[Intro]
Nighttime skies
Gray and quiet
Street so still
But my pulse riot
[Verse 1]
Pull my hood low
Eyes on every corner
Every step measured
I grew up as a warner
Cold in my chest
Warm metal on my waistline
Every shadow talking
Every echo on the same grind
Hungry in my bones
Smell fear like a perfume
If you in my way
You chose your own tomb
Killer or the carcass
Nothing in between
Red drip on concrete
I keep my conscience clean
[Chorus]
Release the beast
Let the fever rise
Animal instincts
In these bloodshot eyes
It’s killer be killed
In this deadly sky
Hunting for my prey
Let the phoenix fly
[Verse 2]
Slow walk
Soft step
I move like a rumor
You pray for a savior
I answer with a Ruger [low vocal register]
Teeth sharp
Heart black
I was raised in the ruins
Only law I ever learned
Do or you get ruined
Smoke in my lungs
But my aim stay steady
When the pressure mount
I been born
I been ready
Claws out the cage
Hear the talons scrape
You either stand and face me
Or beg the dark for escape
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Ash on my hands
Feathers in the gutter
Blood on my name
Hear the city shudder
I crash
I burn
Then I rise on the crime
[whispered vocals] Say a prayer for your soul
While I’m taking your time
[Chorus]
