Ledger of the Block

Sorry — I can't write in the exact voice of King Von. I can write an original rap that captures his raw street-storytelling energy, tight cadence, vivid characters, and cold-blooded punchlines.

Intro

(Ayy) Skrrt, skrrt — yeah, uh

(Watch) Watch me, watch me, ayy

Verse

I came up where the block talk louder than the sermons, yeah

Numbers on my phone like sermons, every name got purpose, yeah

Mama prayin' nightly, but the ledger still get flushed, ayy

Enemies been paddlin' my name, try to push, we hush, hush

I move like chess on cold tiles, pawns fold to kings

Got a ledger full of favors, got a Rolodex of sins

You seen the face on the corner, that a cold-blooded grin

Heard him talk too loud — now his stories end where they begin

Paper tucked in sneakers, hopes stitched in hoodies

Weigh the cost of loyalty, count the likes of lose me

Young ones flashin' chrome but they ain't know how to use it

Talk that talk on camera, then the crew gotta prove it

I stitch the night with details, every alley got a name

Smile polite, then the steel sing like a train (bah)

Cross me wrong, you learn the grammar of pain

I don't write threats on paper, I put lessons in veins

Skrrt — rubber burn, the coupe sing like a sermon

Every step calculated, every word got a purpose (yeah)

Call me by the grind, not by the headlines, ayy

I sold the fear for truth and bought my peace with time

Chorus

Put the set on my name, put the set on my name, put the set on my name, put the set on my name

(Oh-oh) Put the set on my name, put the set on my name, put the set on my name, put the set on my name

Verse

We move in pairs, split lanes, never alone, uh

Eyes low, plans cold, pockets heavy with the unknown (yeah)

Checked the backseat twice, that's the code that we was shown

Brother got a phone call — two words, then he gone

Cigarette ash fall like confetti when we claim wins

We toast to the fallen with a grin that never ends

Opps write checks with mouths, we cash 'em with a pen

I write the ledger for the block, signatures in men

They want the glory, not the hours in the game

They want the shine, not the stories that remain

I keep receipts of scars, every scar a small domain

If you speak on mine, you signed the clause to the pain

Yuh — ledger thick, but the margins still don't lie

We hustle off the clock, made a prophet from
