Intro – deep, echoed ad-libs]
Woo…
Yeah…
Night time…
Look—
[Hook]
Midnight talk when the city go quiet,
Chrome heart feelings but my soul still riot,
Came from the cold, had to move in silence,
Now they see me glow, yeah, the diamonds violent.
Midnight walk, hear the sirens hum,
Whole lotta pain but I’m still that one,
They ain’t believe, now they hear my run,
From the shadows to the lights, yeah, I’m chosen, son.
[Verse 1]
I was down bad, had dreams in the basement,
Broken home but my heart still spacious,
Lost some bros to the streets, that’s tragic,
Every step I take gotta move like magic.
Big drip walk, yeah, the fit too clean,
Heavy on my chest but my vision still mean,
Mama told me “boy, don’t fold,”
So I stood ten toes in the bitter cold.
They talk tough but they never been there,
Late nights praying, nobody care,
Now they see me shine from the darkest glare,
If it’s me or them, yeah, I’m choosing fair.
[Hook]
Midnight talk when the city go quiet,
Chrome heart feelings but my soul still riot,
Came from the cold, had to move in silence,
Now they see me glow, yeah, the diamonds violent.
Midnight walk, hear the sirens hum,
Whole lotta pain but I’m still that one,
They ain’t believe, now they hear my run,
From the shadows to the lights, yeah, I’m chosen, son.
[Verse 2]
Look—
I don’t dance, but the drip make waves,
Heavy bass knockin’ like the past won’t fade,
I done lost love, I done lost days,
But I kept that fire, never lost faith.
They love you when you up, hate when you real,
Smiles turn fake when they see your meal,
I was built in the storm, yeah, forged in steel,
Heart so cold but my grind still feel.
New level talk, I don’t speak on less,
If I said it once, then I meant that stress,
From the pain I grew, now I’m next up blessed,
Yeah, I walked through hell, now I’m dressed success.
[Bridge – melodic, slowed]
Oooh…
City lights but I’m still alone,
Every scar tell a story I wrote,
If I fall, I get back up strong,
This my life, yeah, this my song.
[Final Hook – extra energy]
Midnight talk when the city go quiet,
Chrome heart feelings but my soul still riot,
Came from the cold, had to move in silence,
Now they see me glow, yeah, the diamonds violent.
Midnight walk, hear the sirens hum,
Whole lotta pain but I’m still that one,
They ain’t believe, now they hear my run,
From the shadows to the lights—yeah, I’m chosen, son.
[Outro – ad-libs fading]
Woo…
Chosen…
Night talk…
Yeah…..
