[Intro]
Cold streets, cold hearts, we used to be brothers
Now I see right through you like shattered glass and others
[Verse 1]
Remember them days after school, sharing bread and dreams
Now you're sitting with the cops, spilling facts and schemes
Thought we had a code, thought the streets taught you right
But you folded like paper when they turned on them lights
Felix, my day one, now you're day done
Trading loyalty for freedom, what the f*ck have you become?
Used to watch your back when your pops was never home
Now you stabbing mine, leaving me to die alone
Economic pressure got you switching up so quick
Childhood memories fading like some f*cking magic trick
[Chorus]
(Static crackles)
Trust nobody, that's what the streets keep saying
While you sitting with them cops, all our bonds decaying
Trust nobody, watch how they switch their faces
When the pressure hits, they forget about the places
We came from
[Verse 2]
Middle class comfort made you soft inside
Trading street codes for promises and alibis
Empty houses, latchkey kids, that's how we grew
Now you're acting brand new, telling them what's true
Every word you speak puts another nail in deep
Into the coffin of our friendship, now I cannot sleep
Calculated moves like a f*cking chess game
But you sacrificed your bishop, now you're living with the shame
System got you thinking that survival's worth the cost
But when you sold your soul, tell me everything you lost
[Chorus]
(Static crackles)
Trust nobody, that's what the streets keep saying
While you sitting with them cops, all our bonds decaying
Trust nobody, watch how they switch their faces
When the pressure hits, they forget about the places
We came from
[Outro]
Streets don't love nobody, that's the coldest fact
But a snake in friend's clothing, there ain't no coming back
Felix, hope that deal was worth the price you paid
'Cause real recognize real, and you're looking mighty fake
(Static fades)
