[Intro – distorted drop-in / scream ad-libs]
Hands up
Wrong place
Wrong time
Freeze
[Verse 1 – fast trap-metal rap]
Pre-dawn knock, house still breathing
Boots hit stairs, panic leaking
Mama praying through drywall thin
Kids hold breath, hope caves in.
Worked all night, back bent sore
Paid them taxes, still want more
Papers prove why you are here
Like blood and sweat don’t count as years
Sirens quiet when families cry
Cold eyes pass, don’t ask why
Life in bags, zip it fast
Whole damn future in the past
Warm home flips to a crime scene
Love gets lost in a legal screen
Knock split time, crack the frame
Everything before ain’t the same
(ad-libs: “DOWN!” “MOVE!” “NOW!”)
⸻
[Hook – screamed / mosh section]
ICE COLD SYSTEM — HEART OF STEEL
RIP A HOME FOR A NUMBER, NOT REAL
PAPERS OR CHAINS — SAME DAMN CAGE
DIFFERENT INK, SAME DAMN PAIN
ICE COLD SYSTEM — FEAR ON SIGHT
CALL IT LAW WHILE THE KIDS CRY NIGHT
CALL IT CLEAN, CALL IT RIGHT
BLOOD ON PAPER EVERY TIME
⸻
[Verse 2 – double-time / bounce]
The bus is still running, seats stay empty.
Birthday candles burn unsteady
The phone won’t ring, the clock won’t move.
Waiting rooms full of truth
Courtroom talk in printed lies
Numbers stand where names should rise.
Barcode scans for human lives
“Temporary” that never dies
Headlights flash, neighbors flinch
Even legal nerves get pinched
Fear in lungs with every breath
Slow chokehold, social death
Trust gone quiet, the order said.
Safety sold as fear instead
City loud but souls on mute
Whole block stuck in survival mode
⸻
[Hook – layered screams + chant]
ICE COLD SYSTEM — TRIGGER READY
TEACH SILENCE BEFORE ABCs
CALL IT LAW, CALL IT CLEAN
SCREAM THAT SHIT FOR THE IN-BETWEEN
ICE COLD SYSTEM — MISFIRE MODE
BADGE + FEAR = BODIES ON ROAD
WRITE THE RULES, NEVER BLEED
WATCH THE STREETS PAY THE FEE
⸻
[Bridge – breakdown / stomp]
People — not files
Lives — not lines
Justice doesn’t freeze
When it kills from behind
Fear ain’t safe
Guns ain’t peace
Power unchecked
BLEEDS THE STREETS
(kick drop)
⸻
[Verse 3 – rapid / aggressive]
Hands where they say, still not safe
Fear pulls the trigger, seals her fate.
No weapon shown, no last sound
Just broken glass on sacred ground
Name still echoes down the block.
In prayers, tears, and sidewalk chalk
Headline spin, report erase
Another family left to face
Another “justified,” another file
Another child waits every mile.
⸻
[Final Verse – MAX SPEED / TRAP METAL FINALE]
Car pulled over, baby inside
Tear gas fired, nowhere to hide
Windows shut, lungs too small
No chance to run, no chance at all
Barely learned how to breathe
Taken by force it couldn’t see
They call it control, they call it law.
But no damn paper explains that loss
Parents screaming, voices gone
Sirens fade, damage “done”
This ain’t politics, this is grief.
This is blood beneath the beat.
Cold laws signed by distant hands
While families pay what they never planned
⸻
[Outro – scream → cut
