[Intro]
Door cracked
Whole block blacked out
Gloves tight
Heart on blackout
[Verse 1]
Van lights off at the corner
Hood up, chin on the zipper line
Breathe slow, checking the mirror
Crew quiet, all on a different time
Blue tape on the window latch
Old code scribbled in my notes
One buzz on the prepaid burner
That means “move” and nothing else spoke
[Chorus]
After midnight, when the world stay sleep
We slide through alleys, where the secrets keep
If the floorboard creak, then we freeze, don’t breathe
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team
After midnight, we don’t pray, we scheme
Every red light feel like a laser beam
If the porch light flick, then we gone, unseen
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Curtains thin, see the blue TV glow
Dog bark twice, then it fades to a yawn
One step, two step, heel to the toe
Kitchen tile cold like a morgue at dawn
Drawer full of unpaid letters
We ain’t here to read their pain
But the kids’ shoes by the heater
Hit my chest, make it hard to stay the same (uh)
[Chorus]
After midnight, when the world stay sleep
We slide through alleys, where the secrets keep
If the floorboard creak, then we freeze, don’t breathe
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team
After midnight, we don’t pray, we scheme
Every red light feel like a laser beam
If the porch light flick, then we gone, unseen
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team (hungry team)
[Bridge]
What’s the price tag on a conscience?
Couple gold chains in a box by the bed
We leave fingerprints on the silence
Can’t wash off what’s stuck in my head
If the sirens sing, do we listen?
Or outrun every lesson we missed?
Crew ride out with the engine hissing
But I’m stuck on that pair of tiny kicks (yeah)
[Chorus]
After midnight, when the world stay sleep
We slide through alleys, where the secrets keep
If the floorboard creak, then we freeze, don’t breathe
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team
After midnight, we don’t pray, we scheme
Every red light feel like a laser beam
If the porch light flick, then we gone, unseen
It’s just me and my sins and my hungry team (after midnight)
