Code of Honor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was like, know your honor Wearing my code of honor like a coated armor Thinking I was better off making a solo Than I was in a society I don't trust Rather stay outside of it, so unjust I know it's cold in the outskirts, so much drugs To numb your senses from the violence, but I won't budge And I don't know about gods above But I know I won't be judged by no man like I won't judge A thin line between now and then I still hold some of those values and I understand The connection to the mechanisms Creating the same code of honor you get in prison Can't talk to noone, can't trust noone Ain't no justice it's just you plus noone We don't love ourselves, so we self-destruct Forgetting who we matter to, like some selfish f***s [Chorus] Our self-destruction they applaud it It's fitting right into their scheme Our negative vibes we uphold them I just know that ain't you that ain't me So don't tell me 'bout your code of honor Cuz' I wouldn't call it honor All I see is how we put ourselves in the corner [?] that they put us under [Verse 2] Because the code of the streets is the road to defeat Looking over your shoulder stay on your toes and your feet Can't sleep, soon ya' got coke on your nose and your teeth Or whatever drug you use, you're loosing control underneath All you see is betrayal, you think it's because we're weak But maybe it's against our nature, do we know what we need? I think we need new definitions, do we know what it means? To be real, cuz' it takes strength to be weak [Chorus] Our self-destruction they applaud it It's fitting right into their scheme Our negative vibes we uphold them I just know that ain't you that ain't me So don't tell me 'bout your code of honor Cuz' I wouldn't call it honor All I see is how we put ourselves in the corner [?] that they put us under [Verse 3] I know I told you otherwise so now you think I'm [?] Just want us to be free from the hatred that's internalized And a lot of s***t ain't changed from before As long as we ain't equal in front of the face of the law I ain't saying we should talk to the police, the judges Or the DAs, that's just as destructive And when we see their corruption, I know it's seductive To try to serve our own justice And that ain't wrong, we should build our own But a network can't be built on [?] We got too much love, too much righteousness We need to let it all out, otherwise it's just [Chorus x2] Our self-destruction they applaud it It's fitting right into their scheme Our negative vibes we uphold them I just know that ain't you that ain't me So don't tell me 'bout your code of honor Cuz' I wouldn't call it honor All I see is how we put ourselves in the corner [?] that they put us under Our self-destruction they applaud it It's fitting right into their scheme Our negative vibes we uphold them I just know that ain't you that ain't me So don't tell me 'bout your code of honor Cuz' I wouldn't call it honor All I see is how we put ourselves in the corner [?] that they put us under
