Corner Store Code

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came up where the bread still gone
Blue bag on me, I don't stay too long
Mama said, "Boy, keep your face real calm"
But the night got cold and my name got long

Late run through the back fence gate
One wrong move, then it's too late
I seen fake love turn to hate
So I move in silence, I don't debate

New pair scuff on a busted floor
Old heads talk, I don't ask for more
I got scars, but I want that door
I want cash, I want peace, I want yours? Nah, for sure

Pre-Chorus
Hold up, wait
Hear that switch?
Say my name
Then watch me hit
One more step
Then it's lit
I don't fold
I don't quit

Chorus
Corner store code, corner store code
Everybody talk, but the pressure get cold
Corner store code, corner store code
I don't need luck, I was built for the road
Corner store code, corner store code
If you know, then you know, keep your mouth closed
Corner store code, corner store code
I was outside when the whole block froze

Verse 2
Now they hit my line like "Bro, what's good?"
Same ones ghosted when I slept on wood
I was down bad, but I stood on foot
Kept my word when the money look good

I don't smile for the camera flash
I don't trust a grin with a hidden plan
Too many snakes in the grass that crash
So I cut my path with a steady hand

If it's mine, then I'm taking it back
No handouts, I don't carry that slack
Flip that pain, make a line turn black
Now the whole room lean when I step on the track

Pre-Chorus
Hold up, wait
Hear that switch?
Say my name
Then watch me hit
One more step
Then it's lit
I don't fold
I don't quit

Chorus
Corner store code, corner store code
Everybody talk, but the pressure get cold
Corner store code, corner store code
I don't need luck, I was built for the road
Corner store code, corner store code
If you know, then you know, keep your mouth closed
Corner store code, corner store code
I was outside when the whole block froze

Bridge
I seen the doubt in the room
I seen the fear in the eyes
I took that flame and I locked in
Now they all watch me rise

Final Chorus
Corner store code, corner store code
Everybody talk, but the pressure get cold
Corner store code, corner store code
I don't need luck, I was built for the road
Corner store code, corner store code
If you know, then you know, keep your mouth closed
Corner store code, corner store code
I was outside when the whole block froze
