[Verse 1] Chrome on the curb, slow roll past the corner store Bass in the trunk make the glass in the doorway roar Came from the block where the rent stayed overdue Now every turn got a crew and a point of view No handouts, I was raised on a narrow lane Learned real quick every smile ain't a friendly name Keep one eye on the road, one hand on the wheel Talk is cheap, but the neighborhood knows what's real [Hook] Ride low, stay sharp, let the whole block know Old-school pressure when the clean wheels roll No disguise, no retreat, keep the code intact When the bassline knocks, everybody lean back [Verse 2] I remember cold dinners and a busted gate Now the same young hustlers studying their escape Mama said, "Choose your circle, don't follow the crowd" So I built mine solid, never needed loud Every scar on my knuckles got a story attached Every loss taught a lesson, every win got matched Still I move with respect, but I never move scared If the line gets crossed, better know I'm prepared [Hook] Ride low, stay sharp, let the whole block know Old-school pressure when the clean wheels roll No disguise, no retreat, keep the code intact When the bassline knocks, everybody lean back [Bridge] Cut the engine, let the silence fill the lane Count the ones who stayed close through the struggle and the strain Then the kick comes back, and the wheels turn slow Same roots, new miles, still the whole block know [Hook] Ride low, stay sharp, let the whole block know Old-school pressure when the clean wheels roll No disguise, no retreat, keep the code intact When the bassline knocks, everybody lean back [Outro] Keep it moving, keep it grounded, let the old road shine Every mile on the odometer is a marker of time
