[horror rap deep voices and distorted hooks] (Verse 1 deep scary voice) Cold nights, wet pavement, sirens sing lullabies City raised a savage, turned a kid to a problem child Mama cried, but the rent due, lights flicker, hunger loud So I learned quick—either starve or make the block proud Posted where the fiends crawl, needles in the alleyway Dreams get buried quick where the reaper come to play Homie got smoked over pride, shit was petty beef Now his name on a shirt, and his momma barely sleep Yeah, I done seen it—blood mix with the rainwater Seen a good kid turn demon just to gain dollars Flipped packs, quick cash, heart numb, soul hollow Every move feel cursed, but the hunger made me follow (Hook melodic distorted voice) This that grimey anthem, gutter-born, no escape Where the strong adapt fast or get erased On the edge of destruction, yeah we dance with fate Tryna find a way out ‘fore it’s too damn late This ain’t glory, it’s pain in a gold disguise Every win got a cost, every smile tell lies Had to shift my mind, couldn’t live off rage Now I’m fighting my demons while I’m stuck in the cage (Verse 2 deep scary angry voice) Robbery thoughts creeping when the pockets on zero Devil on my shoulder like “fuck it, be the villain, no hero” Kicked doors? Yea… and I stood ten toes. When survival got tight, morals turn to ghosts Every corner got a story, every block got scars Every handshake fake, every friend got bars Trust is a gamble, loyalty rare as peace Seen brothers turn snakes for a quick ass feast I was deep in that ego—mad at the world and shit Blaming everything else, steady losing grip Till I peeped one truth through the chaos and smoke— If I don’t change me, then I’m bound to stay broke (Hook melodic distorted voice) This that grimey anthem, gutter-born, no escape Where the strong adapt fast or get erased On the edge of destruction, yeah we dance with fate Tryna find a way out ‘fore it’s too damn late This ain’t glory, it’s pain in a gold disguise Every win got a cost, every smile tell lies Had to shift my mind, couldn’t live off rage Now I’m fighting my demons while I’m stuck in the cage (Bridge faded voice) Yeah I cussed out fate, told God I was done But the mirror hit harder than a loaded gun Said “you the one choosing how this shit unfolds” Either break that cycle—or be bought and sold (Verse 3 andgrt deep voice ) So I tightened my focus, started watching my thoughts Cut the poison out my circle, shit was harder than ops Still the same damn city, same cracks in the street But I’m moving different now, got my mind on defeat— Of the version of me that was stuck in the grime Now I hustle with a purpose, not just wasting my time Still got scars, still got rage, still got demons that lurk But I’m building something real, putting pain into work (Outro Hook melodic distorted voice) This that grimey anthem, truth soaked in sin Where the war outside match the war within You can drown in the streets or learn how to swim But the real escape start when you master your mind within
