Three AM Wrong Block

[Verse 1]
Three AM, I creep through the cut
Wrong block, wrong face, wrong luck
Chain on his neck, cash in the fold
Ran up too quick, got bold, got cold
I got the drop when he paused by the gate
Seen the shine, seen the watch, seen the weight
Masked up, low step, hand on my hip
One look at the door, then I moved on the strip
He reached, I circled, told him, “Don’t move”
Tension in the air, make a bad move lose
Then I seen my sister by his side in the dark
My whole chest dropped, that hit like a spark

[Pre-Chorus]
I froze for a second, had to check my tone
Same blood in the room, same skin, same home
He looked at me stiff, I looked at him hard
Three AM truth in the wrong front yard

[Chorus]
Wrong block, wrong time
Three AM, cold line
I’m sorry, sis
I’m sorry, man
But I’m keeping this
Yeah, I’m keeping that
Wrong block, wrong time
Three AM, cold line

[Verse 2]
I backed up a step, said, “My fault, for real”
But my hand still stayed where the cold cash feel
He shook like, “Bro, you know who this be?”
I said, “I see it now, but don’t play with me”
Told him keep quiet, no scene, no shout
Don’t make it worse, just breathe it out
Took the rocks off clean, took the bills from the coat
Every move was precise, every word that I wrote
Not a long conversation, just a hard look shared
One bad turn made the whole night bare
I knew that face, knew that braid, knew that scar
Now I’m out with the bag while they still in the yard

[Bridge]
Three AM hum, and the block stayed still
I ain’t here for the love, I’m here for the thrill
He can keep the pride, I keep what I took
One wrong step, one wrong street, one wrong look

[Chorus]
Wrong block, wrong time
Three AM, cold line
I’m sorry, sis
I’m sorry, man
But I’m keeping this
Yeah, I’m keeping that
Wrong block, wrong time
Three AM, cold line

[Outro]
Three AM fade, I’m gone through the lane
He got the apology, I got the chain
Wrong neighborhood, and that’s how it went
One bad night, and the money got spent
