Lyrics
Shadows creep where the streetlights flicker low Chasing dreams in the haze where the cold winds blow Pockets empty, heart heavy with the weight I carry Dodging pitfalls, building walls, never gonna tear it From the grind in the dark, flipping fate like a coin Eyes on the prize, look at the past full of thorns Whispers of doubt echo through the night But I rise from the ashes ready for the fight Trap life pulling me under, but I break through the chains Not so hard to feel, to feel the fire in my veins While chasing, I'll surrender in this endless game From the struggle to the summit, it's my name in the flame, yeah Trap, trap life, it's a storm, my weather Betrayal cuts it deep, but I'm getting better Hate away, stumping like my heartbeat's full Surviving the chaos, always wanting more Friends to foes when the green starts to fall My heart's stagged loyalty's a ghost in the review Never coming back, nights of ambition Plotting moves in the silence Self-aggrieved, slipping, turning pain into violence Auto to my sorrow, melody of the broken Environment fade to echoes, words left unspoken War of whispers promises success in my sight But the streets hold secrets keep me up through the night Trap life pulling me under, but I break through the chains Not so hard to feel, to feel the fire in my veins While chasing, I'll surrender in this endless game From the struggle to the summit, it's my name in the flame, yeah Trap, trap life, it's a storm, my weather Betrayal cuts it deep, but I'm getting better Hate away, stumping like my heartbeat's full Surviving the chaos, always wanting more In the quiet moments, doubt creeps in like rain Questioning the cause of this relentless pain But the high hats roll on snaring my resolve Turning melancholy to triumph, watch my story evolve Trap life pulling me under, but I break through the chains Not so hard to feel, to feel the fire in my veins While chasing, I'll surrender in this endless game From the struggle to the summit, it's my name in the flame, yeah Trap, trap life, it's a storm, my weather Betrayal cuts it deep, but I'm getting better Hate away, stumping like my heartbeat's full Surviving the chaos, always wanting more Trap life pulling me under, but I break through the chains Trap life pulling me under Trap life pulling me under Trap life pulling me under, but I break through the chains Trap life pulling me under
