Victory

[Chopped vocal sample] “don’t look back… don’t look back…”

⸻

Grey sky mornings, I don’t see the sun,

Cold blocks talking, everybody run,

Money on the table but it fades too quick,

Whole city in the cycle, same old script.

Pressure in my chest, but I still move calm,

Enemies around me, I don’t sound the alarm,

Grew up where the sirens sang me to sleep,

Now I write the pain on the bassline deep.

⸻

Through the noise, I hear the call,

Rising up, I can’t let fall,

Lost in shadows, still I fight,

Cold streets burning in the night.

[Last line echoes, chopped]“burning in the night… night… night”

⸻

Brick by brick, we built from dust,

Trust no soul, only move with trust,

Eyes on the prize but the road gets rough,

Every scar on my skin says I’ve had enough.

Dreams on hold but the time feels near,

Voices in the dark still ring my ear,

Life don’t wait, better take that lap,

Write my fate on a beat, no cap.

⸻

Through the noise, I hear the call,

Rising up, I can’t let fall,

Lost in shadows, still I fight,

Cold streets burning in the night.
