(Genre: dark oldschool hip-hop × street soul — 82 BPM, dusty boom-bap drums, detuned piano loop, deep male vocals)
(Mood: heartbreak, rage, betrayal, survival — love and war sharing one heartbeat)
⸻
[Intro – low spoken tone + vinyl crackle]
Yeah…
Some love kill you slow, some love pull the trigger.
Either way, you bleed.
⸻
[Verse 1 – slow, tense flow]
She said forever, now her phone don’t ring,
I gave her crown, she pawned my king.
Cold nights, blunt smoke, chrome light gleam,
I built a dream, she sold the dream.
Heart on the curb, boots in the rain,
loyalty hurt more than the pain.
I kept it real, she played the ghost,
now trust is dead — I made the toast.
(ad-lib echo: “rest in peace — love”)
⸻
[Hook – soul sample “black roses fallin’…” loops underneath]
Black roses on the dashboard,
Love died fast, couldn’t ask more.
Every kiss was a loaded word,
now I ride alone, just me and the hurt.
(repeat sample: “black roses fallin’…”)
⸻
[Verse 2 – lower voice, darker bars]
She left bloodstains on my code of honor,
now I trust steel more than a promise.
Hate ain’t love, but it feel the same,
both burn hot when you speak my name.
They said calm down — nah, I’m past that,
heart made of ashes and a combat mask.
You ever love so deep it felt like sin?
Then lose the fight before you begin.
⸻
[Bridge – beat drops to bass + piano]
(whisper tone)
No halo for me, no peace for you.
You chose the devil with the better view.
Now I toast to pain like fine wine sipped,
every lie you told still on my lips.
⸻
[Final Hook – full beat + echoes]
Black roses on the dashboard,
love don’t live here no more.
I gave my heart, you gave me war,
now I sleep with my peace on the floor.
(background chant: “black roses fallin’… fallin’…”)
⸻
[Outro – spoken fade]
Yeah…
Love ain’t sweet, it’s just a weapon with perfume.
Roses black, petals on my tomb.
