Shadow Slides

808 hummin' low, hi-hats tickin' slow Tension buildin', night fallin' deep

Block hot, can't walk without the pole tucked Opps plottin', but I'm slidin' first, no luck Grew up in the trenches, lost bros to the smoke Now every corner's war, hearts cold like the dope Fiends noddin' out, but I'm wide awake schemin' One wrong move, and it's beams on your demon Loyal to the gang, ride or die, no switchin' Enemies creepin', but my trigger finger itchin' Streets whisper names, echoes of the fallen Payback comin' swift, no callin' for a pardon Mama prayin' hard, but the devil got my number In this concrete jungle, we all just thunder

Opps on sight, no talk, just slide

Glocks spit fire, let the whole block ride

No peace in these streets, only pride and pain

We drill through the night, leavin' stains in the rain

Half-time feel when the beat drops low Memories flash, see my dawg in the glow Betrayed by a snake, now the circle gettin' smaller Load up the clip, turn the summer to a caller Sirens wail distant, but we move like phantoms Ghost in the trap, dodgin' cams and the cameras Rivals talk tough, but they fold under pressure One burst from the drum, end the session forever Cycles of beef, no end in sight Lost in the fight, chasin' ghosts through the night But we hold the line, for the fam and the crown In this game of kings, only the strong hold down

808 drone, hi-hats fade to a whisper Breath heavy, heart racin', feel the shift One more move, then we erupt, no surrender

Opps on sight, no talk, just slide

Glocks spit fire, let the whole block ride

No peace in these streets, only pride and pain

We drill through the night, leavin' stains in the rain

Hi-hats slow, 808 lingers long Sirens distant, story ends where it begun No resolution, just the cycle spins on
