Through the Noise

Intro

Static on the trap phone, four rings then it's answered

Same six voices steady like a drumbeat never staggered

Through the noise, through the noise, we the signal that remains

Verse

Parking lot at midnight, engine running, heat still on

Kept the last plate warm for Deja till her shift was gone

Tariq counting product but he counts my brothers first

Said the block could burn tomorrow long as we ain't dispersed

Grew up sharing one umbrella when the block flood deep

Now we sharing one dream, nobody sleep till we eat

Cousin caught a charge for something that he ain't even do

Held the truth like scripture, said the crew comes through

Six lanes merging into one road, one direction

Every scar a story, every story a connection

Uncle said the loyalty a weakness in this business

I said watch the signal cut through static and the distance

Momma pawned her ring so Trey could make the bail

Never told a soul, kept it quiet like a vault

That's the kind of love ain't written in a rulebook

Static in the wires but we still the only true look

Hook

Through the noise, through the noise, I still hear you calling

Through the noise, through the noise, ain't a soul here falling

Static in the static, but the signal never dies

Through the noise, through the noise, my crew's the only prize

Verse

Corner store at three, Neko flipping through the mail

Found the eviction notice, split the rent before we fail

Ain't nobody asking, that's just how the circle move

Every dollar traded got a debt we don't approve

Marcus took a bullet meant for words he never said

Held his tongue in court so the truth could stay ahead

That's the kind of silence heavier than gold

Kept the fire burning when the whole block turned cold

Priya driving graveyard just to keep the lights lit

Never made it front page but she wrote every script

Six of us in one room splitting one thin blanket

Dividing every dollar like the currency of transit

Every static burst, every dropped call, every jam

Still comes back to us, still comes back to the plan

Uncle called it foolish, said the crew's a liability

I said that's the only thing that ever felt like clarity

Hook

Through the noise, through the noise, I still hear you calling

Through the noise, through the noise, ain't a soul here falling

Static in the static, but the signal never dies

Through the noise, through the noise, my crew's the only prize

Bridge

No cameras rolling when we pull each other up

No trophies for the nights we split the only cup

This ain't about the shine, it's about who stayed

When the static took the room, who ain't run away

That's the receipt I keep folded in my chest

Every name a signature, every name the rest

Outro

Through the noise, through the noise, the signal still remains

Six of us, one hallway, one bulb, one same refrain

Static fades to silence but the bond outlasts the sound

Through the noise, we the only frequency around
