[Verse]
Shadows move, whispers creep through the alley
Knife-edge glint, trust broke in the valley
Handshake turned to a blade in my spine
Silent killers, sipping venom like wine
No crown for the loyal, just thorns in the dirt
Smiles fake as the logos on counterfeit shirts
They toast to my downfall, glasses all raised
But my scars sing louder, fire's ablaze
[Chorus]
Backstab symphony, playing on repeat
Broken strings hum where betrayal meets
Trust ain't free, got receipts in blood
Drenched in the flood, but I rise from the mud
[Verse 2]
Lies stick like gum on a summer sole
Promises hollow as a Hollywood role
I gave 'em bread, they handed me stones
Now I feast solo, kingdom my throne
Daggers in shadows, their love had teeth
Fangs in the handshake, poison beneath
I learned to dance on a razor-thin line
Turned my pain into bars, revenge in rhyme
[Bridge]
Cut me deep, but I bled out the truth
Buried my heart in a bulletproof booth
They can't kill what they don't understand
Phoenix from ashes, mic in my hand
