[Intro] (Yeah!...) [Verse 1] Concrete veins pumping cold in the night City’s a beast, teeth glinting in the streetlight Footsteps echo, paranoia my twin Breath like smoke, every shadow a sin Rats in the gutter, they whisper my name Cops in the rearview, mafia’s the same Fingers twitch on the trigger, heart's ticking bomb Dark alleys my cradle, my kingdom of wrong [Chorus] Shadows in the alley, we run, we hide Darkness our armor, the night our guide They want us broken, but we won't abide Shadows in the alley, can't kill our pride (Ough!) [Verse 2] Trash fire glow paints my face in flame Every corner a gamble, survival’s the game Windows got eyes, walls breathe lies I’m the ghost in the mist, the wolf in disguise Blood on the bricks, memories stained Pavement's a canvas, the city’s insane Streetlights flicker, my pulse does too Every crack in the concrete knows what I do [Bridge] Echoes bounce, we blend with the mist Fists clenched tight, scars mark every twist They want us erased, names lost in the list But this war ain't over, we fight to exist [Chorus] Shadows in the alley, we run, we hide Darkness our armor, the night our guide They want us broken, but we won't abide Shadows in the alley, can't kill our pride (Ough!) [Outro] Hide in the dark, where the light don’t tread City don’t sleep, it just counts the dead Echoes of sirens, whispers of pain Born in the shadow, I’ll die in the rain [End]
