Corner Store Gospel

[Verse 1] I learned my name from the block side From the aunties who cooked and the old heads outside They said hold your head, keep your steps tight Stay real to your people when the check light I seen hard days turn a grin to a scar Still we passed that plate like it wasn't far Same cracked stoop, same stories, same dream We build from the crumbs and we make it a team [Hook] Corner store gospel We survive, we shine Corner store gospel We stand the test of time [Verse 2] My cousin said, "Boy, don't trade your soul cheap" "Fast money gets loud, but it don't sleep" So I moved with the truth in my back pocket Kept a calm face while the whole block watched it Young ones at the fence want a way out too So I tell them, "Keep your word, let your work speak true" A clean pair of hands and a mind that ain't shook That's more than a medal, that's a better look [Hook] Corner store gospel We survive, we shine Corner store gospel We stand the test of time [Verse 3] [Bridge bar] If the road go cold, we still warm the line [Hook] Corner store gospel We survive, we shine Corner store gospel We stand the test of time
