[Verse]
Forty-five seconds, click and it spins,
Magazine loaded with the marks of my sins.
Forty-five moments etched deep in my soul,
Bulletproof wisdom, but the game's full of holes.
[Verse 2]
Forty-five meanings wrapped in my rhymes,
Clock ticking backward, erasing lost times.
Split-second decisions, a barrel that leans,
Forty-five truths caught up in the seams.
[Chorus]
Forty-five chambers, a cipher divides,
Each line a mirror, til my shadow collides.
Echo of the iron rings low in my dreams,
Forty-five reasons, unraveling the schemes.
[Bridge]
Forty-five lessons carved in these streets,
Cold steel whispers where the heartbeats meet.
Numbers hold power, but the math feels strange,
Forty-five shifts in a landscape of change.
[Verse 3]
Forty-five scars that I wear like a crown,
Every battle a story when the night settles down.
History repeats in the sound of percussions,
Forty-five signs buried deep in discussions.
[Outro]
Forty-five beats thumping slow through my chest,
The weight of the count, but I feel no less.
Forty-five measures, the tempo's true meaning,
Life at forty-five, and the world keeps leaning.
