Real ones stay...

**[VERSE — 16 BARS | 143–144 BPM | MITRAILLETTE]**

**1** Back when the block had love / we was locked in

**2** Now everybody got a price / everybody clocked in

**3** Day-one turned fake / handshake got venom

**4** Same crew, same view / but the loyalty went missing

**5** I was there when the rain came / ten toes pavement

**6** Now they pray for my fall / whole time I stayed patient

**7** No cap, no favors / remember who was present

**8** When the fridge was lookin’ empty / pressure got unpleasant

**9** Brothers used to share one plate / now they share no trust

**10** Everybody want the shine / nobody wanna build us

**11** Backdoor wide open / snakes slitherin’ through

**12** Smile up in your face / then switch sides on you

**13** So I ride for the real / let the fake fade out

**14** If you ain’t stand with the squad / you can stay out

**15** We was stronger together / now the circle got thin

**16** Everybody scream “family” / where the family been?

**[HOOK — 8 BARS | MELODIC / CHANTANT]**

**17** Where did the love go? / Where did the trust go?

**18** We used to ride together / now everybody cutthroat

**19** I need my brothers close / I need my day-ones near

**20** If the whole world turns cold / we gon’ still be here

**21** Where did the love go? / Where did the trust go?

**22** We used to ride together / now everybody cutthroat

**23** I need my brothers close / I need my day-ones near

**24** If the whole world turns cold / **we gon’ still be here**
