Pavement Predators

Shadows creep on these cracked corners Eyes locked like predators Heartbeat sink with the distant shots No room for amateurs I build my circle from the dirt Fist clenched, dreams defer But whispers turn to blades in the battle Tease a word unheard They slide through the mist Mass down the tensions, cold as steel One wrong glance and it's chaos, chaos Bullets fly no time to feel I grip the heath bump and rage For the ones who switch sides In this endless war of shadows Only the ruthless survive We ride or die, but doubt we might In the fire of the night Blocks place all peace in sight Revenge burns bright Betrayed by the closers, lost in the fight Street kings follow, we strike back Twice as tight Ooh, it's war, the mercy show Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Now it's blurring, today's the paranoia Every face a potential foe Echoes of black from the past Now I drowned in the undertow We was family, shared the scars Split the wrist, we cut a name But greed twisted his soul Now we stuntin' in my game I dodge the trap Stay set, footsteps silent on the grind Memories of fallen brothers Fuel the fury in my mind One slip, heavy silver flame Flick the air, screams collide I pull the trigger slow Watch the empire divide We ride or die, but doubt we might In the fire of the night Blocks place all peace in sight Revenge burns bright Betrayed by the closers, lost in the fight Street kings follow, we strike back Twice as tight Ooh, it's war, no mercy show Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Pulse for a breath in the storm Ghost whisper regrets Tears mixed with the rain But anger resists No turning back from the path we carved deep In a cycle of pain Like the bones under boot Heart heavy but hands steady, truth absolute Don't race on the wreckage Smoke curls from the seed Fire scattered, I leave But the vendetta's clean I stand tall amid the ruins Scars map in the soul Every lost carves a deeper hole in this fractured soul They come for the crown But I'll bury them first Whispers of peace Not quenched at thirst Rapid fire echoes high hats in my pulse In the trail of the streets We evolve or dissolve We ride or die But die we might In the fire of the night Glocks blaze, no peace in sight Revenge burns bright Back betrayed by the closers, lost in the fight Street kings follow, we strike back Twice as tight Ooh, it's war, no mercy show Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Ooh, it's war, no mercy show Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne Blood on the pavement, claiming our throne
