[Hook – Tems soulful, melodic]
City lights don’t hide my pain (oooh yeah)
Drippin’ VVS, but I’m stuck in the rain (mmm)
They never gave me the key, I found my lane (yeah, yeah)
Tryna drown my demons, but they swimmin’ again (ohhh)
⸻
[Verse 1 – A Boogie melodic rap]
I was broke with a vision, now the racks on me
From the projects to the stages, put the fam on me
Secrets in my soul, don’t repeat what I told
Loyalty’s expensive, most these bitches been sold
Made a milly fast, blew it just as quick
Typed it in Google, how to run it up legit
Now I’m drownin’ in the diamonds, water heavy on my wrist
But I still think about the nights I ain’t never have shit
⸻
[Hook – Tems vocals layered with ad-libs]
City lights don’t hide my pain (oooh yeah)
Drippin’ VVS, but I’m stuck in the rain (mmm)
They never gave me the key, I found my lane (yeah, yeah)
Tryna drown my demons, but they swimmin’ again (ohhh)
⸻
[Verse 2 – Sleepy Hallow style flow, darker tone]
Yeah, I been focused on the guap, don’t waste my time
Shorty tryna line me, but I peeped the signs
Movin’ like a shadow when I’m in the night
Still prayin’ for my soul, tryna do shit right
Everybody need love, even killers in the dark
But the streets don’t care, they just tear you apart
Lost a couple homies, put they names in my tats
Now I’m runnin’ with the money, never lookin’ back
⸻
[Bridge – Tems harmonized riff]
Ohhh, drownin’… drownin’ in my mind (in my mind)
No love, still searchin’, tryna find (tryna find)
Pray for light, but the city so blind (so blind)
I keep singin’ through the pain every time (every time)
⸻
[Hook / Outro – Tems soaring vocals, Boogie ad-libs]
City lights don’t hide my pain (oooh yeah)
Drippin’ VVS, but I’m stuck in the rain (mmm)
They never gave me the key, I found my lane (yeah, yeah)
Tryna drown my demons, but they swimmin’ again (ohhh)
[Outro fades with Tems humming + Sleepy ad-libs “yeah, yeah / facts”]
