[Verse 1 — laid-back, behind the beat, soft consonants] Me and my neighbors still out here, still movin'... (whispered) Still got that pain but we ain't never showin'... Lost my brother, world kept spinnin' anyway So we stay strapped with nothin' left to lose today... Can't cry in front of neighbors, so I bottle it Turn the grief to energy, keep it solid, get to spittin' it Whole squad grievin', but we turn it up regardless (reverb tail on "regardless") Pain in the pictures, but the energy's heartless... [Hook — lead + whispered double-track throughout] Still grieving, still tough, nothin' left to lose... (up... — pitched down, distant) Me and my neighbors carry it, that's just what we do Ain't no therapy, we just ride it out together... (let "together" trail into reverb) Pain don't stop, but the energy together Still grieving, still solid, still standin' on it Lost too much to be scared of anything comin' Nothing to lose make a neighbor move reckless But the love for my brother keep the message correct... (trail off, no hard stop) [Verse 2 — same laid-back pocket, slight weariness building] My neighbors lost people too, we don't talk about it We just pull up different, ride for each other, no doubt in it Grief made us closer, made the energy harder Made me realize ain't nothin' promised, love 'em while they're here, partner... I hype with the squad but the pain still linger Nothin' to lose now, turned it up, numbed my feelings Numb the pain with the money, numb it with the fame But late night it come back, whisper my brother's name (drop to near-silence here — most intimate line in the song) [Hook — repeat, same treatment] [Verse 3 — near-spoken, weary conviction, NOT shouted] I ain't scared of nothin' 'cause I already lost the worst Buried my brother, so what's death gon' do first... (murmured — heaviest moment) Me and my neighbors move like we got nothin' to lose 'Cause when you already hurt like this, what's more to prove Turn the pain to power, that's how we survivin' (beat thins to just one chord here) Still grieving loud while the world think we thrivin'... Still tough, still solid, still here, still ridin'... For my brother, for my neighbors, still ridin'... [Outro — beat pulls back, vocals warped/tape-wobbled] Still grieving... (still tough...) Nothin' to lose... (still solid...) Still love you... still here... still ridin'... (Free my brother, forever, on everything... — mumbled, slight stutter/chop, echoing out)
