"Biscayne" (N.P.C DownTown)

Lyrics

Intro
(Yeah, yeah)
(Turn that shit up)
N.P.C DownTown (GT Productions)
(Fast Fast)
Biscayne Drive, where we came from
(Ayy)
Where we never fucking run to.
(Let’s go)
Chorus 1
I ran with them boys, tryna make me a bag(Make it)
Young and dumb, had the whole damn city on my back(On me)
Bad decisions, had the sirens on the block(Woo-woo)
Mamas crying while we swore we’d never stop(Damn)
I ran with them boys, Biscayne was the route(Biscayne)
Everybody knew the name, but nobody knew the doubt in me(They don’t know)
Had pride in my chest, had my judgment on mute(No brakes)
Thought I had it figured out—didn’t know what that shit would cost(Cost)
Verse 1
We was kids with big dreams and a pocket full of lint(Broke)
Trying to turn a small play to a lifestyle quick(Quick)
Old heads talking bullshit, making danger sound legit(Sound good)
By the time the truth came out, we was already in the mix(Too deep)
I saw fear in the faces, heard the neighborhood scream(Damn)
Everybody chasing paper, nobody chasing a dream(Nope)
One bad night can turn a whole family to a scene(A scene)
Now the ones who said they loved us gotta live with what they seen(Damn)
I ain’t proud of every road—I was lost inside the noise(Lost)
Trying hard to be a man while I copied grown-ass boys(Grown)
Pride got louder than my brain, drowned out every choice(Too loud)
Now I hear my mama praying every time she hears a voice(Mama)
She said, “You could’ve been great,” I said, “I know that shit”(I know)
But survival had me moving like I had no other switch(No way)
You can’t call it loyalty when everybody gets you hit(Damn)
By the same fucked-up cycle that you swore you’d never live(Never)
Chorus 2
I ran with them boys, now the bag came with a price(With a price)
Every dollar had a shadow, every win came with a vice(Damn)
Your girl moved on later, trying to keep the damn bills paid(Bills)
You let your pride make the choice, now you’re stuck with what it made(Stuck)
Two weeks pass, new lies, new names(New names)
Everybody chasing comfort while they drowning in the shame(Shame)
You thought that bitch would wait forever, but the world don’t work that way(Nope)
Should’ve used your fucking judgment before you threw it all away(Wake up)
Verse 2
Biscayne Drive, where the pressure never sleeps(Never)
Where the young ones learn to hustle ’fore they learn to dream(Too soon)
Where the loudest in the room usually hiding something deep(Hiding)
And the toughest-looking faces got them scars nobody sees(Scars)
We was running from the pain, not running toward the top(Toward the top)
Every time we made a little, somebody wanted what we got(Want it)
Had to watch the same streets where the whole damn thing got hot(Hot)
Now I’m praying for the next kid before he takes that walk(Don’t walk)
Your girl said you changed, you said she never understood(Never)
Truth is, both of y’all were breaking down the best you could(Breaking!)
She found another way to eat, you misunderstood the look(Damn)
Now you blame that bitch for damage when your own pride wrote the book(Your pride)
No pretty lies—just the facts that people hide(Facts)
When the moñney gets low, everybody compromises pride(Pride)
She was searching for a lifeline, you were searching for a side(A side)
Two broken people turning love into a fucking transaction(Damn)
Bridge
(Ayy!) Who you doing this for?(Who?)
Who you trying to impress?(Who?)
All that tough-ass talking
Did it bring your brothers back?(No)
(Yeah!) Did it feed your mama?(No)
Did it fix the bills?(No)
Pride got you empty
While the city gets its thrills⁷⁶(Damn)
Chorus3
I ran with them boys, but I’m running from that life(Run)
Had to face the ugly truth hiding underneath the hype(The truth)
Mamas crying, broken homes, everybody paying twice(Paying)
Every bag ain’t worth the pain, every wrong ain’t right(Ain’t right)
Biscayne Drive, that’s the place that made us strong(Made us)
But being strong don’t mean you gotta keep the bullshit going on(Nope)
If your pride keeps driving, you can’t see where you went wrong(Can’t see)
I ran with them boys—but I’m finally moving the fuck on(Move on)
Verse
Now I’m trying to build a life that don’t depend on fear(Build it)
Trying to tell the young ones, “Don’t let pride steer”(Don’t)
A real man knows the difference between courage and a bad idea(Know it)
And a real win means your people get to see another year(Another year)
I still hear them old voices when the bass hits hard(I hear’em)
Still remember empty pockets, broken trust, and boulevard scars(Scars)
But I’m done confusing chaos with becoming who you are(Done)
I’m from the place we never run to—now I’m running fucking far(Run)
Chorus
I ran with them boys, tryna make me a bag(Make it)
Lost too much chasing shit I thought I had to have(Too much)
Mamas crying, broken homes, everybody feeling paying twice (Paying!)
Every bag ain’t worth the pain, every wrong ain’t right (Ain’t right!)
Biscayne Drive, that’s the place that made us strong (Made us!)

Biscayne Boyz.!
