[Intro] Heard from the honey pot, voice low and cold Whispers cut the silence like a blade made of old She said a monster riding elevators in the night Stalking silent victims under flickering light Hey’jay the mechanic almost caught him in the act Saved a girl by banging on the top of the shaft Cops ain’t moving, so the Reaper’s on the case Kenji “The Lift” Chen about to meet his fate [Hook] Elevator ghost, but this Reaper’s tradecraft Stop the car, beat em' down, shoved a stick up his ass Greek Town to Rogers Park, he thought he ran the night Reaper got the proof, now the devil’s losing light Elevator ghost, but this Reaper’s tradecraft Stop the car, beat em' down, shoved a stick up his ass No cameras, no mercy, just the dark and the blade Reaper owns these streets, bitch ass monster slayed [Verse 1] Kenji Chen worked maintenance, keys to buildings in the zone Greek Town lofts to Rogers Park, he moved around alone Smiling maintenance man by day, but at night turned to stone Followed women from the lobby, crept when they rode alone No cameras in the shaft, with keys to building’s doors Pressed the button, stopped the car between the floors He raped them slow, killed them, left them broken on the floor Left the elevator like nothing happened, walked out the door Hey’jay heard the screams one night, and made a sound Scared the monster off before he took another down [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Met Hey’jay in a back alley, showed me footage from his phone Said the guy was calm and careful, never left a trace alone Dug through building logs, matched when girls went missing Found his name on every shift when the attacks were happening Checked his locker, found rope, tape, gloves, mask Found the videos he kept hidden in a private flash Kenji Chen, forty-three, divorced, lived in Edgewater Maintenance supervisor with access to every elevator He chose buildings with old shafts, no cameras in the cars Thought he was invisible, but I see through the dark [Bridge] Investigation done, the proof is in my hand Time to make him feel exactly what he gave those women in the end No more hiding in the dark, no more stopping cars at night Reaper’s coming for you, Kenji — this is your last ride [Verse 3] Caught him in The Sheridan Towers on Sheridan Road Eleventh floor button pressed, stepped in with his usual load Slipped in right behind him, camera scrambla' humming low Doors closed, hit the stop button, car between eleven and twelve He turned around, eyes wide, realized it wasn’t a fault Watched his face turn white when he realized he was caught Begged me “Please man, it wasn’t me, you got the wrong guy” Showed him the pictures of the girls and yelled, WHY! He swung wild and desperate, tried to fight me off Cracked his jaw quick, made his resistance soft [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] He tried to run, but the doors were sealed up tight Grabbed his collar, slammed down with all my might Dragged him to the floor, pants down, stick found along the way Rammed it deep, screamed the same way his victims prayed Made him feel every second of the pain he gave those girls Whispered every name he hurt while his blood began to swirl Cut him slow across the throat, watched life leave his eyes Left him bleeding, pants around his ankles, no disguise Staged it clean, camera scrambla' still running strong Doors opened on the lobby, security found before long [Hook] Elevator ghost, but this Reaper’s tradecraft Stop the car, beat em' down, shoved a stick up his ass Greek Town to Rogers Park, he thought he ran the night Reaper got the proof, now the devil’s losing light Elevator ghost, but this Reaper’s tradecraft Stop the car, beat em' down, shoved a stick up his ass No cameras, no mercy, just the dark and the blade Reaper owns these streets, bitch ass monster slayed [Outro] Another evil erased, another girl can sleep Hey’jay did his part, the city’s a little less deep Reaper still ridin’, still cleaning up the night Evil don’t hide forever — I always bring the light
