Cold Steel Silence

Black hoodie

Dusk time

Old scars in my bloodline

Hands shake

But the aim fine

Heart colder than the stop sign

Rivals in the rearview

Red dot on the clear view

Whole block know the curfew

Wrong move and it’s shirts new

Murder on my mind

But the city stay quiet

Steel in my palm

You don't really want to try it

Talk that war

Then you better stand by it

Rivals in the dark

One spark

Then it’s silence

Murder on my mind

But the city stay quiet

Rivals in the dark

One spark

Then it’s silence

Phone buzz

It’s a green light

Quick word

Then a lean right

Back seat got the team tight

One call turn to long nights

Cold breath in a long stairwell

Eyes peeled

This a small hell

Used to dream ’bout a big deal

Now I count who I outlive

Circle getting smaller every season

Every scar on my skin got a reason

Said we’d make it out

Still scheming

Whole lot of pain

But I’m breathing
