Loyalty

[Intro – Spoken, cinematic tone, with call & response delivery] [Voice 1 (deep, deliberate):] Semper Fi… [Voice 2 (echoes, softer):] Loyalty for life. [Voice 1:] Blood in… blood out. [Voice 2:] Never a doubt. [Voice 1:] 1% ‘til I die. [Voice 2:] Ride or die, I testify. [Voice 1:] First in… [Voice 2:] Last out. [Voice 1 (pauses, then affirms):] My brother’s keeper. [Voice 2 (final echo):] We fight the reaper. [Verse 1 – Rap / Flow] Ride for the ones who rode when it hurt, Hands in the dirt, still loyal to the work. My creed ain't ink—it’s burned in bone, I’m there when you’re wounded, lost, or alone. Got scars like stories, code of the street, “Ride or die” deep in the rhythm I keep. Semper Fi carved where the cowards won’t look— Loyalty’s the vow they can’t write in a book.” [Chorus – Sung, soulful & strong] Loyal to the code, never break, never fold, Through the fire, through the cold, I hold. Blood don't make you kin, truth told— It's who stayed silent when your secrets got sold. We don't bend, we don’t bow, It’s not just then—it’s here and now. My word, my bond, my soul endowed — Loyal to the code, say it loud. [Verse 2 – Street wisdom meets philosophy] Cicero said it’s noble, Nietzsche called it blind, But loyalty’s the gold when the world’s unkind. Omertà in the silence, Bushido in my stance, A brother’s keeper with a devil’s glance. I seen snakes kiss rings, then talk behind backs, I seen love get lost where the loyalty lacks. But I stand like Sparta, fight like Rome, Truth ain't loud—it walks you home. [Bridge – over stripped beat] Not every knight wears armor. Not every king needs a throne. But the ones who stand beside you When you’re weak… That’s home. [Final Chorus – Full beat, anthemic feel] Loyal to the code, never bought, never sold, Not for diamonds, not for gold. Blood ain't thicker than the ones that stayed, Through the war, through the shade, unafraid. We don’t kneel, we rise as one, With no retreat, and no rerun. In the end, when the story’s done Loyalty is what we become. [Outro – Angry] This we'll defend I belong to the people who stayed when the Wolves began to descend.
