[Intro – Tems-style hook, airy & soulful]
Yeah, yeah… mmm…
Ooh, ooh… yeah-yeah…
[Hook – Tems/A Boogie blend]
Neon lights, but I’m lost inside
Diamonds shine, but they can’t heal my mind
City’s loud, but I’m quiet tonight
I’ve been fightin’ demons under street signs
Neon nights, got me numb again
Love’s a drug, I might overdose in sin
Skyscrapers can’t reach where I’ve been
I’m still prayin’ for the day I win
⸻
[Verse 1 – A Boogie style, melodic pain rap]
Windows tinted, ridin’ slow through the East Side
Shorty hit my phone, I left that text on “read” tonight
Too much on my chest, I don’t ever really sleep right
Money stackin’ tall but I still don’t feel the peace, right?
Yeah, I’m drownin’ in this Henny, tryna clear my soul
Every scar another story that was never told
I gave love, got hurt — now my heart too cold
City lights can’t fill the spaces that the pain controls
⸻
[Hook – Tems-style, layered harmonies]
Neon lights, but I’m lost inside
Diamonds shine, but they can’t heal my mind
City’s loud, but I’m quiet tonight
I’ve been fightin’ demons under street signs
Neon nights, got me numb again
Love’s a drug, I might overdose in sin
Skyscrapers can’t reach where I’ve been
I’m still prayin’ for the day I win
⸻
[Verse 2 – Sleepy Hallow gritty bounce flow]
Look…
Dark tint, can’t see what I’m holdin’
City never sleep, so my heart still broken
Keep the pain tucked deep, but the weed got me open
If loyalty’s dead, then the love just a token
I been ridin’ with the Glock by the moonlight glow
Enemies lurkin’, they don’t really want smoke
Talkin’ pain in my lines, that’s the only thing I know
From the gutter to the stars, I can’t let this thing go
⸻
[Bridge – Tems airy vocals]
Ohhh, I can’t run from me…
Ohhh, it’s the city that bleeds…
I still chase what I can’t keep…
Every night it’s the same damn dream…
⸻
[Hook – Full layered outro]
Neon lights, but I’m lost inside
Diamonds shine, but they can’t heal my mind
City’s loud, but I’m quiet tonight
I’ve been fightin’ demons under street signs
Neon nights, got me numb again
Love’s a drug, I might overdose in sin
Skyscrapers can’t reach where I’ve been
I’m still prayin’ for the day I win
