Lost in the Night

[Verse 1] Concrete jungle, my soul cracked in the pavement, Heart in the gutter, love ain't no safe haven. Tried to hold her, but the streets pulled tighter, She slipped through my hands, a ghost in the cipher. Hood whispers loud, money screams in the alley, Chasing dead presidents, lost her in the tally. [Verse 2] Phone buzzes, her name, now it’s static, Memories burn slow, my chest feels volcanic. Tears mixed with sweat, grind turned robotic, Her laughter echoes, haunting my logic. Empty bottles, full ashtrays, no closure, My heart’s a war zone, can’t find no soldier. [Verse 3] Gunshots sing lullabies, sirens the choir, Love on fire, ashes build my empire. She said, "Choose me or the block, you can't have both," I gambled on the hustle, and now I’m the ghost. Diamonds on my wrist, but they don’t feel colder, The weight of her absence, the world on my shoulder. [Verse 4] Night bleeds into morning, streets still scheming, Eyes bloodshot red, can’t tell if I’m dreaming. Every king falls, my throne built on sorrow, No queen by my side, just debts for tomorrow. Hood life chose me, love couldn't linger, Now all I hold tight is this trigger.
