Ashes don't whine

Hook (melodic, dramatic, explosive)
I BEEN TALKIN’ TO THE SHADOWS IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT

Demons on my back but I’m built to fight

Heart turned black, I don’t feel that light

If they want my soul, better bring that knife

I BEEN WALKIN’ WITH THE DEAD IN MY MIND

All this pressure turned a boy divine
You say you solid but you switch with time

I was born in the mud, now the throne is mine

Verse 1 (deep voice, calm menace drill bounce)
Look

City cold, made a beast outta me

Lost friends, now it’s just loyalty

Talk tough but it’s all make-believe

When it’s pressure time, they don’t breathe

Black fit, low tone, eyes red

Seen real ones fall, that’s why I don’t beg

Trust get you crossed, that’s what mama said

Now I move like a ghost, leave ‘em all misled

Pain carved ribs into armor plates
Every closed door just built my gates

I don’t chase love, I chase fate
If it’s war outside, I’m already late

Pre-Hook (build up, louder)
WHY YOU TESTIN’ ME

YOU AIN’T BUILT LIKE ME

SIX FEET DEEP

THAT’S YOUR LEGACY

Hook (bigger, layered vocals feel)
I BEEN TALKIN’ TO THE SHADOWS IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT

Demons on my back but I’m built to fight

Heart turned black, I don’t feel that light

If they want my soul, better bring that knife

I BEEN WALKIN’ WITH THE DEAD IN MY MIND

All this pressure turned a boy divine
You say you solid but you switch with time

I was born in the mud, now the throne is mine

Verse 2 (slower bounce, grimier)
Rain fall heavy on a sinner’s coat

I don’t speak twice, I just clear my throat
They was laugh now they see I float

Ashes to ashes, that’s all she wrote

Talk slick get erased from the frame

Loyalty rare, can’t say the same

I lost blood, I gained a name

Fire in lungs, I breathe that flame

Sirens hum like a choir of steel

Street made vows that I still feel

If I crash, I crash for real

Never fake, never kneel

Bridge (scream build, chaotic energy)
I’M NOT THE ONE YOU WANNA BET AGAINST

I LOST MY HEART, THAT WAS THE TEST
YOU SWITCHED SIDES, I KEPT MY CHEST

NOW WATCH ME RISE FROM ALL THAT MESS

Final Hook (anthem style, heavy 808s)
I BEEN TALKIN’ TO THE SHADOWS IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT

Demons on my back but I’m built to fight

Heart turned black, I don’t feel that light

If they want my soul, better bring that knife

Came from the dirt, now I move like a myth

Every scar on my body a gift
If I fall, I fall like this
