Shadows of the Streets

In the shadows, moving silent, ruling streets beneath the city lights

Boss of the block, untouchable, in the dark, I claim my rights

From the bottom to the summit, fear's my badge, respect my name

Family close, enemies lurk, in this game, I stake my claim

Walking through the city’s veins, eyes cold, watching all the moves

Money flows in endless streams, foreign banks, my silent grooves

Politicians come, they seek my aid, leverage in my hands they trust

Too much wealth accumulated, in the shadows, I adjust

Step in my lane, better think twice, or face the storm that I spawn

Respect is earned, fear’s the currency, in this game, I carry on

Movement in the shadows, boss of the streets of New York

Mob figure, from the bottom, rising, deadly when I talk

Fear demands respect, step aside, or watch your world drop

Family is my fortress, enemies all around, ready to pop

See every move this city makes, my eyes in every corner

Alliances are fleeting, trust is thinner than a mourner

Too much money, offshore accounts, secrets deep in vaults

Power’s in my hands, I’m untouchable, nobody halts

In the darkness, I remain, Manhattan's king without a crown

Watching, waiting, plotting moves, never backing down

From the shadows, I rise, in this concrete jungle’s core

Boss of all the streets, legend, feared forevermore
