Auburn And Concrete

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the west side steps To the cracked front porch Mama lock the chain Before the night get sore Kids play dice with time Look both ways, then twice Fried fish on the block And a cold stare price Old heads know the code Keep your name real low If the talk get hot Then the whole block slow Sirens cut the air Like a blade on glass Everybody move When the headlights pass [Pre-Chorus] We been through the rain Been through the smoke Still stand tall Still refuse to fold Say my city’s rough Yeah, I know, I know But we keep our word And we keep our soul [Chorus] Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on We still gon’ move Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on Ain’t nobody through [Verse 2] Chain-link shadows bend On a late bus stop Corner store got lines And a watchful top Cousin text one word “Make it home, stay safe” So I tuck my pride And I choose my pace Nail in the tire, yeah Broken glass shine Still the kids got dreams Like a hard white line Every scar on this side Got a story tied Every front door knows What it means to try [Pre-Chorus] We been through the rain Been through the smoke Still stand tall Still refuse to fold Say my city’s rough Yeah, I know, I know But we keep our word And we keep our soul [Chorus] Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on We still gon’ move Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on Ain’t nobody through [Bridge] [Half-time] If the night get mean We don’t lose our name If the road get dark We still play the game Hand on the wheel Eyes on the gate Every bruise just proves We survived today [Final Chorus] Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on We still gon’ move Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on Ain’t nobody through Atlanta, hold on Hold on, hold on Atlanta, hold on We still gon’ move
