[Intro – eerie, sampled vibe]
(choir echoes, distant strings)
Shadows talk when the city go mute
Cold nights, cold hearts, truth in the booth
Yeah…
Lights flicker, spirits move
Let it breathe…
[Hook]
Midnight steps, hear the pavement whisper
Bass so low make the dark feel thicker
Heart still cold, no mercy in the picture
Smile on my face but the aura’s sinister
Drill in my walk, trap in my veins
Heavy like storms when I speak my name
Chill in the air, got ghosts in the frame
Catchy but cursed, yeah, we not the same
[Verse 1]
Came from the mud where the silence loud
Every move slow, gotta watch the crowd
Eyes stay sharp, I don’t talk too proud
‘Cause envy fly fast when you breaking out
Knuckles clenched, I don’t bluff or pose
Life taught lessons that nobody knows
Pressure build diamonds out of my bones
Heart stay black like the keys on the phone
Bassline knock like a door to fate
Wrong turn once, now it’s way too late
I don’t chase love, I negotiate
With destiny staring at a dinner plate
[Pre-Hook]
Cold wind when I breathe on the mic
Dark thoughts turn beats into rites
Step too close, better read the signs
I don’t bark loud, I just bite
[Hook]
Midnight steps, hear the pavement whisper
Bass so low make the dark feel thicker
Heart still cold, no mercy in the picture
Smile on my face but the aura’s sinister
Drill in my walk, trap in my veins
Heavy like storms when I speak my name
Chill in the air, got ghosts in the frame
Catchy but cursed, yeah, we not the same
[Verse 2]
Foreign tongues in the intro chant
Old-world strings make the spine go slant
Mind too sharp, I don’t need a plan
I adapt fast like I wasn’t planned
Streets don’t love you, they borrow your soul
Pay it back with interest, blood pressure low
I don’t flex chains, I flex control
Eyes tell stories my mouth won’t show
Enemies pray when I enter the room
Even the beat feel nervous, it boom
Silence scream louder than drums ever do
I let the tension bloom
[Bridge – half-time, airy]
No halo, no wings
Just scars and rings
Every win cost things
That money can’t bring
[Outro – whispered, eerie]
City still breathing…
I’m still awake
Yeah…
Freestyle… no escape
