Still Outside by Dead Air Syndicate
Still Outside
[Intro]
Yeah…
No matter how far you go, the streets never let you go
Still outside… always calling
[Verse 1]
Used to run these blocks, young and reckless
Now suits on my back, but the heart stays restless
Money came, fame came, yet I hear the corner hum
Old faces, new faces, the streets still callin’ some
Late nights in the city, neon lights flashin’
Echoes of the past, memories crashin’
Every win I got, every bag I stack
The streets whisper, “don’t forget where you at”
[Hook]
Still outside, even with gold in my hand
Streets in my blood, can’t escape the land
No matter the age, no matter the fame
The block still whispers my name
Still outside, yeah, it never fades
Lessons of the grind, scars that stayed
[Verse 2]
Friends went left, some never came back
I rose to the top, but the block never slack
Stories in the alleys, lessons in the walls
Hustle in my veins, even in boardroom calls
I walk with caution, respect still in mind
Success don’t erase the streets’ design
Every corner I pass, every shadow I see
Reminds me of the kid that used to be me
[Hook]
Still outside, even with gold in my hand
Streets in my blood, can’t escape the land
No matter the age, no matter the fame
The block still whispers my name
Still outside, yeah, it never fades
Lessons of the grind, scars that stayed
[Bridge]
They say grow up, leave it behind
But the streets taught patience, sharpened the mind
I can’t run, can’t hide, can’t erase the ride
Still outside, it’s a part of my life
[Verse 3]
Now I mentor the young, try to guide ‘em right
But the block still calls me every night
Even in my mansion, even with my chain
I hear the whispers, I feel the pain
Success ain’t a shield, money ain’t a cure
The streets got a pull, quiet but sure
Still outside, yeah, I embrace the fight
The block in my soul, day and night
[Hook/Outro]
Still outside, even with gold in my hand
Streets in my blood, can’t escape the land
No matter the age, no matter the fame
The block still whispers my name
Still outside, yeah, it never fades
Lessons of the grind, scars that stayed
