Fractured Silences

Shadows creep on cracked concrete, but the street lights pick a low Hustle in my veins, mama's prez off in the undertow Pockets empty dreams, heavy dodging blue lights in the night Trapped in for the throne every scar a badge in the neon fire 808s rumble like thunder in my chest heartbeat on wild I has dance and frantic echoing the chaos of the chaotic Echoing the chaos of the child grown too soon Slinging dreams wrapped in plastic bags, from the block to the booth Auto-tune mad, asking all to dress Southern soul in every bar, breaking chains we never saw Travel ever, echoing the night, we night, we on the dark Land us hard to the stars, leaving permanent marks Whispers from the corner, ghosts of brothers lost To the game, gold chains heavy, but the weight of regret feels the same Super-sages humming low, like the secrets we can't say Snail rose crack like gunshots chasing demons awake I built this empire on the nothing the beats in the trap house Glow emotional war, feeling buried under the snow Eyes on the prize, but the mirror shows a stranger's face Poetic justice in the rhythm, finding grace in this space Booming bass, shake the foundation, feel the trap like calling Rapping fire, high as we rising from the fallen Street in the concrete, voices auto-tune and grow Southern soul in every bar, breaking chains we never saw Travel ever, echoing the night, we night, we on the dark Land us hard to the stars, leaving permanent marks Slow it down, let the breathe, feel the pulse of the pain Wounds that heal in the melody, washing away the rain From the dirt to the divine, we rewrite the script Auto-tune our cries, and the anthems never quit the grip Final play, lights fading, but the fire still burns bright Lessons from the trap, turning wrong to right in the fight Emotional tidal wave, crashing on these urban shores Through the storm, catching skies so high Booming bass, shake the foundation, feel the trap like calling Rapping fire, high as we rising from the fallen Street in the concrete, voices auto-tune and grow Southern soul in every bar, breaking chains we never saw Travel ever, echoing the night, we night, we on the dark From Atlanta's hard to the stars, leaving permanent marks Slow it down, let the breathe, feeling the pulse of the pain
