Jinovibe - Block Party Funeral Lyrics

[Intro]
Streets ain't quiet, streets ain't safe
Block party vibes but death's in the air
Fourteen deep in my memories
Bijlmer nights taught me how to play this game

[Verse 1]
Young blood watching from the window sill
While the block was dancing, I learned to kill
Not with guns but with this mind of steel
Every smile's a mask, every handshake's a deal
They thought I was just some innocent kid
Till I learned to read between what they did
Now I move like a ghost through these concrete blocks
Trading innocence for the keys to these locks

[Chorus]
Rest in peace to the boy that I used to be
Now I'm calculated, cold, that's the new me
Block party funeral, pour one out slowly
Bury that weakness, yeah, that shit's below me
(That's the new me, yeah, that's the new me)

[Verse 2]
Power moves in circles like vultures overhead
One wrong step and your reputation's dead
I learned to speak in codes, switch up the tongue
Sranan to Dutch, English when deals get done
Intercepted calls, yeah I heard what they said
'Bout who's next to rise and who's marked for dead
Now I orchestrate like a puppet master
Every move precise, getting faster, faster

[Bridge]
They thought the party was just celebration
But I saw through their false presentation
Every toast was a test of your dedication
Every dance was a power demonstration

[Chorus]
Rest in peace to the boy that I used to be
Now I'm calculated, cold, that's the new me
Block party funeral, pour one out slowly
Bury that weakness, yeah, that shit's below me
(That's the new me, yeah, that's the new me)

[Outro]
Pour one out for innocence
But don't mistake my silence for weakness
The party's over, this is business
And I'm the one who survived this sickness
