Shady World
# **Shady World** *(Verse 1)* Welcome to the flicker where the truth gets murky, Light bends funny, and the streets move jerky. Silent handshakes, whispers thicker than smoke, Smile in your face, dagger under the cloak. Polished shoes, but the souls got stains, Rain on the window, can’t wash out the pain. Paranoia’s currency, trust is counterfeit, You blink and the loyalty turns to a myth. Chessboard pavement—knights move at dusk, Kings get toppled when the pawns lose trust. Every shadow got a story that the moon won’t tell, Contracts written in the echo of a church bell. Fake halos, real horns under velvet caps, Poetry in the gutter, angels caught in the traps. Mirrors crack smiles, but the reflection’s a riddle, Every saint got a past, every villain’s a little. *(Hook)* World’s got a tilt, see the sun walk away, Deals in the dark, hope fades to gray. Eyes wide open, still the vision unfurls, Careful where you step in this shady world. *(Verse 2)* Rain-slick gutters, ambitions run with the water, Truths drowned quick, every lie’s got a daughter. Gossip’s the gospel, preached in alleyway choirs, Promises burn fast—city’s built from these fires. Currency’s crooked, pays in secrets and scars, Dreams pawned nightly at neon-lit bars. Suits cut sharp, but the motives cut deeper, Whole world’s a stage, every mask is a keeper. Wolves wear cologne, sheep hide in the crowd, Silence is golden and the dark speaks loud. Pages turn slow in a book full of edits, History’s rewritten by the ones who don’t regret it. Truth under covers, deception’s the bed, Morals get auctioned, highest bid in your head. It’s a maze with no center, a game with no rule, Find a little light—don’t let ‘em play you for a fool. *(Hook)* World’s got a tilt, see the sun walk away, Deals in the dark, hope fades to gray. Eyes wide open, still the vision unfurls, Careful where you step in this shady world. *(Outro)* So stay sharp in the shadow, let the real ones assemble, Every crooked line’s just another thing to tremble. Trust gotta earn it, love gotta test it, In a world full of shade, stand tall—never rested.
