Title: Bet's Shadow
(Verse 1)
Yo, it started with a gamble, a harmless little game,
A cricket match bet, thought I’d earn a name.
Easy money in my pocket, the thrill in my veins,
But greed’s a tricky demon, bringing only pain.
Lured by the odds, I kept rollin’ the dice,
Dreamin’ ‘bout the riches, never thought twice.
Loan after loan, diggin’ deeper in the pit,
Lost all my cash, now I’m losin’ my grit.
(Chorus)
Bet high, lose low, my life’s on display,
Chasin’ broken dreams, throwin’ respect away.
Friends turn foes, family in despair,
Caught in this shadow, gaspin’ for air.
(Verse 2)
Yo, cricket’s the scene, stakes are hot, odds are wild,
Thought I’d be the king, but the devil just smiled.
Borrowed from my brother, my best friend too,
Now they see my calls and think, “Man, screw you.”
Disputes at the dinner table, love turnin’ cold,
All I wanted was gold, but my soul got sold.
Lost my job, lost their trust, I’m a man in chains,
This greed got me drownin’ in misery’s reigns.
