Intro)Yeah…Welcome to Pittsburgh after darkWhere the bridges don’t connect… they trap
(Verse 1)I was cruising past the river, saw the water look thickLike it swallowed whole souls and it ain’t get sickThen I heard “chh-chh” echo off the pier real slickTurned around too slow… now I’m part of the script
Dream got fuzzy, now I’m running through a boiler roomLaugh cut sharp like a blade through a silver spoonFinger knives tapping rhythms, yeah they sing in tuneIf I trip, I don’t wake… it’s a permanent snooze
Now I’m back on the street, but the vibe ain’t rightEvery shadow standing still but it breathing like lifeWhite mask, no face, just a tilt, slight leanHe don’t rush, he just arrives like a scene unseen
(Hook)Night shift killers on a Steel City runFreddy got your sleep, Jason got the drumMichael in the cut, yeah he moving real numbBy the time you react… man, the damage is done
Night shift killers, yeah they hunt for sportThree different roads but they meet at your doorYou can scream all you want, you can pray, you can runBut in Pittsburgh at night… they already won
(Verse 2)Tunnel got me boxed, headlights flick then dieRadio cut static like it know I’m ’bout to fryRearview mirror show a figure don’t blinkTurn around fast… now he closer than you think
Steel mill skeletons creak when the wind pass throughLike the whole city whisper, “yeah, they coming for you”Footsteps off-beat, but they land on timeLike a metronome ticking down the end of your line
Freddy crack jokes while he carving your fearJason don’t talk, just make presence appearMichael like silence weaponized in a stareYou don’t hear him move… but he already there
(Bridge)Three styles of death, three ways to goOne in your mind, one fast, one slowPick your poison, but you don’t get to chooseIn the Steel City night… everybody lose
(Verse 3)Now I’m sprinting up the bridge, lungs burning like steelCity glowing underneath but it don’t feel realFootstep… footstep… then another behindBut I’m running from three different ends of my mind
Claw marks, mask shape, hockey blade gleamI’m awake but I’m trapped in a nightmare schemeSunrise creeping but it stall in the skyLike even daylight scared to watch me die
(Hook)Night shift killers on a Steel City runFreddy got your sleep, Jason got the drumMichael in the cut, yeah he moving real numbBy the time you react… man, the damage is done
(Outro)Yeah…So next time you out late in the ‘Burgh…And it feel a little too quiet…
That ain’t peace. That’s patience. Aaarrrrhhhh, Tayo you did it again for Pittsburgh. 4-1-2 Stand Tha Fuck Up!!!
