Hold That Line

Lyrics

[Intro] Cold rain ticks on the station glass Last train gone, but the clocks still flash [Verse 1] I learned the map where the bold lines bend Two exits south, where the old roads end Auntie said, “Keep your word, keep your head” So I wrote each promise in the book by the bed Now the squad move quiet, no wasted steps Every scar got a story, every debt got kept From the back-row seats to the front-page frame We came through the smoke with a steady name [Chorus] Hold that line when the night gets heavy Feet on the ground and the hands stay ready No crown came free, no road came clean We built our own way through the in-between [Verse 2] Brass in the distance, the whole block listens Old heads nod when the snare starts hitting I don't chase a throne, I just claim my share Put the truth in the verse, let it travel from there Still remember the rent due, shoes worn thin One good call and the whole team win When the gates swing wide, let the record show We kept our code when the cold winds blew [Chorus] Hold that line when the night gets heavy Feet on the ground and the hands stay ready No crown came free, no road came clean We built our own way through the in-between [Outro] Last train gone, still the promise stands One map, one word, one set of hands
