lirik lagu mc truth - echoes of the block
[intro: mc truth]
yeah…
another night, same streetlights
same dreams, same fights
but every echo out here got a story…
and mine still hittin’
[verse 1: mc truth]
i was raised where the sirens sang lullabies
dreams get cut short right before they rise
you learn quick — never trust those eyes
’cause snakes wear smiles when they plan your demise
mama said, “boy, don’t lose your soul,”
so i poured mine in beats, let the rhythm console
turned the concrete cold into lyrical gold
every rhyme a brick in the life i mold
corner hustlers taught math before school did
life lessons hit harder than the rule did
while kids played ball, i was writin’ bids
bars my survival — i’m still that kid
i remember the hunger, the dark, the chill
countin’ dreams on my fingers, payin’ dues in will
the mic was my weapon, my blade, my quill
every verse i dropped made the pain stand still
[chrous: lil jim]
echoes of the block, they call my name
every scar i got just fed my flame
from the cracks of the street to the hall of fame
i stayed true — never played that game
[verse 2: mc truth]
had friends turn ghosts, fame turn foes
respect ain’t free — it’s the path you chose
you either bloom through struggle or fold and close
me? i grew through the dirt like a rose
studio nights felt like church to me
confessin’ my sins through the frequency
no diamonds, no deal, just decency
i rap for the lost — that’s legacy
i seen pain in a poet, hope in a thug
love in a fiend who just wanted a hug
every story got truth under layers of crud
every beat i touch, i spill my blood
no shortcuts, no ghostlines written
my bars ain’t polished, they scarred and bitten
i’m from the side where the hope was smitten
but i still preach faith — my truth’s still hittin’
[chrous 2: lil jim]
echoes of the block, they call my name
every scar i got just fed my flame
from the cracks of the street to the hall of fame
i stayed true — never played that game
[verse 3: mc truth]
streetlights fl!cker — they still remember
the nights cold as a dead november
every rhyme i spit — each one an ember
burnin’ bright, keepin’ real forever
now i walk with pride where i once crawled slow
built a name off pain, let the whole block know
that the kid they doubted got the truth to show
mc truth — born from that streetlight glow
still pour a little liquor for the lost ones’ fate
still pray for the kids dreamin’ past the gate
still speak for the ones tryna shift their state
’cause my pen don’t sleep — it meditate
they said “truth, you the last of your kind,”
i said, “nah, i’m just first in line,”
to bring real rap back, make the world rewind
to when lyrics had soul and the heart defined
[chrous 3: lil jim]
echoes of the block, they call my name
every scar i got just fed my flame
from the cracks of the street to the hall of fame
yeah… from the block to the mic
from pain to purpose
truth never dies — it just amplifies
i stayed true — never played that game
