[ Featuring Sofiane Kasmi (contributor) ]
[Verse]
Neon lights buzzin', midnight lurkin',
Milk crates stacked, old man smirkin',
Noodle cups for dinner, hot sauce drippin',
The hood's public library, gossip slippin'.
[Chorus]
Bodega in my area, life on the block,
Sandwiches made, never stop,
Pop open the fridge, grab a cold one,
Trap through the night until the sun.
[Verse 2]
Paper bags rustle, breaking dawn,
Gritty yet glorious, hustle till morn,
Cops passing by, sirens blarin',
Folks in the back, arguments starin'.
[Bridge]
Cigarettes sold, news on the tube,
Graffiti tagged walls, paintin' the groove,
Neighborhood unity, right at the spot,
Bodega dreams, like it or not.
[Verse 3]
Candy bars lined up, smiles exchanged,
Stories told, past and pain,
Under the radar, away from fame,
Bodega life, always in the game.
