As it goes… man know how the block thing goes… As it goes… pressure builds then the whole thing blows… Dash through the block like “move, bro, watch!”, Life don’t stop, it spins like cogs, Mandem talk but they ain’t that hot, Chatting ’bout smoke but they ain’t got what. I been in the bits where the bricks feel cold, Heart stays bold but the dreams get sold, Man hit goals then the beef unfolds, As it goes… that’s how the story’s told. Bare man flex with the empty boasts, Bare man ghost when the heat gets close, Bare man post like they run these roads, But bro — your soul ain’t built for smoke. Step in the scene like “who said what?”, Words cut deep like a steel block, I don’t do luck, man I do nonstop, Grind so clean but the streets stay rot. Fast lane living, no crash, no stall, Still stand tall when the rainfall falls, Still hear mum saying “don’t lose it all”, But the trapline sings like a late-night call. As it goes — Man rise, man fall, man fight, man grow. As it goes — One wrong step and you’re off that road. As it goes — Life moves quick when the pressure overloads. As it goes… That’s the code, that’s the code, that’s the code. Yeah — I don’t wanna end up a block-side myth, Name on a list, man cold like mist, Life don’t gift what you don’t invest, I graft, compress, then I rise from stress. Bare setbacks on a violent twist, Still hit back with an iron fist, Still stay sharp like a razor’s kiss, Drill that truth — no lying lips. Blocks got rules that they don’t explain, Pain got roots that they can’t unchain, Man stay sane in the acid rain, But the past still hangs like a dark red stain. I move through smoke with a sacred aim, Still break moulds that they can’t contain, Still break free from the mandem blame, Still pray fire don’t carve my name. Rapid — Flow so manic I spin them planets, Bars volcanic — I burn through habits, Mind acrobatic like I’m doing backflips, Beat fully patterned — the drop’s a havoc. As it goes… Winds blow, roads fold, minds corrode… As it goes… Still I rise from the weight I hold… As it goes — You learn, you bleed, you breathe, you grow. Everything cycles, everything flows. Nothing stays still… as it goes, bruv, as it goes.
