(Verse 1)
I run through alleys where the shadows speak,
Truth is a needle in a world so weak.
Mirrors cracked, but they still show my face,
Scars on my arms mark the runnin’ race.
Bullets of lies fly, I dodge and weave,
The hood taught me early how to never leave.
Promises fade like smoke in the night,
I chase the real while they chase the hype.
The clock ticks loud, my heartbeat pounds,
Lost in illusions, digging through the ground.
Streetlights flicker like the lies they sell,
I learned the hard way that the truth won’t yell.
My story’s a storm, my mind is the rain,
I bleed on these bars to break off the chain.
Every step forward, a ghost in my past,
Chasing the truth like it’s my last.
(Chorus):
I chase the truth, no mask, no disguise,
Through smoke and mirrors, I see through the lies.
Step by step, I rise from the pain,
The story’s mine, and it’s mine to reclaim.
No chains, no fear, just the path I choose,
In a world full of noise, I will not lose.
(Verse 2)
Friends turned shadows, smiles hid the knife,
Every betrayal just sharpened my life.
The street whispers secrets, but few will tell,
I walk on fire, but I survive the hell.
Truth is a ghost that I keep in my hand,
Slipping like water through this broken land.
I see the lies in the eyes of the blind,
But my vision’s clear when I free my mind.
I’ve lost some dreams, but I found my soul,
The pieces of me are what make me whole.
No gold or fame can replace the fight,
I keep running forward through the darkest night.
The beat slows down, but my heart still knows,
The path to the truth is the thorn I chose.
(Outro)
So I walk slow now, lessons in my chest,
The truth I chased made me stronger, not less.
In the end, it’s not what you take or gain,
It’s finding yourself through the struggle and pain.
(Verse 3 ) Shadows on the wall, I hear them talk,
Lies in the street, like ghosts that stalk.
Mirrors show faces that I don’t recognize,
But the scars on my hands tell no lies.
Life keeps testing, tries to break my stride,
But every fall taught me how to survive.
Illusions are chains, I learned to unbind,
The truth is the key I was meant to find.
Every betrayal carved a map in my mind,
Every mistake left a mark I could find.
I see through the smoke, I see through the haze,
I’m chasing the truth through the darkest maze. Heart made of steel, eyes sharp as knives, nothing can stop me, I’m taking my life.
Every word is a bullet aimed at the fake, I keep moving forward, no matter the stake.
In the end, it’s not what you own or gain,
But finding yourself through the struggle and pain.Nights full of sirens, echoes in my chest,
Every lie I uncover puts me to the test.
Streets whisper secrets, shadows speak in code I walked through the fire carrying my load Searching for the truth in every rhyme
(Decreasing) Silence speaks louder than lies they tell, The truth you chase will always dwell.
Step by step, the path is your own,
Keep running, keep fighting, until it’s shown.
