chance i take

(Verse 1) In the alleyways where the darkness lingers, Silent whispers, got the world on my fingers, Heart cold like the steel that I clutch tight, Life's a gamble, roll the dice in the moonlight. Hooded figures, we move like a phantom, Plotting schemes while the city’s in a tantrum, Eyes on the prize, but the price is blood, In the shadows where the real ones flood. (Verse 2) Echoes of the past haunt me like a ghost, Every step I take, man, I feel it the most, Adrenaline rush, but the pain’s still real, Caught in the web, can’t escape how I feel. Trust is a luxury, can’t afford that now, In the game of survival, you learn to bow, But I rise like a phoenix, from ashes I creep, Killing dreams in the night, while the world’s fast asleep. In the shadows where the silence screams, Life’s a game, but it’s not what it seems, Got my mind on survival, streets cold and dark, Every corner’s got a story, every block leaves a mark. Eyes wide open, can’t afford to blink, Trust is a luxury, man, you sink or you swim, Enemies lurkin’, got the heart of a beast, In this jungle of concrete, it’s the strong that feast. (Verse 2) Blood stains on the pavement, echoes of the past, Every choice I make, man, it’s built to last, Ghosts of my fallen, haunt me every night, But I rise like a phoenix, ready for the fight. Life’s a battlefield, every day’s a test, Keep your circle tight, it’s survival of the blessed, A legacy of pain, but I’m breaking the chain, In a world full of chaos, I’m still holding my name.
