Pit Bull Street 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Pit Bull Street still got the same smoke in my lungs

Concrete heat rising off the pavement we done

Watched the block change, watched the game unfold

You come up quick here, you go down cold

I been a number that nobody know

Number to call when things go low

A name that rings loud through the wire and steel

You hear it in your sleep before you feel

My phone still ring from the street to my chest

Someone's in trouble, I'm not done yet

I run on empty, I don't need a name

This block is heavy, that's what I claim

Pit Bull Street taught me every lesson there was

How to move quiet, how to show your face

Every hand you hold comes with its own weight

So I keep my own count, don't let nobody dictate

Pre-Chorus

I'm walking down the street where the sun don't shine

Watching all the faces turn into mine

Chorus

Pit Bull Street got a hold on me

Concrete and smoke running through my veins

Nobody leave this block with nothing to say

Pit Bull Street, that's my name

Verse

I used to be a boy who ran from the light

Thought I could outrun every single fight

But the city don't care how old you are when it takes hold of your neck

It just waits for you to show up and let it know what you're made of

Now I'm a man with hands full of dust and wire

Cutting deals in alleys nobody'd hire me to walk through

People look at me different now, they nod as I pass

Cause when you come from nothing, people take that for class

I still got the same heart but it's older now

A little wiser, a little tougher somehow

Every streetlamp casts my shadow twice on the ground

This is what I wanted when I walked out of this town

Pre-Chorus

I'm walking down the street where the sun don't shine

Watching all the faces turn into mine

Chorus

Pit Bull Street got a hold on me

Concrete and smoke running through my veins

Nobody leave this block with nothing to say

Pit Bull Street, that's my name

Bridge

You can take everything from me, take every single thing I own

But you can't take back what the city put in my bones

I made a home out of hard dirt and steel

Now they're looking at me like I'm somebody real
