Snake in the Shadows

Yeah, these streets, they never sleep

All the shadows, watch and creep

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

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

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?

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

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
