[Intro] Yeah This that side talk Names on paperwork They still outside though [Verse 1] Don Ash Sr Trench coat Thin grin Always catch a lil charge Always back in Little county vacation Then he reappear Same old corner Whole crew disappear Jeff Horlock Fake hard Loud bark Never did a real bid Just short dark Weekend in a cell Monday in the sun Somebody fed the law Funny how they run They point They whisper "He solid He cold" But the streets read different when the stories get told They allowed in the circle where the real ones smoke But the code keep coughing every time they joke [Chorus] They walk among the woke The real The code Low life rat snitches still playin' they role Short lil jail trip Then they back in the zone Don Ash Jeff H Talkin' tough on the phone They walk among the woke The real The code Informers to the opps Still dressed like they bold Whole hood side-eye every time they stroll We know We know We know [Verse 2] Seen Don at the bar Talk big war stories Paper-thin alibis Never in the allegory Everybody got a scar from the times we slid He got none But he swear he did what we did Jeff love court dates Fresh cut Clean fade Laughin' in the hallway Lawyer already paid Judge hit him light Wrist tap Lil fine Meanwhile homie got decades off the same line Code say quiet They get loud in the room Treat the station like a stage Tellin' tales Perfumed They mingle with the movers like they part of the mold But the paperwork louder than the words they sold [Chorus] They walk among the woke The real The code Low life rat snitches still playin' they role Short lil jail trip Then they back in the zone Don Ash Jeff H Talkin' tough on the phone [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If you ever wonder why the hammer never fall Why the time so small when the crime so tall Check the files Check the faces in the hall Names in the margins Writin' deals on the wall [crescendo] They stand where the solid ones stood Smile where the loyal ones should But the truth seep slow through the neighborhood And once it hit It never leave for good
