Gilded Exit

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up where the pavement crack Mama said, "Boy, don't you look back" Whole block hot, whole block tense Young boys learnin' common sense Feds on the corner, lights in the mirror Playin' for keeps, gettin' no clearer Chrome on my wrist, pain on my chest Tryna turn dirt into somethin' blessed Double my pace when the pressure come Runnin' this game, never settlin' for crumbs Big body move when the work get sold Small-town dreams with a heart so cold [Pre-Chorus] I seen friends turn ghost Seen love turn gross If I make it out clean Bet I fly the most [Chorus] Made it out the hood Made it out the hood Came through the fire Still standin' good Made it out the hood Made it out the hood Hands to the sky Yeah, I knew I would [Verse 2] Steel in the city, sirens in the dark Youngin' got a scar and a giant mark Ain't no fairy tale, ain't no clean line Every win I got was a steal in time Run with the wolves, talk with the sharks Dice in the kitchen, codes in the parks Chain on my throat, weight on my name I was built from the smoke, I was raised in the game Double-time talk when the truth hit hard If I got a loss, I still played my card Money move fast, but the soul move slow I been at the edge and I still said go [Pre-Chorus] I seen friends turn ghost Seen love turn gross If I make it out clean Bet I fly the most [Chorus] Made it out the hood Made it out the hood Came through the fire Still standin' good Made it out the hood Made it out the hood Hands to the sky Yeah, I knew I would [Bridge] Now the walls get thin And the fear get far I been livin' like sin With a heaven-bent heart [Outro] Skyline open, I'm light-speed bound Gold in the cloudline, no more ground Cold chain glitter, then it fade to white See my name in the stars tonight Synths rise up like a choir of chrome I can feel that place comin' home All that smoke, let it drift away I'm on my way, I'm on my way
