[Intro] Status: active... Still locked in... Tha Code Records Country Savage Yeah... City lights flicker, Blue lights cut through the dark. Everybody think the night gets quiet... Nah. The streets never sleep. [Verse 1] I learned young, keep your head on a swivel, Read the whole room, every move in the middle. Same cars circle, same eyes in the glass, Same ones smiling be the ones talking fast. I remember nights when the block stayed awake, Every move calculated, every handshake weighed. You could feel when the energy shifted outside, Hear a door shut twice, know something ain't right. Sirens in the distance, tires on the road, Everybody got a story, everybody got a code. Some chasing money, some running from pain, Some disappear and never come back again. I done seen friends turn strange over green, Seen loyalty vanish quicker than a dream. That's why I watch first, that's why I don't speak, Because even when you're sleeping... The streets never sleep. [Hook] The streets never sleep, Lights still moving when the whole world's dreaming. The streets never sleep, Somebody watching, somebody scheming. From the midnight run to the sunrise creep, Every corner got secrets that the concrete keeps. I learned that code when I was knee-deep, You can close your eyes... But the streets never sleep. [Verse 2] Used to be outside when the moon stayed high, Had hustle in my blood, had fire in my eyes. Had to know who was solid, know who was fake, One wrong read could change your whole fate. Now I'm older, still reading that room, Different kind of hustle, but I carry that truth. Turned street sense into business and plans, Same ten toes, just cleaner hands. Phone keeps ringing, ideas don't stop, Songs getting built while the clock tick-tocks. Tha Code on the wall, Country Savage on tracks, Built from the dirt, ain't no taking that back. Queen beside me, she done witnessed the climb, Seen the worst of the storm, stayed through the time. RIP Jay, some wounds stay deep, That's another reason why... I don't really sleep. [Hook] The streets never sleep, Lights still moving when the whole world's dreaming. The streets never sleep, Somebody watching, somebody scheming. From the midnight run to the sunrise creep, Every corner got secrets that the concrete keeps. I learned that code when I was knee-deep, You can close your eyes... But the streets never sleep. [Bridge] Three in the morning, Streetlamp buzzing. Car roll slow, Engine still running. Curtain move once, Dog start barking. Whole block quiet... But something still starting. That's the part people don't understand. Silence don't mean nothing's happening. [Verse 3] Now the hustle got purpose, I'm building a name, Took everything broken and fed it the flame. Every scar got a lesson, every loss left code, Every mile through hell put weight in my soul. I don't glorify the nights that nearly took me, But I won't erase the things that they taught me. How to read body language, watch what ain't said, How to see trouble forming three moves ahead. Sun comes up, but the cycle repeats, Morning workers trade places with the night on the street. Different faces, same pavement beneath, Same concrete breathing underneath your feet. So when somebody asks why I'm always locked in, Why my mind keeps turning when another day ends, It's simple. I came from a place where rest ain't cheap. [Final Hook] The streets never sleep, Even sunrise don't stop that breathing. The streets never sleep, Every block got a pulse and a meaning. I took what I learned and I planted it deep, Turned survival to drive, turned the drive to a dream. Now Tha Code stays moving seven days a week... Because I learned from the streets... And the streets never sleep. [Outro] Status: active. Still locked in. Different life. Same awareness. Tha Code Records. Country Savage. The streets never sleep.
