The shake and ache

Intro (Spoken / Filtered)

Yeah…

3 a.m., streetlights hummin’

Same pain, different night…

⸻

Verse 1 (UK Cadence Rap)

It’s the scars scattered like stars on the ends I roam,

Cold blocks, cracked phones, still tryna phone home,

Train line rattlin’, mind stuck in a loop,

Same thoughts, same wars, different pair of boots.

Mum said “pray more,” but the rent still due,

Heart full of hope but it’s dented too,

Man get fake love when the buzz look near,

Soon as the light fade they disappear.

I been walkin’ through smoke with my hood real low,

Got pain in my chest I don’t let man know,

Smile for the snap but the truth get buried,

Same street raised me, same street scary.

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Melodic UK Flow)

Late nights, no sleep, still pacing the roooad

Too much weight on my soul, I’m carryin’ looooads

They don’t hear me ‘til the track get plaayed

But I been cryin’ in the dark for daaays

⸻

Chorus (High-Pitch / Stretched / UK Melody)

It’s the scaaaars, scattered like staaaars ✨

Streetlights flicker show me who you aaare

I been draaaained, tryna go too faaaar

Still breathe pain through my baaars

Scaaaars, scattered like staaaars

Wishin’ on wounds in the daaark

If I fall don’t say it was aaart

I survived every cut to the haaaarrrt

⸻

Verse 2 (UK Drill-Influenced)

Seen man lose bro to a knife and a lie,

Same night he swore he was “good,” next cry,

Blue lights wash all the blood from the kerb,

While the system act blind, never learn.

Got brothers doin’ time for a moment of rage,

Got girls say they love me but hate my pain,

I don’t trust hugs, they come with a fee,

Everybody wants light but they run from the heat.

I talk to myself when the mirror look back,

Ask “who you be if the music go flat?”

Would they still hear me if I spoke no bars?

Or am I only worth pain and scars?

⸻

Bridge (Half-Time / Emotional)

I don’t wanna die,

I just wanna feeeel

If I show my heart,

Will they make it reeeal?

⸻

Final Chorus (Bigger / Airy UK Hook)

It’s the scaaaars… scattered like staaaars 🌌

Cold world shaped me, left maarks

I been loooost but I learnt the daaark

Turned my hurt to a spark

Scaaaars… scattered like staaaars

Every tear got a place in the aaart

If I fade don’t forget who we aaare

We was built from the broken paaarts

⸻

Outro (Spoken)

Same scars…

Different constellations.

Still here.
