[Intro: male rapper] I see your face in my dreams, every night Whispers of "my love", my heart still tight But when I wake up, it's just a lie 'Cause you're gone, and I'm left to die [Verse 1: male rapper] I remember the day like it was yesterday Came home from work, and everything went astray Heard your screams, my world went gray Ran upstairs, but it was too late to stay His hands around your throat, his eyes on mine I should've stopped him then, but I was in a bind Paralyzed by fear, as you slipped away Now I'm left with this anger, eating at me every day [Chorus:female singer] In the dark of night, I hear your cries My love, my heart, my soul, why'd you have to die? I see the pain in your eyes, it never fades But don't you worry, baby, he'll pay for these shades [Verse 2:male rapper] I searched high and low, left no stone unturned Talked to every face, but nobody would've learned Kept quiet as a mouse, while I burned from the inside But now I have a name, and a score to abide Followed his trail, like a bloodhound on the scent Watched him laugh and love, while my heart was still bent Thought he got away, but I played it cool Waited for the perfect moment, to make my move, to make him drool [Chorus:female singer] In the dark of night, I hear your cries My love, my heart, my soul, why'd you have to die? I see the pain in your eyes, it never fades But don't you worry, baby, he'll pay for these shades [Verse 3: male rapper] He begged for mercy, as I looked him dead But all I saw was you, lying there, cold and red His tears fell like rain, but they couldn't wash the stain I took my time, made sure he felt every single pain You deserved to live, to grow old, to thrive But now you're gone, and I'm left here, alive With this hatred burning, this fire in my veins And all I can do is avenge, and hope that brings me peace, one day, maybe, somehow [Chorus:female singer] In the dark of night, I hear your cries My love,my heart,my soul, why'd you have to die? I see the pain in your eyes, it never fades But don't you worry, baby, he'll pay for these shades [Outro: male rapper] Now I'm left with this void, this endless night Forever searching, but you're still out of sight But I hear your whispers, guiding me through the pain And I know that soon, we'll reunite again.
