Block Heart

  1. **Block Heart**
  2.  
  3.  
  4. (Verse 1)
  5.  
  6. Met her on the corner, winter coat, two dollar laugh,
  7.  
  8. Nights was cold but her gaze kept me warm in the trap.
  9.  
  10. We shared blunt smoke, little dreams, and late night plans,
  11.  
  12. She said she’d ride —I said I’d hold it with both hands.
  13.  
  14. Block lights flicker, sirens hum like old regrets,
  15.  
  16. We carved our names on a bench where the sun forgets.
  17.  
  18. Promise inked in the margins of a notebook drawer,
  19.  
  20. We was almost kings, almost something more.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. (Pre Chorus)
  24.  
  25. But streets got a language, it taught me how to hide,
  26.  
  27. I learned to weigh the love against the way I ride.
  28.  
  29.  
  30. (Chorus)
  31.  
  32. Block heart, beatin’ for a life that don’t forgive,
  33.  
  34. You held my cold and taught me how to live.
  35.  
  36. Block heart, love on a corner with the world outside,
  37.  
  38. We tried to stay together but the nights decide.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. (Verse 2)
  42.  
  43. She cried once, said “Boy, pick me or pick the road,”
  44.  
  45. I looked at leather seats, thought ’bout the heavy load.
  46.  
  47. Mama told me loyalty’s thicker than the chains,
  48.  
  49. But loyalty cost blood and burned through all my change.
  50.  
  51. I kept her picture folded where the heaters hide,
  52.  
  53. We kissed through bullet whispers, prayed we’d both survive.
  54.  
  55. One wrong turn, one friend that couldn’t keep a grip,
  56.  
  57. Love turned to caution like a sinking ship.
  58.  
  59.  
  60. (Pre Chorus)
  61.  
  62. I promised I’d be home, then the moon pulled me away,
  63.  
  64. Now I count the minutes like the debts I gotta pay.
  65.  
  66.  
  67. (Chorus)
  68.  
  69. Block heart, beatin’ for a life that don’t forgive,
  70.  
  71. You held my cold and taught me how to live.
  72.  
  73. Block heart, love on a corner with the world outside,
  74.  
  75. We tried to stay together but the nights decide.
  76.  
  77.  
  78. (Bridge)
  79.  
  80. If I could trade the nights for one calm morning,
  81.  
  82. I’d trade my pride, my watch, my warning.
  83.  
  84. She deserved a sunset, not the quick goodbye,
  85.  
  86. But love that’s born on the block still learns to try.
  87.  
  88. Echoes of her laugh hang heavy on my chain,
  89.  
  90. Every step I take, I hear her call my name.
  91.  
  92.  
  93. (Verse 3 —quieter)
  94.  
  95. She left a light on, a note with shaky lines,
  96.  
  97. “Be safe,” she wrote —simple, trimming all the signs.
  98.  
  99. I folded it like prayer, kept it by my chest,
  100.  
  101. A fragile map for when the storms don’t rest.
  102.  
  103. Some loves don’t get castles, just a bench and stars,
  104.  
  105. We held each other tight through all the scars.
  106.  
  107.  
  108. (Final Chorus)
  109.  
  110. Block heart, beatin’ for a life that don’t forgive,
  111.  
  112. You held my cold and taught me how to live.
  113.  
  114. Block heart, love on a corner with the world outside,
  115.  
  116. We tried to stay together but the nights decide.
  117.  
  118. Block heart, still beatin’ though the roads been rough,
  119.  
  120. Love in the gutter, and we loved enough.
  121.  
  122.  
  123. (Outro)
  124.  
  125. I walk past that corner, shoulders heavy, slow,
  126.  
  127. Light still on the bench where our small truths glow.
  128.  
  129. Block heart keep beatin’, lessons deep in the streets,
  130.  
  131. Love that wasn’t simple —love that keeps the heat.
