[Instrumental Intro] [distant siren swell, rotor whoosh, low 808 rumble, one-shot string stab, radio click] [Verse 1] Opie in a Pontiac, primer paint with a bite Skating on the edge where the blues flash bright Badge phase past tense, now a midnight poet Cardboard builds in the trunk, only real ones know it Trey says most wanted, grins at the heat Heli shadow slides like a clock on the street Frenchie in a trench with a grin that bends Angel on the shoulder while the chaos trends Lauren with a notepad, body-cam truth Ride-along spirit in the heart of the booth City does loops, then the plot resets Every loss writes lore the timeline forgets [Pre-Chorus] If the sirens sing, we tune the scheme Value life first, then chase the dream [Chorus] Opie in the mirror, smoke curls thin Hairpin vanish, let the chase begin Trey in the sky, blades kiss trees Frenchie laughs wild when the brakes seize Lauren calls plates as the night runs deep City never sleeps, it just rewinds scenes we keep [Verse 2] Grappler on the bumper, sparks like rain Opie taps brakes, slips right past pain Trey brings a crew and the crew brings smoke Whole block quoting the punchline joke Frenchie flips coin, evil or friend Either way the arc finds a bend Lauren stays steady with the questions clean Catching little truths that hide between [Pre-Chorus] If the sirens sing, we hold the line Lose the car, keep the arc, still shine [Chorus] Opie in the mirror, smoke curls thin Hairpin vanish, let the chase begin Trey in the sky, blades kiss trees Frenchie laughs wild when the brakes seize Lauren calls plates as the night runs deep City never sleeps, it just rewinds scenes we keep [Bridge] [radio] Unit to dispatch, targets split three ways [rotor whoosh] Streets stitch up like a screen replays [aside] Count the beats where the heartbeat hides [chant] Save the story first, then roll for rides [Final Chorus] Opie in the mirror, smoke curls thin Hairpin vanish, let the chase begin If the night leans close with a key of D We open that door and it sings for free Trey in the sky, blades kiss trees Frenchie goes feral, then calls a tease Lauren tags truth while the waves of light gleam Redline dreams, living right between screams [Instrumental Outro] [string stab echoes, siren falloff, rotor fades, keys resolve, radio click to silence]
