(Hook – Ruby da Cherry)
Reaper round the corner, whisperin’ my name slow,
Shadows in the alley where the cold wind blow.
Eyes in the dark, I can feel that stare,
Every step I take, Death already there.
Callin’ out my soul like he know my pain,
Tryna pull me under like blood in the rain.
(Verse 1 – $lick Sloth)
I hear the footsteps echo in the void,
Soul already torn, nothin’ left to destroy.
I sleep with a blade underneath my bed,
Just to fight off the demons that live in my head.
Reaper wearin’ Prada, grin wide and slick,
Said he seen my past, now he back with a list.
Tickin’ clocks talkin’, say my time run thin,
But I been dead inside, where do I begin?
(Bridge – Ruby da Cherry)
Corner of my eye, see the figure in the smoke,
Whispers like a prayer, every word I choke.
Callin’ out my name, but it don’t sound right,
Like it came from the grave in the middle of the night.
(Verse 2 – $lick Sloth)
Darkness ain’t a place, it’s a feelin’ I live,
Reaper got a grip, and he never forgive.
He say, “Why you run, when you called me first?”
Now he followin’ my steps like I’m stuck with a curse.
Mirror crackin’ slow, can’t face myself,
Tryna numb this pain, bottle on the shelf.
Life’s a tightrope walkin’ over brimstone seas,
And the Reaper got patience, he don’t ever leave.
(Break – Distorted Vocal Sample, ambient reverb)
“Every time you blink… I’m closer.
You don’t die once… you die slower.”
(echoes and fades into next verse)
(Verse 3 – Ruby da Cherry)
I see him in the TV static, silhouette flicker,
In the corner of my mind, that void growin’ thicker.
Try to scream but it’s silent, dream turn violent,
Pulse like a drum and my thoughts stay defiant.
He say I’m marked, got my name in red,
With a date and a time that’s etched in my head.
But I ain’t goin’ quiet, not sinkin’ alone,
If I gotta face the Reaper, I’ll carve it in stone.
(Verse 4 – $lick Sloth)
Yeah, lights out, hear the whispers crawl,
Through the walls of my mind where the dead still call.
I made peace with the pain, with the cold, with the rain,
With the fact that my shadow don’t move the same.
He close like breath, got a grip on my chest,
But I spit in the void, I don’t beg for rest.
If he want me, he better come correct—
I done danced with the devil, what you think I expect?
(Verse 5 – Ruby da Cherry)
Been flirtin’ with death since the cradle creaked,
Now I walk through hell just to hear him speak.
Said my soul’s on loan, been past due,
But I smile in the dark like, “That’s old news.”
Runnin’ from the voices that echo my sin,
But I lace up my boots and I dive back in.
I ain’t scared of the scythe or the blood it brings—
I just pray when I fall that I grow my wings.
(Final Hook – Both)
Reaper round the corner, whisperin’ my name slow,
Shadows in the alley where the cold wind blow.
Eyes in the dark, I can feel that stare,
Every step I take, Death already there.
Callin’ out my soul like he know my pain,
Tryna pull me under like blood in the rain.
Never slacking ,always stacking
I’m out…..
