[Verse 1]
Yo, the block hot, sun blazing, pavement sizzling
Cats on the corner, just chillin', sinning, ain't no forgiving
I see the signs, yo, the writings on the wall
Gotta stay tight, stay right, stand tall, don't fall
Street prophet flow, yeah, my tongue a sword
Cutting through the lies, every single crooked word
They chase the paper, the fame, the temporary high
But the real treasure, man, that's way up in the sky

[Chorus]
Keeping the Law, yeah, that's the code, the creed
Planting righteous seeds, watchin' 'em grow, indeed
Every step I take, gotta walk that narrow path
Dodging the devil's wrath, escaping all his math
Keeping the Law, yo, it ain't no game, no joke
Word to the wise, stay woke, or you gon' choke
On the dust of desires, the poison of the world
My banner unfurled, truth in every single swirl

[Verse 2]
They sling that venom, that sweet talk, smooth as silk
But I'm discerning, yo, separating the milk
From the spoiled cream, the dreams that turn to nightmares
Caught in the crosshairs, entangled in their snares
My mind a fortress, a bastion, built on rock
Tick-tock, time's running out, hear that clock?
Gotta move with purpose, with precision, with grace
Leaving no trace of error, keeping up the pace

[Chorus]
Keeping the Law, yeah, that's the code, the creed
Planting righteous seeds, watchin' 'em grow, indeed
Every step I take, gotta walk that narrow path
Dodging the devil's wrath, escaping all his math
Keeping the Law, yo, it ain't no game, no joke
Word to the wise, stay woke, or you gon' choke
On the dust of desires, the poison of the world
My banner unfurled, truth in every single swirl

[Bridge]
Some cats scoff, they laugh, they call me crazy
But their vision hazy, minds lazy, souls a bit hazy
I ain't here for applause, for the fleeting cheers
Just planting seeds, watering 'em with tears
For the lost souls, the broken, the downtrodden
The ones whose spirits are trodden, forgotten

[Chorus]
Keeping the Law, yeah, that's the code, the creed
Planting righteous seeds, watchin' 'em grow, indeed
Every step I take, gotta walk that narrow path
Dodging the devil's wrath, escaping all his math
Keeping the Law, yo, it ain't no game, no joke
Word to the wise, stay woke, or you gon' choke
On the dust of desires, the poison of the world
My banner unfurled, truth in every single swirl
