[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio with reverb] Yeah Alright Skies For real Another night, another city [Verse 1] [808 bass and trap drums enter] Used to dream about these days, now they feel like a blur Ridin' in a foreign with windows tinted, can't stir Lost some real ones on the way, gained some snakes in my circle Every smile ain't genuine, watchin' out for the hurdle Paparazzi flashin' bright, feelin' trapped inside this cage Money pilin' up so high, can't erase the inner rage Sippin' on that purple sprite, tryin' to numb away the pain Wonder if they love me for my sound or just my diamond chain [Chorus] [vocals become more melodic and layered] Feelin' like a ghost in the machine, lost inside this spotlight's glare Chasin' highs, reachin' for the stars, but findin' trouble everywhere Empty bottles on the table, another broken promise in the air Yeah, this fast life got me numb, swear I'm trapped beyond repair [Verse 2] Text messages ignored, real connections fade to grey They just hit me up for favors, never checkin' if I'm okay Every rumor hit my phone, feelin' isolated, lone Tryin' to find a peace of mind, but my heart is set in stone Melodies on autopilot, words just flowin' from my soul But the weight upon my shoulders takin' its eternal toll Used to rap about the struggle, now the struggle's just more deep Wishin' I could close my eyes and find some honest sleep, yeah [Chorus] Another lonely night beneath these neon city lights Searchin' for a feelin' real amidst these endless sleepless flights My soul is heavy as a tide, caught between the dark and bright This fast life got me faded, prayin' for a guidin' light [Bridge] Remember days back on the block, just a kid with big dreams Now the mansion's filled with echoes, broken promises and scenes Is there anything authentic left beneath this gilded shine? Just want to feel myself again, rewind the hands of time [Outro] [drums drop out, guitar arpeggio continues] Trapped in this golden cage, wish I could break away All these vices callin' out, stealin' pieces of my day Lost my way on this highway, prayin' for a brand new start This fast life got me broken, ripped my fragile world apart, yeah [guitar fades out] Yeah For real Skies No To the pain Another day Can't escape it
