Trap, Four rappers spitting about the drug trade

Intro

Hook
Hold your head up high, don't you ever look down at the block
We got our own time now, ain't nobody stopping the clock
Stand up straight and tell them where you come from, say it proud
Say it loud and clear for every face in the crowd

Verse 1
Let me be straight, I was broke and this block was all mine
It taught me how to stand and how to hold the line
Watched the older heads grinding, never leaving the ground
Wasn't no way out, so we all stayed in town
My moms smiled at me and hid every bit of pain
She worked a double shift in the cold and the rain
The landlord kept on knocking at the door
I was ten years old and I knew we needed more
The bills stacked up as high as the hills we had to climb
Everything we wanted came with a price tag every time
I kept the loyal ones, the few who really stay
Real ones never ghost you, they don't walk away

Hook
Hold your head up high, don't you ever look down at the block
We got our own time now, ain't nobody stopping the clock
Stand up straight and tell them where you come from, say it proud
Say it loud and clear for every face in the crowd

Verse 2
Winters on this street were mean and bitter cold
We took the lessons from the ones who got old
My brother ran with fake friends who let him down
Fake friends only clap when you're wearing the crown
I watched the ones I trusted fold up with doubt
I kept my word and now I'm finding my way out
I write the rhymes at night so mom can rest one day
Boom bap in my chest, it's how I pay her back
I never beg for nothing, I extend my hand
I paid my dues in full and I'm here to take a stand
I'll leave this town one day but it won't leave my mind
It made me who I am, I'll honor every line

Hook
Hold your head up high, don't you ever look down at the block
We got our own time now, ain't nobody stopping the clock
Stand up straight and tell them where you come from, say it proud
Say it loud and clear for every face in the crowd

Outro
Remember where you started, always remember your name
The block won't ever change and I'll stay the same
