Hustler's Shadow Throne

Shadows creep where the streetlights fickle up Chasing dreams in the haze where the cold winds blow Pockets empty, heart heavy with the weight I carry Hustlin' through the night, dodgin' every snare to bury Friends turn fools when the hunger hits deep Loyalty's a ghost in the promises we keep I stack these bricks feel the tone from the ground But everyone tastes bitter leavin' scars behind Trouble like pullin' me under, face bumpin' in my veins Hotheads dancin', rap it, breakin' free from the chains From the dirt to the diamonds, I'm risin' through the pain Auto-tune my sorrow, turn it into gold again Yeah, we hustle for the crown, no surrender in sight Snare snaps echo the fight On the night trap life it's the fire And my soul boomin' low makin' broken hope Nights blend into dawns, no rest for the weary In the shadows, trading fears for the theory Of success that glimmers just out of reach My gait'll stay sharper than the lessons I preach Loves a gamble and it's concrete maze She with sweet nothings but her eyes betray the haze I flip the scripts on losses and the lessons learned Ambitions my blade, watch the empire burn Trouble like pullin' me under, face bumpin' in my veins Hotheads dancin', rap it, breakin' free from the chains From the dirt to the diamonds, I'm risin' through the pain Auto-tune my sorrow, turn it into gold again Yeah, we hustle for the crown, no surrender in sight Snare snaps echo the fight On the night trap life it's the fire And my soul boomin' low makin' broken hope Slow it down, feel the weight of the world crashin' in Indigenous echoes, but I won't let it win Voices in my head, scent waves crash like tides Survival in my head, feel the waves crash like tides Survival's the rhythm, keep the fire alive One step from the edge, but I leap into the void Panel whispers promises, but joy's what I'm destroyin' Emotional storms brewing the silence between beats Yet I rise from the ashes dancin' on my feet Praises faded, echoes of laughter turned hollow Violence lurks in the corners, yeah Swallowin' tomorrow, chase the high of the wind But the fog cuts deep, yeah Caramelized, fractured like glass under my feet From racks to the riches ambition's my guide But the streets teach a truth that no one gets In height, success is a mirror Reflectin' the cost, in this trap we all play No matter the hell Yeah, the trap life pullin' me under the blade Stumpin' in my lanes, high-hats dancin' rapid Breakin' free from the chains From the dirt to the diamonds, I'm risin' through the pain Auto-tune my sorrow, turn it into gold again Yeah, we hustle for the crown, no surrender in sight Snare snaps that go to fight on the night Trap life, it's the fire in my soul Boomin' low, makin' broken hope Fade out the lights, but the beat keeps on throbbing RX-7 whispers, but my spirit ain't jumblin' Layin' claps in the dark, synth melody soared Through the adversity, I find what I'm fightin' for One more in this endless rhyme Trap's my story, etched in the sands of time Emotions always crash but I stand tall And unbroken in the heart of the hustle My legacy's spoken Trap's my story
