Street Wraiths

Shadows creep on the block where the streetlights flicker low Glocks tucked in waistband, hearts cold as the winter snow Echoes of sirens wail like ghosts from the graves we dug Young kings trimmed to smoke, uh, caught in the trigger's tug, uh, uh, uh Whispers in the alley, plus thick as the fog we breathe Toyotis of blade that cuts deeper than you believe Drill deep in the veins of the city, no mercy, the city, no mercy Insight 808, sly light like the ops we break, send race in the fight High hats rattle the cage, when we swing to kingdom come Hot pack smoke, no, no peace in this concrete jungle Front of the, to the grave we battle, we die in the blood red skies Memories haunt like bullets, ricocheting off the balls Lost my brother to the beef, now his shadow forever calls Tears mixed with the rain on the stew Tears mixed with the rain on the stew But we plan to hit adrenaline surges fists clenched ready to stay as clothes Poetic justice in the pool of the hammer, sweet release, release Survival's the art we paint with the pain and the peace No heroes in these tales, just survivors scarred and torn in the drills Grim ballet, we're reborn in the storm Pulse for breath in the eye of the hurricane's rage What price for the throne? Echoes of laughter fade Echoes of laughter fade To the crack of the thunder, hearts heavy with the wave Drove deep in the veins of the city, no mercy, the city no mercy Insight 808, sly light like the ops we break, send race in the fight High hats rattle the cage, when we swing to kingdom come Violence calls our name, in the chaos we rumble Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain No keys in the door Only blood, blurring skies Only blood, only blood Only blood Only blood Only blood Only blood Only blood Only blood Only blood
