Shadows

(Intro – whispered, dark synth) Yeah… yeah… Grrt… uh… City never sleeps, nah… never sleeps… (Verse 1) Step in the rain, my boots hit concrete, Life movin’ fast, can’t accept defeat, Lost some brothers, now they just memories, Hustle in my veins, pain’s my pedigree. Skrrt, sirens flash, night full of danger, Trust get broken, can’t rely on a stranger, Dark corners whisper, my mind get angrier, Stack my scars high, yeah, I’m my own savior. Syncopated steps, move silent like ghosts, Accelerate life, I don’t need a toast, Every block tell a story, every street boast, Life ain’t fair, but we grind coast to coast. (Ad-lib: grrah, ha, yeah, skrrt) (Pre-Chorus – slightly melodic, haunting) Rain fall heavy, but it don’t wash the pain, Heart cold steel, I been through the flame, Voices in the dark, calling my name, I keep my circle small, no room for the fame… (Chorus – punchy, hypnotic, drill flow) Shadows in the rain, yeah I walk alone, All this ice on my chain, but my heart’s stone, Enemies close, yeah they tryna zone, Grit in my tone, grind in my bone. Skrrt, grrah, life movin’ at my pace, Eyes wide open, never fall from grace, Every step syncopated, can’t erase, The streets made me, streets my only base. (Verse 2 – faster, syncopated drill flow) Night vision, city cold, I don’t sleep, Watchin’ my back, silence cut deep, Loyalty scarce, betrayal cheap, Every promise broken, yeah the pain repeat. Grrt… ha… pockets full, but my soul hungry, Life lessons taught in the alleys, no luxury, Dreams big, pockets thin, still I come from the slurry, Dark nights inspire me, flow like a flurry. Skrrt… I move like a shadow in the mist, Heavy words, every line hit like a fist, Accelerate life, I don’t wait or resist, In the rain, in the dark, I exist… (Bridge – whispered, haunting, minimal synth) Shadows talk… streets listen… Heart cold… mind driven… Grrt… uh… never missing… I survive… I keep glistening… (Final Chorus – heavier, aggressive drill ad-libs) Shadows in the rain, yeah I walk alone, All this ice on my chain, but my heart’s stone, Enemies close, yeah they tryna zone, Grit in my tone, grind in my bone. Skrrt, ha, life movin’ at my pace, Eyes wide open, never fall from grace, Every step syncopated, can’t erase, The streets made me, streets my only base. (Outro – whispered) Grrt… shadows in the rain… Never sleep… never tame…
