[Intro – whispered]
Cabrini Green…
Concrete saints and broken dreams…
Say it once… say it twice…
By the third, you feel him breathe…
[Hook]
Candyman—say it five, don’t blink, don’t hide
Bloody mirrors tell the truth they keep buried inside
Honey drip from the hook when the myth collide
Cabrini Green where the innocent died
Candyman—urban legend, urban scar
From the bricks to the skyline, know who we are
Say his name, now the darkness start
Concrete pain leave a permanent mark
[Verse 1 – chopper flow]
Hallways humming with hunger, echoes of rage
Every crack in the mirror got history engraved
Built us up just to lock us away
Now the monster get blamed for the sins they made
Candyman born from a system that failed
Hook hand swinging with the weight of the jail
Poverty poltergeist haunting the stair
Say his name and the truth get aired
Bees buzzing in the brain when the chant get said
Every soul left forgotten get outta the dead
Not a fairy tale, not pretend
He the voice of the block they tried to end
[Hook]
Candyman—say it five, feel the temperature dive
Urban myth keep breathing every time we survive
Honeycomb homicide in the glass when you lie
Say his name, now the past come alive
Candyman—project ghost with a cause
Built from silence and broken laws
Say his name, hear the walls
Every brick still recalls
[Verse 2 – aggressive switches]
Gentrified dreams where the ghosts still roam
They erased the block but they never erased bones
Candyman ain’t evil, he evidence shown
Of what happen when the pain overgrow
Mirror reflect every body ignored
Every headline missing every name on the floor
Legend get fed when justice get stored
In a vault where the rich never open the door
Five-time chant, now the room get tense
Candyman walking where the system left dents
He revenge, he remembrance
Say his name—now you witness
[Bridge – chant]
One for the blood
Two for the fear
Three for the souls still trapped right here
Four for the silence, five appear—
Candyman… Candyman… Candyman here…
[Final Hook]
Candyman—say it five, don’t blink, don’t hide
Cabrini Green still screaming from inside
Urban myth but the pain don’t die
Say his name, now the mirror reply
Candyman… Candyman…
Say his name—now you understand
[Outro – whispered]
Legends don’t come from nowhere…
They come from what you refuse to face.
Cabrini… Candyman…
