[Verse]
Shards of dreams glitterin' where the pavements split,
4-1-9, blood drips where the engines sit,
Kids in the streets ain't just kids, they prey,
Night creeps slow, takin' innocence away.
[Chorus]
Hey, what's that sound? Broken glass, folks look around,
Every child a shadow faded, no one's safe on this ground,
Chains rattle, cries echo, silence tight like a shroud,
Evil dances in the rubble, spirits lost in the crowd.
[Verse 2]
Orange glow lamplit, shadows writhe in the night,
Truck doors slam, innocence stolen from the light,
Tales whispered low, on the outskirts of town,
No superhero here, everybody's let 'em down.
[Chorus]
Hey, what's that sound? Broken glass, folks look around,
Every child a shadow faded, no one's safe on this ground,
Chains rattle, cries echo, silence tight like a shroud,
Evil dances in the rubble, spirits lost in the crowd.
[Bridge]
Four walls, floors creak with unholy intent,
Sick deals signed quick, while the fragile are bent,
Scar tissue in the mind’s mirror, lives crushed fine,
Sippin' pain from a bottle labeled 4-1-9.
[Verse 3]
Cops don't see, or pretend they too scared to glance,
System's failure laced in every stolen chance,
So we shout, fists up, scars carried so raw,
This city breathin' pain through a broken jaw.
