(Verse 1)
(Verse 1) In the shadows where the real ones creep, Trust is a ghost, in the alley, we weep, Heart cold like the block, where the secrets reside, Betrayal cuts deep, like a knife in the tide. Eyes on the prize, but the prize is a lie, Friends turn to foes, watch ‘em switch in the sky, Streetlights flicker, like the hope that we had, Lost in the hustle, man, this life’s getting mad. (Verse 2) Cash rules everything, but it’s stained with regret, Thought you was solid, but you’re just like the rest, Whispers in the dark, yeah, they echo the pain, Trust is a gamble, and I’m losing the game. Tattoos of my scars, tell the story I wear, Survivor of the struggle, but the weight’s hard to bear, In the city of dreams, where the nightmares collide, Still I rise from the ashes, with my pride as my guide.
