[Intro]
Postcodes and street signs, that's how they divide us
One wrong turn, now Marcus lost in the crisis
Rotterdam Zuid, where dreams get revised and
Every block's a maze that redesigns us
[Verse 1]
Same playground back then, now the game's changed
Two kids with big dreams, but the lanes changed
Marcus moved south, I stayed north of the train
Now he's trapped in a loop while I'm spittin' these flames
Remember when we used to kick it on Zuidplein?
Now that spot's just chalk lines and blue flames
Different blocks, different cops, different rules man
I got lucky with beats while he played the fool's hand
Survivor's guilt eating me up inside
Every time I cross that bridge, feels like Jekyll and Hyde
Noord to Zuid, it's like day turns to night
Same city, different zip, ain't that some shit, right?
[Chorus]
Postcode decides who breathes, who bleeds
One side eats, while the other side needs
Same streets but different degrees
This city's algorithm got us on our knees
Postcode decides who breathes, who bleeds
Some of us rise, while the rest just freeze
Same dreams but different keys
This f*cking system got us on our knees
[Verse 2]
Yo Marcus, remember when we dreamed of making it?
Before the streets started taking kids
Before your address became your matrix
Before they labeled you "problematic"
Now I'm in studios while you're doing static
Two different worlds, shit's systematic
Could've been me in those statistics
But here I am, turning pain to linguistics
Every verse I spit, I see your face in it
Every beat I make, I hear your case in it
Different zip codes got us racing different
But we both know there's no escaping systems
[Outro]
Same city lights, different type of nights
Same harbor view, different type of blues
Postcode lottery, that's how they choose
Who gets to win and who's bound to lose
(Marcus, I made it out, but I ain't forgot about you)
