mirage

I step in the scene, got my eyes on the prize, With a mind like a steel trap, no surprise, I hustle through the struggle, built my empire, Every move I make, they admire my fire. From the block to the top, yeah, I paved my lane, Got the heart of a lion, never feel the pain, I’m the king of this jungle, hear the roar in my chest, Every challenge I face, I’m just puttin’ it to rest. They talk a big game, but they can’t back it up, I’m the one with the vision, watch me stack it up, I run this game like a marathon runner, While they’re stuck in the rain, I’m the sun, I’m the thunder. Got the grind on lock, never miss a beat, With my eyes on the throne, feel the heat in the street, I’m a legend in the making, watch the story unfold, In a world full of fakes, I’m the real, I’m the gold. In the shadows where the lost souls roam, Heart heavy, mind steady, never call it home, Life’s a game of chess, but I’m checkin’ all my foes, Kings fall hard when the truth finally shows. Dark nights, bright lights, but the pain still lingers, Finger on the trigger, watch the world slip through fingers, Street wisdom taught me, trust is just a mirage, Loyalty's a myth, they’ll stab you for the charge. Ghosts of the past, hauntin’ every single step, Lay ‘em all down, no regrets, no prep, Creepin' through to the alley where the shadows conspire, Burnin’ bridges, watch ’em crumble in the fire. Tales of the real, where the fakes can’t survive, Keep my circle tight, only real ones stay alive, Echoes in the dark, hear the whispers of the slain, In this life or the next, we all feel the same pain.
