Dirt to Diamonds

Shadows creep beneath crack walls Eyes lock, hands twitching for this thought Whispers turn to thunder in the night Rivals circle like bulls on the streetlight I grip a steel heart pounding like drums While I move and the silence comes undone They talk tough from afar but up close they fold Loyalty's a blade cut steeper than gold Dodging traps, laid in the haze of the smoke Every corner's a gamble, every glance a provoke Brothers turn snakes when the pressure builds high I ride for mine even if it means I die Bang, bang Echoes in the dark, rivals fall, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Slide through the pain, no time for the weak Revenge in my veins, it's the code that I keep Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown Moves from the past, guarded soul deep inside Lost kin to the fire, now I carry the tide Big plot in the alleys, scheming with greens But I see the betrayal Before it begins Fast slides on the beat, like the bass in my chest Hi-hats roll rapid, matching the stresses Pockets full of fire, ready to ignite Survival's the game and I'm playing it right Grief twists the knife, but it fuels the rage Turn tears to bullets on this violent stage No peace in the chaos, just the thrill of the hunt One shot for the fallen, leaving them stunned Bang, bang Echoes in the dark, rivals fall, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Slide through the pain, no time for the weak Revenge in my veins, it's the code that I keep Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown Slow it down, feel the weight of the loss Echoes of laughter now ghosts in the frost But the fire ignites can't let it fade For every tear shed a debt to be paid Tense air pickings, the storm's on the rise Confront the shadows, I can't let it fade There's no fear in my eyes Back at it again, with the crew holding tight Enemies scatter when they feel the bite Dark scents hum low, like the pulse of the street Every bar is a confession, raw and complete It's the poison that runs through the veins But toughness is armor breaking all chains I stand in the storm unbowed and unchained Vicarory's the language where the strong remain Bang, bang Echoes in the dark, rivals fall, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Slide through the pain, no time for the weak Revenge in my veins, it's the code that I keep Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown Slow it down, feel the weight of the loss Echoes of laughter, now ghosts in the frost Slide through the pain, no time for the weak Revenge in my veins, it's the code that I Slow it down, feel the weight of the loss Echoes of laughter, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Slide through the pain, no time for the weak Revenge in my veins, it's the code that I keep Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown Slow it down, feel the weight of the loss Echoes of laughter, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page Grim reapers calling but I ain't backing down In this endless fight, wearing the crown Slow it down, feel the weight of the loss Echoes of laughter, even permanent mocks No mercy in this war we wage Blood on the pavement, turning the page
