About This Track

'The Code' pairs King Von with Polo G over a track that maps the street logic of loyalty and silence. Von's chorus stakes the terms: those who get caught keep their mouths shut, those who talk face consequences that ripple outward to everyone they love. The song treats omertà not as philosophy but as survival mechanism, the difference between a long sentence and a life sentence. Polo G's verse arrives with a sharper edge, picking apart the performative gangster, the man who talks hard online but folds under pressure. Von responds with inventory: homicides, high body counts, the casual brutality of someone who has moved through violence enough to speak about it without inflection. The track doesn't glorify; it documents a code that exists whether you approve of it or not, one where a betrayal to police doesn't just end your own freedom but marks everyone connected to you for abandonment.

"The Code" is a track by King Von, from the album Welcome to O’Block, released 30th October 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

The Code

[Intro: King Von]

(Yo, Ayo)

(JTK)

Huh (These niggas know me for real)

What? (For real)

Von (Huh, Von)

[Chorus: King Von]

Rob who? Take what? You tweakin' (You tweakin')

I said it was war, lil' nigga, I mean it

I done got out the floor, who got shot? I don't know

Headshots up close, lil' nigga, I seened it

Gun got dirty, lil' nigga, I cleaned it (I cleaned it)

.45 Glock on the bottom where the beam is (Where the beam is)

If a nigga move foul then we aiming where his team is

Sitting lil' niggas down, motherfucker, you ain't mean it

Get caught, just stick to the code (Uh)

Got some niggas locked up and they know what they know (Yeah)

My homie lost trial, he'll be gone for a while (What?)

If he give up me then they letting him go (Damn)

He won't be back on the streets 'til he old (Shit)

Everyone that he love, they gon' be gone

I know some niggas that's quick to give police a tip (Huh, what?)

But my nigga, he never folded

[Verse 1: Polo G & King Von]

I don't really give a fuck what the blogs said, too official to clear up a rumor

My homie laugh hard, heard a opp was dead, guess he got a killer's sense of humor

I heard that pussy been thinking 'bout death, well, that bullet gon' stick to his mind like a tumor (Uh-huh)

Catch him and change him, look how they played him (Uh-huh), he only gangster up on his computer (Boom)

He played it foul and we gave him a pass, that don't mean we won't get on yo' ass in the future

And I won't trip when my lil' brother clutching, know how he puttin' in work with that Ruger (Grra-grra)

My sneakers Louboutin, these ain't Puma's

I got a low-end ho, she a booster

Nut on her face and I call her an Uber

He saving these hoes like his first name was Super

Now it's time to ride, is you ready or what?

Caught a few homicides, now they ain't letting up (Yeah)

Thirteen hundred shots when we ride in them trucks

Get on any side and we fucking you up

I used to trap with the gangsters and clucks

Straight in the slums where they prayin' for luck

Like I'm Giannis, I play for them bucks

Hood on my back and I came in it clutch, bitch

[Chorus: King Von]

Rob who? Take what? You tweakin' (Von)

I said it was war, lil' nigga, I mean it (Uh-huh)

I done got out the floor, who got shot? I don't know (Who)

Headshots up close, lil' nigga, I seened it (Damn, boom)

Gun got dirty, lil' nigga, I cleaned it (Yeah)

.45 Glock on the bottom where the beam is (Uh-huh)

If a nigga move foul then we aiming where his team is

Sitting lil' niggas down, motherfucker, you ain't mean it

Get caught, just stick to the code (Uh)

Got some niggas locked up and they know what they know

My homie lost trial, he'll be gone for a while (He gone?)

If he give up me then they letting him go (Damn)

He won't be back on the streets 'til he old (Nah)

Everyone that he love, they gon' be gone (Nah, nah)

I know some niggas that's quick to give police a tip

But my nigga, he never folded

[Verse 2: King Von]

I got my first hundred thou' and I broke it down

With my team, boy, I am so goated

I always stuck out in the crowd when I was a child (Yeah)

I was special and my mama noticed (They knew it)

That nigga cool, but Von, he the coldest (Brrr)

I live my life like a book and I wrote it (Uh-huh)

I drop a song, then these niggas quote it (Uh-huh)

If he lookin' for me, I'm probably where his ho is (Yeah)

Only fuck bitches that's bad, ain't got no kids (Yeah)

I'm going crazy like I ain't got no sense (Yeah, yeah)

You in that car and that bitch ain't got no tint (Huh?)

We pulling up and we letting off four knicks (Rrrah, rrrah)

Don't need cap credit we giving out facelifts

He breathing hard, don't think he gon' make it (Boom, boom)

I chopped the block up and ain't have my face mask (Boom, boom)

So I'ma stay in, that's how my day end (Boom, boom)

Say he a heavy, we see at the weigh-in (We see)

He want a song or a verse, gotta pay then (Yeah, huh?)

Don't see me stopping, don't know where my brakes is (Nah)

Only want blues, man I’m starting to get racist

Shit be getting real in that field and them chases

Can't go back now, I got too many cases (Skrrt, skrrt, nah)

You don't look for me and see too many faces (Bitch, bitch)

Nigga, you in the way, and bitch, I'm your replacement (Bah, bah, bah, boom)

[Chorus: King Von]

Rob who? Take what? You tweakin'

I said it was war, lil' nigga, I mean it

I done got out the floor, who got shot? I don't know

Headshots up close, lil' nigga, I seened it

Gun got dirty, lil' nigga, I cleaned it (I cleaned it)

.45 Glock on the bottom where the beam is (Where the beam is)

If a nigga move foul then we aiming where his team is

Sitting lil' niggas down, motherfucker, you ain't mean it

Get caught, just stick to the code (Uh)

Got some niggas locked up and they know what they know (Yeah)

My homie lost trial, he'll be gone for a while (What?)

If he give up me then they letting him go (Damn)

He won't be back on the streets 'til he old (Shit)

Everyone that he love, they gon' be gone

I know some niggas that's quick to give police a tip (Huh, what?)

But my nigga, he never folded (Nah)
