Lyrics
Hard as a rock
Cold as Philly's winter
When you're left out in these streets, yo
You were the king of the block
You were shot
It was all so senseless
Oh, how I miss my brother, brother
Oh no, left me alone
With so much potential
No wonder I miss you
It's okay, I got a new home
I've found me a family
Right here, in this alley
I'm like hey, oh
I only made it this far with a heart of stone
No one can break this heart of stone
No one can break this
I'm like hey, oh
I only made it this far with a heart of stone
No one can break this heart of stone
This one's for my Kings and Aces
Yeah, yeah I had to say my goodbyes to a real good man
A deep, painful feeling that I never wanna feel again
Thought my pops would prolly take more care of his fam, man
But all he looked out for was "my guy" and "bam-bam"
No lie
Then I thought I had a family with the Lyons
But they seemed more like wolves the more I realized
Time to cut my ties, save that drama for someone else
My pops left me with only memories and nothing else
Still, he was more than a dad, more like a king to me
Family provide, I needed it, he would bring it to me
Thought he had it all, now he's gone and ain't leave a thing to me
Swear sometimes it feel like it's all just a bad dream to me
My family is these streets (Streets, yuh)
My family is over everything
(We do it for each other, we do it for one another
While I do it for my father, you doing it for your brother, yuh)
And we still running these streets (Okay)
It's in the blood man, nothing but loving
(My father was a king and your brother was a king
So we heirs to the throne, so crown us and sing)
Hey, oh (Oh)
I only made it this far with a heart of stone
No one can break this heart of stone
No one can break this
I'm like hey, oh (Oh)
I only made it this far with a heart of stone
No one can break this heart of stone
This one's for my Kings and Aces, yeah
Hey, uh, uh, uh
No one can break this heart of stone
You hear me
