[Intro]
Yeah, late nights, city lights, we risin’ (yeah, yeah)
Moonlit shadows, got it all but still hidin’ (it’s lit)
Confidence drippin’, mind keep dividin’ (straight up)
Questions in the dark, what’s real or just lyin’? (whoa)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Flex on these streets, watch the money pile (flex)
Heavy is the crown, can’t trust a smile (no trust)
Fake love everywhere, loyalty wild (fake)
Fame for the soul got it twisted and vile (yeah)
Eyes on my back, snakes in the grass (snakes)
Money in my hand but the pain still lasts (still)
Poison in my cup, thinkin’ ‘bout the past (lean)
Pressure buildin’ up, hope it fade fast (woo)
Locked in my mind, trust in a cage (locked)
Gold on my neck, still filled with rage (ice)
City never sleeps, demons engage (no sleep)
Tryna find peace but I’m stuck in a maze (lost)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
They see the shine, don’t feel the grind (shine)
Fake love got me losin’ my mind (mind gone)
Stars in the sky my only sign (look up)
In the dark, I’m tryna find light (yeah)
⸻
[Chorus]
Flex and reflect, I’m caught in the pain (pain)
Money and fame got me goin’ insane (insane)
Houston nights with a psychedelic stain (whoa)
Dark thoughts in my mind, can’t explain (nah)
Flex and reflect, I’m caught in the pain (pain)
Money and fame got me goin’ insane (insane)
Late-night thoughts drivin’ me insane (yeah)
In this lonely life, can’t maintain (no way)
⸻
[Verse 2]
Cruise through the night, shadows inside (skrrt)
Palm trees sway but I’m losin’ the vibe (vibe off)
World in my hands, still feel denied (damn)
Demons in my head, nowhere to hide (they there)
Livin’ too fast, ahead of my time (fast)
Stackin’ the money but losin’ my mind (racks)
Voices around me, can’t tell who real (who real?)
Heart turned cold, don’t know what I feel (cold)
⸻
[Bridge]
Chaos or peace? I can’t tell (which one?)
Mind in a war, livin’ in hell (war)
Neon lights with stories to sell (lights)
Fame got me trapped in a shell (trapped)
⸻
[Verse 3]
Late night drivin’, thoughts run wild (skrrt)
Tinted windows, pain in denial (yeah)
Diamonds hittin’ but my soul feel mild (ice)
Every win hollow, lost my smile (damn)
Lights all around but it’s dark inside (dark)
Success in reach but no peace to ride (no peace)
Tryna stay strong but I’m tired inside (tired)
Livin’ this life but feel like I died (gone)
⸻
[Chorus]
Flex and reflect, I’m caught in the pain (pain)
Money and fame got me goin’ insane (insane)
Houston nights with a psychedelic stain (whoa)
Dark thoughts in my mind, can’t explain (nah)
Lost in the vibe but I’m fightin’ the rain (fightin’)
In this lonely life, can’t maintain (no way)
⸻
[Outro]
Gritty nights, under city lights (yeah)
Smiles on my face but I’m dead inside (dead)
Voices in my head, I can’t make ‘em quiet (no peace)
Livin’ this dream but it feel like a riot (chaos)
Trust run thin, keep my circle tight (no trust)
Shadows follow me into the night (they close)
Houston soul, lost in the fight (H-Town)
Still stand tall… but I’m losin’ the light (fadin’)
