Lyrics
Shadows creep on the block where the sirens never sleep Crews divided, snakes in the grass Loyalty's just the word we keep I see my brother turn eyes cold like winter rain Whispers in the dark, now it's war Feel the pain, locks tucked low Hearts beat fast in the night Rivals circle close, ready to ignite the fight One wrong move and the clip empties quick Blood on the pavement, dreams shatter like a break We're out of falling, no mercy in sight Bullet flies to island, turning day into night Super Rachel, good tracks, deeper than any blazes Revenge in my veins, pushing me to the left Drill through the silence, hear the rumble Ganglines drawn, let the chaos tumble No peace in these streets, just a hunt and a kill Survival's a game, survival's a game, and I'm good Google to the news, another name crossed out Fake smiles in the mirror but inside I'm filled with doubt They came from my spot thought they had me pinned down But I flipped the script now the ghost's in this town Echoes of laughter from the days we were tight Now it's mass and ambushes on the streetlight Fist clenched hard, trigger finger itching, every corner's a trap Every word to switch, we're out of falling, no mercy in sight Bullet flies to island, turning day into night Super Rachel, good tracks, deeper than any blazes Revenge in my veins, pushing me to the left Drill through the silence, hear the rumble Ganglines drawn, let the chaos tumble No peace in these streets, just a hunt and a kill Survival's a game, survival's a game, and I'm good Before the storm, I feel the weight Lost too many to the fire, carrying eight Voices in my head I'm not gonna let you go I'm not gonna let you go I'm not gonna let you go Screaming for the payback, one last stand No turning from the track, tears mixed with the smoke But I wipe them away This life's a battlefield Night turns to day Final warning shot rubble scattered like roaches I stand tall in the rubble no room for reproaches Then my calm discards from the cradle to the grave Trust no more fully in this world we can't save The beat drops heavy high hats roll like gunshots I'm the storm they fear tearing worlds asunder of the line for the traitors who scheme In this drill life only the strong redeem We were the fallen no mercy in sight Bullet flies out and turn the day into night Super Rachel betrays, deeper than any blazes Revenge in my veins, pushing me to the left Drill through the silence, hear the rumble Ganglines drawn, let the chaos tumble No peace in these streets, just a hunt and a kill Survival's a game survival's a game and I'm good And I'm good if I'm dead And I'm good if I'm dead
