GETTING GANKED [INTRO — DARK & EERIE] [Low distorted bass drone] [Distant siren ambience] [Slow ominous guitar swell] [Whispered ad-libs] “Rock…” “Blizz…” “Something ain’t right…” [VERSE 1 — LOW, GRITTY RAP | 78 BPM] [Dark boom-bap drums] [Heavy bass underneath] [Rhythmic vocal delivery] Yo, let me paint you a picture, real gritty and foul, 'Bout a deal in the alley where the night starts to howl. Rock on my left, Blizz watching my back, Had the package and the paper, thought we had the whole thing exact. [GUNS RELOADING — SFX] [BLIZZ — whispered] “You sure?” Had the count checked twice, thought the lick was secure, Then the headlights hit us - something felt wrong for sure. Three shadows stepped forward, blocking off the lane, Rock looked at Blizz like, “Man, this shit gone be insane.” [ROCK — LOW] “Something ain't right.” [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING TENSION] [Kick intensifies] [Snare accents] Back against the bricks, nowhere left to go, Rock to my left and Blizz wit tha heat on show. Three of us trapped underneath that streetlight glow, Then the whole damn setup started moving real slow… [CHORUS — AGGRESSIVE | FULL BEAT] [Distorted bass] [Heavy drums] [Gang vocals] BACK AGAINST THE BRICKS! SWEAT BEADIN' ON MY DOME! THE CATS WHO ROLLED UP WEREN'T LOOKIN' FOR A LOAN! [ROCK — SHOUT] “WE GOTTA MOVE!” [BLIZZ — SHOUT] “NOW!” [VERSE 2 — DARK, FASTER FLOW] [808-style bass] [Sharp snare] [Gritty distorted guitar accents] Eyes black as pitch, chrome glintin' in the haze, Suddenly the whole damn setup went sideways. Heard the click of a hammer, felt the temperature change, Rock clenched his jaw while Blizz scanned the range. “Where the fuck's the whole weight?” A ringing cloud in my ear. Told 'em the count was correct, But they ain't trying to hear. Blizz whispered, “Don't panic.” Rock said, “Stay low.” Three heartbeats pounding With nowhere to go. Greasy fingers twitching, Tension filling the air, One wrong move in that alley And nobody gets spared. [PRE-CHORUS — HALF-TIME] [Beat drops back] [Low bass pulse] Rock looked at me. Blizz looked at Rock. Nobody said a word, But we knew what was up. [CHORUS — FULL FORCE] BACK AGAINST DA BRICKS! SWEAT BEADIN' ON MY DOME! THE CATS WHO ROLLED UP WEREN'T LOOKIN' FOR A LOAN! (WITH GUNS DRAWN!) [VERSE 3 — RAP | INCREASING INTENSITY] [Rapid hi-hats] [Distorted bass] [Short guitar stabs] My mind went ten directions, One for the heat to make bullets fly, 'Cause getting popped in this darkness Ain't how I wanna die. I spit some bullshit bravado, Tried to play it cool, But Rock was reading every movement, Blizz knew the rule. Then the short one got jumpy, Finger twitching on his steel, Rock grabbed my shoulder - “When I give tha signal” [ROCK — SHOUT] “NOW!” [BLIZZ — SHOUT] “RUN!” [BREAK — BEAT CUT] [Single heartbeat] [Breathing] [Metallic impact] [FUCK!!!] [VERSE 4 — RAP | FAST & DESPERATE] [Full drums return] [Distorted guitar] [Heavy bass] Saw my chance, split second, Became a shadow in the gloom, Dived across the pavement, Trying to dodge impending doom. Heard the bark of the burner, Felt the wind as it flew, Rock disappeared into darkness, Blizz shouted, “KEEP MOVING, FOOL!” Left the bread and the product, Ain't no shame in retreat, 'Cause breath in my lungs Is a whole lot more sweet. Crawled through the garbage, The stink and the grime, Heart pounding like a drum AGainst da echoes of time. Rock came out behind me, Blizz emerged from da smoke, Peeled out, As the whole night nothin went right yo! [BRIDGE — DARK & ATMOSPHERIC] [Drums drop out] [Deep bass melody] Rock said, “Trust nobody.” Blizz said, “Never again.” Three friends walked into that alley - Only we walked out in the end. [BUILD-UP] [Tom drums gradually rising] [Distorted guitar feedback] [CHORUS — MASSIVE] [Full distorted guitars] [Heavy drums] [Gang vocals] BACK AGAIN WIT THE BRICKS! SWEAT DRIED ON MY DOME! THE CATS WHO ROLLED UP WEREN'T LOOKIN' FOR A LOAN! (CUZ NOW THEY ALL GONE!) WE WALKED IN AT THA WRONG TIME! WE WALKED OUT WITOUT PRIDE! ROCK! BLIZZ! ME! ...STILL ALIVE! [BASS BREAK — DARK & EERIE] [Isolated bass melody] [Low distorted guitar feedback] [Heartbeat kick] [OUTRO VERSE — SLOW, MENACING] [60 BPM] [Half-time drums] Now I move in the shadows, Trust in nobody's grin, 'Cause the game's full of snakes And the losses begin. When you slip for a second, Let your guard fucking fall, Yeah, we walked through the fire, Almost lost it all. Rock keeps his eyes open, Blizz watches the street, Three friends learned the hard way That trust ain't guaranteed. This ain't a survival story, This the gutter's harsh reality in truce, Where a deal gone wrong, Can cost you your life with no truce, Im only spitting bout the bangers doin us wrong Ended up in tha junk yard wit a car for a tombstone [BASS + GUITAR FADE] [FINAL CHORUS — GANG VOCALS] BACK AGAINST THE BRICKS! SWEAT DRIED ON MY DOME! THE CATS WHO ROLLED UP WEREN'T LOOKIN' FOR A LOAN! (Cause now they all gone!) [End]
