Lyrics
[Intro With Dark Synths]
Shadowed streets, masked faces, the stage is set tonight
[Verse 1: Hip-Hop]
[Heavy Bass & Sharp Beats]
In the back alleys where the brave dare not tread,
Codes of silence, but tonight the streets will scream instead
Money exchanges, eyes narrow, fingers twitch on the steel,
Betrayal’s scent, thick as smoke, tonight’s deals are lethal
[Pre-Chorus: Hip-Hop]
[Synths & Lighter Beats]
Flash of muzzles, a ballet of bullets begins,
Every man for himself, as treachery spins
Blood on the bricks, cash scattered in the wind,
Echoes of gunfire, a symphony of sin
[Chorus: Hip-Hop]
[Hard Beats & Synths]
It's a double-cross game, but who’s the pawn?
Lives traded for cash, souls long gone
In this concrete jungle, only the ruthless dawn,
But at what cost, now that my life’s withdrawn?
[Verse 2: Hip-Hop]
[Bass Driven Beats]
Streets painted crimson, as leaders fall,
The echo of my heartbeat, against the city’s call
Riddled with bullets, as I stagger, then stall,
This life of shadows, was it worth it at all?
[Bridge: Transition to Soft Melody]
[Soft Piano & Strings]
The gunfire fades, my breath grows thin,
This life of chaos, engulfed in sin
[Verse 3: Melodic Soft]
[Soft Piano & Light Drumming]
Lying here, as the lights
[Verse 3: Melodic Soft]
[Soft Piano & Light Drumming]
Lying here, as the lights grow dim,
Thinking back on what could have been
A road not taken, a life of peace,
If only I’d chosen a different lease
[Chorus: Melodic Soft]
[Soft Piano & Harmonic Vocals]
If I could turn back time, I’d rewrite my fate,
Steer clear of the underworld, close that gate
Not a player in this deadly game, not a minute too late,
I'd live in the light, where hope doesn’t wait
[Outro: Melodic Soft]
[Slow Piano Melody]
As I fade away, let this be my plea,
May others find the strength to flee
From a life of darkness, to be free,
Remember me, as a cautionary tale, not just a memory
[Fade Out]
[Soft Echoing Synths]
Whispered goodbyes, a life’s final debate,
In another life, I’d choose a different fate
