Same Block, Same Code

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, keep your word. That’s how we move. [Verse 1] Corner store clerk knows the names on our coats, Rain on the curb, steam lifting from the grates. You said you’d be there when the old van broke; You came with a wrench before I called twice. No big talk, just a hand on the job, One held the light while the other turned bolts. We learned early what a promise is worth: It shows up quiet when the weather turns rough. [Chorus] One for the ones who stayed when it got tight, Two for the word that we keep every night. Same block, same code, stand shoulder to shoulder, If one takes the weight, then we all pull closer. [Verse 2] Back room table, chipped blue paint, Mama counts change, still saves us a plate. I keep my head clear, keep my temper in check, A name means nothing if you fold on respect. We walk our people home past the last bus stop, Call when you’re in, let the whole crew know. No crown, no throne, just a line we defend: Don’t sell out your brother to impress a stranger. [Chorus] One for the ones who stayed when it got tight, Two for the word that we keep every night. Same block, same code, stand shoulder to shoulder, If one takes the weight, then we all pull closer. [Outro] Same block. Same code. We pull together.
