City don’t sleep… it just waits
⸻
Verse 1—
Came up in corners where the light don’t stay
Same block raised me, same block made me this way
Fast money talk, but it never come clean
Every smile got a crack in the seam
He had a name but it wasn’t his own
Built off silence and a cold-ass tone
Trusted too quick in a world so sharp
Now every handshake feel like a dart
Night hit heavy, phone keep buzzin’
“One last run” — that’s how it always start somethin’
He told himself he was built for the game
But every move now feel less like fame
⸻
Hook—
Last run home, but the streets don’t let go
Every step got weight that he don’t even know
One wrong turn and it all unfold slow
Now he in too deep but he can’t say no
Last run home, yeah it sounded so clean
Till the silence got loud in between
Every choice got a price unseen
And the truth don’t care what you mean
⸻
Verse 2—
He met up quiet, no eye contact
Just coded words and a sealed-up pack
Nobody laughing, nobody relaxed
Just tension thick like a heart attack
Engine idling, time feel thin
He thinking back like “how I get in this skin?”
Every promise he made in the past
Now feel like chains that were built to last
Streetlights flicker, block feel strange
Like the whole damn world done shifted change
He ain’t scared of death—he just scared of the cost
Of everything he thought he never lost
⸻
Bridge—
Door shuts slow…
No one speaks…
Only silence knows what he keeps
⸻
Verse 3—
Then it all went quiet in a single frame
No glory, no legend, no praise, no name
Just consequences written in air
And a cold realization he wasn’t prepared
Not a hero, not a villain defined
Just a young man caught in borrowed time
Every shortcut that looked like gold
Was just a story already told
⸻
Outro—
City don’t sleep… it just moves on
Another name, another gone song
And the block keeps breathing like nothing is wrong
While the night stays cold and the streets stay long
