In the shadows where the whispers echo pain

In the shadows where the whispers echo pain, Deals go down but the trust is never plain, Cash exchanged, eyes dart like a hawk, One slip, now the silence feels like a block. Streets cold, heart froze, no remorse in sight, A scheme unfolds under the pale moonlight, Voices rise, tension thick as the smoke, One wrong word, now the trigger's gonna choke. He had a plan but the greed made him blind, A flash of metal, now he's lost in the grind, Life’s a gamble, but the stakes turned lethal, Family shattered, all that’s left is the steeple. Blood on the pavement, a story untold, In the city’s grip, where the hearts turn cold, Echoes of laughter now lost in the night, A drug deal gone wrong, fading out of sight.
