Hook
City raised me feral, concrete in my veins
Sirens sang lullabies, taught me how to feel pain
They built me out of pressure, out of hunger, out of fear
Now they point at me like I’m the problem here
World turned cold, yeah, it taught me how to kill
Not for thrills, just survival, just the will
I was human once, now I’m something they fear
World turned me into a killer, then disappeared
Verse 1
Born under flickering lights and eviction notices
Hope on layaway, dreams with no witnesses
Teachers said “behave,” cops said “don’t exist”
Every rule bent different if your skin don’t fit
Stomach talking louder than the preachers did
Empty fridge made a philosopher outta kids
Moral compass spinning when the rent past due
Tell me what you’d choose when it’s them or you
Glass towers laughing while the gutters flood
They monetize the trauma, call it “in the blood”
I learned real quick mercy don’t pay the toll
So I buried that voice, yeah, I buried my soul
Hook
City raised me feral, concrete in my veins
Sirens sang lullabies, taught me how to feel pain
They built me out of pressure, out of hunger, out of fear
Now they point at me like I’m the problem here
World turned cold, yeah, it taught me how to kill
Not for thrills, just survival, just the will
I was human once, now I’m something they fear
World turned me into a killer, then disappeared
Verse 2
Every headline need a villain, guess I fit the frame
They sell my face for clicks, never say my name
A product of neglect, of a system cracked
But accountability never circles back
I didn’t wake up craving blood on my hands
I woke up broke, with a clock and a plan
When the law’s just a fence for the poor to climb
And justice moves slow unless you buying time
Friends turn ghosts, either jailed or gone
Candles on sidewalks, another sad song
I talk to the night like it owe me peace
But the night just echoes: “Do what you need”
Bridge
If I’m a monster, check who made me
Who fed me rage and then blamed me
You watered the soil with lies and decay
Don’t act surprised by what grew this way
Hook
City raised me feral, concrete in my veins
Sirens sang lullabies, taught me how to feel pain
They built me out of pressure, out of hunger, out of fear
Now they point at me like I’m the problem here
World turned cold, yeah, it taught me how to kill
Not for thrills, just survival, just the will
I was human once, now I’m something they fear
World turned me into a killer, then disappeared
Outro
If I fall tonight, don’t call me cursed
Call me a chapter you never reversed
I’m not the ending, I’m the proof
That the world pulls triggers too
