[Verse]
Cobblestones slick, blood mixed with the rain,
Every step a chess move, the board's insane.
Shadows talk louder than the whispers in the night,
A war zone where peace ain't in sight.
Streetlights flicker, like warning shots from the sky,
Brothers turned rivals, never questioning why.
Graffiti screams the stories no one dared to tell,
A postcode battlefield, heaven meets hell.
[Chorus]
I never start a fight, but I don’t back away,
This street’s a chessboard, I’m the knight, I don’t play.
Ruthless gangs, ruthless hands, the feud never done,
The war zone’s alive, under this cold, burning sun.
[Verse 2]
Hoodie up, eyes scanning for the lurking foe,
Every face a question mark, you never really know.
Allegiances thin as the razor blades they stash,
One wrong move, you’ll turn into ash.
Corners ain’t safe, they echo with the past,
Names etched on walls, shadows that’ll last.
It’s not about winning, it’s about holding ground,
Survive the night, to the war drum’s sound.
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel in my spine, fire in my veins,
The turf we defend comes with bloodstains.
