Death Is Just Bad Timing (Motown Philly Slow Burn)

[Verse] Street lights flicker, shadows runnin' late Portraits of the fallen, like a twist to fate Time's a trickster, playin' games with the clock Death swayin' gently, a dance with a shock [Verse 2] Corner alley whispers, secrets in the wind Grim reaper’s serenade, another chapter pinned City symphony, horns cryin' out the blues Pavements echo footsteps of yesterday's news [Chorus] Death ain't final, just a detour sign Misread maps, in life's grand design Trickery of seconds, tickin' outta sync Moments freeze-framed, on the brink [Verse 3] Jazz notes float, driftin' through night air Melodies twistin', in love and despair Heavenly rhythms, on the devil’s time Mortality a rhyme, missin' the prime [Verse 4] Bright marquee lights, flicker, fade, ignite Eulogies in rhyme, under midnight's spotlight Every breath a beat, chest percussion strong Heartstrings pluckin', that unsung song [Chorus] Death ain't final, just a detour sign Misread maps, in life's grand design Trickery of seconds, tickin' outta sync Moments freeze-framed, on the brink
