sink alone
Twitchy finger on the trigger, keep my peace but I'm on edge
Ridin' with the gangstas, one fuckin' looney in the whip
Eyes on the rearview, pigs on the prowl, we don't slip

[Chorus - booming 808 kicks, chopped vocal samples, hype gang shouts "ride or die!" layered thick]
Homies got my back, we settle the score, law knockin' at the door
Go dark till the dust settle, mouths shut forevermore
Snitch and you open your last door, watch your body hit the floor
Gangsta life, twitchy fingers, we enforcin' with the torch

[Verse 2 - faster trap snares rattling, distorted synth stabs, double-time flow with menacing whispers]
From the block to the trap, we stackin' that green, no sleep in the scheme
Homies bleedin' the same, loyalty etched in the pain
One wrong move, heat flash, no hesitation in the blast
Federales circlin', we vanish like ghosts in the mist
Looney crew deep, choppers sing lullabies to the weak
Cross the line, get erased, no debate, no retreat

[Chorus - booming 808 kicks intensifying, siren samples warping, crowd chant ad-libs "no snitch!"]
Homies got my back, we settle the score, law knockin' at the door
Go dark till the dust settle, mouths shut forevermore
Snitch and you open your last door, watch your body hit the floor
Gangsta life, twitchy fingers, we enforcin' with the torch

[Bridge - slowed 808 pulse, eerie piano keys, hushed tense vocals building to a scream]
On the edge, one breath from the ledge... homies whisper "hold it down"
Dust settles slow, but the score's gettin' owed now... (ad-lib: "pow pow")

[Outro - fading trap hi-hats, reverb-drenched gun cock echo, final gravelly ad-lib "gangsta forever"]
Body hit the floor... dreams in the gutter... ride or die... (fades to silence)
