Tape Ends, Light Flickers

[Verse 1] Stories told on a bootleg night Neighborhood ghosts where we learned to fight Deals and dreams in a cracked up town Memphis grit never let us down Sweat and fear where the paper fold Chasing hope through the nights so cold Tape been rollin’ through pain and pride Now the last words play as the streets collide [Chorus] — TAPE ENDS, LIGHT FLICKERS LOW — — LAST WORDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND FLOW — TAPE ENDS — MEMPHIS STILL KNOW HUSTLE AND HEART MADE THE WHOLE SHOW TAPE ENDS — LIGHT FLICKERS LOW BACKROOM CARTEL WON’T LET GO [Verse 2] Block still breathe though the lights burn dim Lost so many but we carry them Every scar is a story pressed to wax Every siren a beat that keeps us strapped We fought decay with our truth and sound Turned the ruins to a battleground When the hiss runs out and the night turn still Memphis made, we gon’ stand here real [Bridge] Tape pop once, DJ fade to black Sirens hum while the city cracks But the streets don’t die, they live in these rhymes Dead Pyramid Scrolls for all time [Chorus] — TAPE ENDS, LIGHT FLICKERS LOW — — LAST WORDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND FLOW — TAPE ENDS — MEMPHIS STILL KNOW HUSTLE AND HEART MADE THE WHOLE SHOW TAPE ENDS — LIGHT FLICKERS LOW BACKROOM CARTEL WON’T LET GO
