Verse 1 Streetlights flicker, shadows creep in the dark, City’s heartbeat echoes, leaving its mark. Deals go down where the sirens don’t reach, Trust is a weapon, and silence can teach. Eyes on the prize, but the risk runs deep, You either hunt or become the meat. In this game, there’s no turning back, The criminal code’s the only track. Chorus We live by the rules carved in the night, Where power’s the law, and fear holds tight. A loaded glance, a sharp-edged tone, In the world of crime, you’re always alone. Verse 2 Cigarette smoke fades into the cold, Every move’s a gamble, every word’s sold. Loyalty’s a mask, and the streets don’t forgive, You take what you can—it’s the only way to live. Behind every smile, there’s a hidden blade, Every handshake’s a bet in the game we play. The weak are buried, the bold survive, In the shadow’s grip, only the ruthless thrive. Chorus We live by the rules carved in the night, Where power’s the law, and fear holds tight. A loaded glance, a sharp-edged tone, In the world of crime, you’re always alone. Bridge Echoes of footsteps in the alleyway, The ghosts of the past never fade away. Bloodstains washed by the pouring rain, But the weight of the sins will always remain. Outro Fate’s a gun with the barrel spun, You win the round, but the fight’s never done. In the criminal code, there’s no escape, You write your story in shadow and tape.
