code of honor - promoe 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 c-ke 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]

[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]
