Lyrical Analysis of...
Concrete Oaths
- **Concrete Oaths**
- Intro
- silent nights, concrete breath
- we move like shadows, countin’ debts
- Verse 1
- cold palm, colder promise
- city hums —we learn the chorus
- brothers with the same scars, same names
- swearin’ on the block, swearin’ on the pain
- you don’t cry loud here
- we swallow thunder, hide the fear
- teach the kids to stand, to aim
- teach the kids to fold when the flames claim
- Pre Chorus
- my chest heavy like a suitcase
- eyes hollow, still I chase
- ghosts in hoodies, ghostin’ grace
- we pray in codes, we pray in ways
- Chorus
- gang ways, heavy on my tongue
- learned to carry suns that weigh a ton
- gang ways, promises crack and hold
- we move in silence, hearts gone cold
- Verse 2
- bullet lullabies at 2 a.m.
- sirens sing the tune again
- mama cried but she can’t change the lane
- kids grow quick, they learn the pain
- loyalty stamped, inked in blood
- we skate the edge, we court the flood
- love split between the home and the hood
- ask for peace but we misunderstood
- Pre Chorus
- count the nights we turned to stone
- count the times I walked alone
- oath by oath, bone by bone
- carved our names into a throne
- Chorus
- gang ways, heavy on my tongue
- learned to carry suns that weigh a ton
- gang ways, promises crack and hold
- we move in silence, hearts gone cold
- Bridge (quiet, haunted)
- i dream of leaving, but the street’s a magnet
- pulls on my marrow, pulls on habits
- i taste the choice but spit the chance
- we dance in masks, no second glance
- i wrote your name on a bulletproof note
- folded it tight, swallowed the hope
- Breakdown (explosive)
- i don’t wanna be the reason they bury me
- but the hood is a mirror —it’s still scary
- handshake, quick flash, eyes verify
- one wrong move and the lullaby dies
- Chorus (reprise, falsetto)
- gang ways, heavy on my tongue
- learned to carry suns that weigh a ton
- gang ways, promises crack and hold
- we move in silence, hearts gone cold
- Outro (soft, repeating)
- concrete oaths, whisper my name
- concrete oaths, nothing stays the same
- concrete oaths, feel the weight of days
- concrete oaths —these are our gang ways
