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's 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 feelin' 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 nothin' else
Still, he was more than a dad, more like a king to me
Family provider, 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, yeah
My family's over everything
We do it for each other, we do it for one another
While I do it for my father, you doin' it for your brother, yeah
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
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
Hey, uh, uh, uh
No one can break this heart of stone
You hear me
