Shatterproof

Boom in the chest, that's the bassline breathing,

Heart skips a beat, got the block heat seething.

Shadow moves slick, 'round the corners creeping,

The night don't sleep, 'cause the streets stay bleeding.

Metal screams sharp, symphony of sirens,

Concrete choir, chanting cold violence.

Rooftop whispers, they echo in the fog,

The Glock’s a storyteller, writes chapters in the smog.

Beneath the lamplight, shadows play chess,

Life’s a pawn taken, no time to confess.

Knuckles tattooed with regret and revenge,

The cycle spins tight, no way to make amends.

Shatterproof, 'til the pressure cracks,

Ghosts in the alley, can't turn back.

Shatterproof, 'til the grip goes slack,

Pain in the echo, no fade to black.

Shatterproof, we ride, we clash,

The scars are deep, but the soul won't dash.

Bullet shells glitter like stars in the gutter,

Silent prayers rise, hearts grow tougher.

Beneath the chaos, a boy hums a tune,

Dreams of escape, by the light of the moon.

But the block's a cage, no key, no map,

Just survival instincts, no time to nap.

Every face a mask, every word a trap,

Trust is a phantom, it fades with the clap.

Fingers on the trigger, heartbeat slower,

Breath fogs the air, world tips lower.

Mirrors show cracks, reflections splinter,

Time feels frozen, winter after winter.

But inside the ice, a fire still flickers,

Shatterproof bones, though the pain lingers.

Shatterproof, 'til the pressure cracks,

Ghosts in the alley, can't turn back.

Shatterproof, 'til the grip goes slack,

Pain in the echo, no fade to black.

Shatterproof, we ride, we clash,

The scars are deep, but the soul won't dash.
