Shadow in the Rearview

Ridin’ with my pain, let the speakers bleed low,

Dark clouds follow me wherever I go,

Shadows in the rearview, I can’t let it show,

Heart froze over but the flames still glow.

I been tryna numb the pain, it don’t fade with the smoke,

Every drag feel the burn, every breath feel the choke,

Broken trust in my chest, left my spirit provoked,

Prayed for peace but the silence still spoke.

Streetlights flicker on the dash of my ride,

Drownin’ in regrets with no place to confide,

She said she love me then she vanished in the night,

Now my soul locked away where the shadows reside.

Paranoia in my veins, world blur through the tint,

Every word that she gave soundin’ more counterfeit,

I been fightin’ all these demons but the scars won’t quit,

Every truth that I lost got me colder than this.

Ridin’ with my pain, let the speakers bleed low,

Dark clouds follow me wherever I go,

Shadows in the rearview, I can’t let it show,

Heart froze over but the flames still glow.

Eyes low from the stress, I been losin’ my grip,

Got a verse on my tongue, got a blade in my fist,

Every rhyme is a wound, every beat is a stitch,

Tryna heal from the past but the cuts still itch.

Whispers haunt me in the static of the late-night hum,

If I run from the truth then the pain still come,

She once called me a king but she treat me like none,

Now I fade with the smoke till the morning feels numb.

Chasin’ highs in the dark just to mask all the lows,

But the shadows know my name, they repeat what I know,

So I spill it on a track where the bassline flows,

Every secret that I hide finds a way to expose.

Ride slow, tinted windows on black,

Tryna shake off the past but it still look back,

Got a heart stitched tight but the seams still crack,

Every mile I drive just repeats what I lack.

Nights cold, still I burn, let the echo replay,

Every bar that I write is a price I pay,

I been searchin’ for the light but it fades away,

So I live with the dark like it’s meant to stay.

City silent but my thoughts still run through the maze,

Every sin that I keep got me lost in a daze,

Tryna smile in the light but the mask don’t stay,

So I drown in these beats where the basslines lay.

She was all I ever wanted, now my chest feel hollow,

Heart broke once, now the trust hard to follow,

Tryna piece it back together but the edges still swallow,

Now I bleed on the mic for the pain I wallow.

Phonk echoes in my head when the speakers hit deep,

Ghosts dance in the smoke every night I can’t sleep,

So I turn it into music when my soul can’t speak,

Every word that I drop is a promise I’ll keep.

Ridin’ with my pain, let the speakers bleed low,

Dark clouds follow me wherever I go,

Shadows in the rearview, I can’t let it show,

Heart froze over but the flames still glow.
