Ezzy Elliott - Echoes Lyrics

Yeah Niggas live from the heart of where it all started
Back in the day when dreams were merely charted

Ohfug ohfug ohfug ohfug ohmy oh my god offugfugk fugk fugk fugk fugk oh no

Echoes of the ghetto whispering past tales

Where dreams were shot down and survival prevails

Thought I heard them say something but silence speaks volumes
In this game of life resilience consumes

Echoes echoes bouncing off the concrete

Echoes of the ghetto whispering past tales
Where dreams were shot down and survival prevails
Thought I heard them say something but silence speaks volumes
In this game of life resilience consumes
Echoes echoes bouncing off the concrete
Grew up from the street now we standing on our feet
Echoes echoes echoes echoes
From the block to the beats watch how my story unfolds

Grew up in the shadows of giants where the cold streets whisper
Lessons in every corner life couldn't be crisper
From playing tag with fate to dodging the hate
Learning the value of a plate in a world that can't wait
Had dreams bigger than the city eyes wide with pity
From the depths of the gritty to spitting this ditty
We ran the streets with ambition our only mission
To break free from tradition a scholar's transition

Remember the nights the fights the siren lights
The wrongs and the rights climbing to new heights
It was all about survival reading the Bible
Verses for revival against all rivals
Caught a vibe made it a tribe we don't subscribe
To the lies wearing a disguise truth in our eyes
From scraps to raps from laps to perhaps
Turning maps into caps now watch how it unwraps

Echoes of the block whispering past tales
Where dreams were shot down and survival prevails
Thought I heard them say something but silence speaks volumes
In this game of life resilience consumes
Echoes echoes bouncing off the concrete
Grew up from the street now we standing on our feet
Echoes echoes echoes echoes
From the block to the beats watch how my story unfolds

Now I'm here shedding a tear for years that sear
The pain and the fear making it all clear
Niggas in my heart but wisdom in my art
From the start played my part tearing charts apart
It's more than just the bling it's about the sting
Of rising and fall and the lessons it'll bring
From nothing to something always puffing never bluffing
In this life of cuffing constantly adjusting

So here's to the streets that raised us
To the nights that amazed us
To the future that awaits no fuss no muss
Just us riding the bus to success plus
Here's to the echoes the stories we tell
From the street to the world we're breaking the spell
Here's Johnny but this ain't no horror show
It's the story of a glow from the get-go now you know
