Sunbaked Syncopation

Shadows creep on cracked concrete where the streetlights flicker low Glock tucked in my waistband, heart heavy like the snow Echoes of a siren's wail, but we move like ghosts in the night Brothers lost to the reaper's blade under the pale moonlight Potions in the air, sifting on the endless grind Gravel circled like vultures waiting for a sign One wrong glance and the sparks fly, bullets kiss the wind In this concrete jungle, survival's the only sin Drilled deep feel the pace slide through your veins 808s rumbling like thunder in the rain High half snapping fast like the pulse of the fight Street life calling, we ignite the night No mercy in these blocks We're the worst We get devoured Voices from the grave screaming louder and louder We ride or we die in this grim parade Drilled kings rising from the shadows we made Memories hitched in bullet holes on the brick wall start Momma's prayers fade in whispers while the world's gone hard Ops lurking in the alleys, masks pulled low and tight One slip on the trigger turns day to endless night A penny's parched with blood ink from the wounds that never heal Fathers turn to phantoms, leaving voice too real Fast money in the trap, but the chains weigh us down In the heart of the storm, we claim our crown Drilled deep feel the pace slide through your veins 808s rumbling like thunder in the rain High half snapping fast like the pulse of the fight Street life calling, we ignite the night No mercy in these blocks We're the weak, get devoured Voices from the grave screaming louder and louder We ride or we die in this grim parade Drilled kings rising from the shadows we made Wings held through the projects carrying tales of disdain I dodged the fed lights dancing in the pouring rain Loyalty's a blade, I'm not a blade Cuts deeper than the steel wheel Friends turn to foes when her hunger's revealed We at your legend it's on the history Drilled deep feel the pace slide through your veins 808s rumbling like thunder in the rain High half snapping fast like the pulse of the fight Street life calling, we ignite the night No mercy in these blocks We're the weak, get devoured Voices from the grave screaming louder and louder We ride or we die in this grim parade Drilled kings rising from the shadows we made
