Verses of the Borough

From the underground, where the truth flows deep We keep it raw and uncut, ain't no room for the weak Life’s spinning vinyl, can you hear the sound it reaps? Every block's a story, every alley's got its creeps In the heart of the city where the lights dim low Got the rhythm in my steps, the concrete's my flow Voices from the stoops, where the wise thoughts grow Lessons from the street, that's the knowledge that I sow On the street corner, see the life blur Turnin' pages of the life, you can hear the city stir Chasing better days, dodging from the sins lure Every rhyme I spit, it's the truth, that's for sure All the real ones, they been through the tough stuff Rhymes rich in layers, never once a bluff Got my mind sharp, and my flow tough Every beat I conquer, like the streets, it's rough Okay, the beats be hearty, echoes of the city Verses hold the struggle, 'n the lines are heavy gritty Against the noise, stand up, gotta take a stance Crafted in the cipher, I deliver, not by chance Pen and a pad, golden era in a glance Spittin' from the soul, while the records all enhance The skyline's etched with tales of the bold Lyrically painting the streets with words of gold A symphony in the subway, beats never old In the city's heart, life's vinyl unfolds Dive into the verses, where the sagas unfold With a boom bap heart in a world so cold Tales scribed deep, on the corners they told 'Tween the breaks 'n the 808s, truth be bold From the borough to the block, it’s the beat we feed Echoin’ the struggle, it’s the hip hop creed Sprayin’ art on the canvas where our spirits plead Bleeding ink on the page where we plant the seed Lights flicker as the night train rolls Whispers of a dream that the darkness holds
