Snake in the Shadows

[Intro]
Yeah, these streets, they never sleep
All the shadows, watch and creep

[Verse 1]
Late night runs, bottles in my reach
Lost in the haze, a devil's speech
Cocaine dreams, I chase the thrill
But love's a game I can't fulfill

[Pre-Chorus]
Clock's tickin', heart's poundin', no retreat
Eyes watchin', snakes lurkin' in the beat
Streets cold, trust is just a myth
Every step, a hunter, every breath a gift

[Chorus]
Street love, broken dreams, and icy screams
Bottles pop, while I chase the fleeting gleam
Too fucked up for that soft touch
Now I’m bait, just waitin' for a punch
Safe alone, runnin' outta luck
Snakes in the grass, ready to cut
Each second’s a risk, every day’s a test
This life’s a gamble, who’s the best?

[Bridge]
Robbed a smile, took a chance
Rolled the dice, and lost the dance
Lookin' for that safe place, but it’s gone
Street’s a maze, I’m just 'bout to move on

[Outro]
Lights blinding, shadows fall
Street love’s a game, I lost it all
Runnin' fast, but I can’t escape
Snake in the grass, sealed my fate
