Last One Breathing

[Intro]
Whole city on edge
Teeth grit
Jaw locked
Hands twitch
Every corner
Every shadow
Every eye
Keeps score
This the test
This the price
This the place
You pay in life
Last one breathing wins
(that’s it)
[Verse 1]
Wake up to war in my head, it don't end
Heart like a razor, I cut who pretend
Sleep with my shoes on, ready to sprint
Trust is a bullet, I chew on the spit
Mama said pray, but I talk to the dark
It answer in echo and exit wounds, scars
I measure my friends by the weight of they heart
Most of 'em light as the change in my jar
Concrete classroom, I studied the cold
Lessons in silence, they bodies on hold
See 'em on T-shirts, candles in rows
That ain't a mural, that's warning in smoke
I don't do mercy, it never did me
I did the dirt, and the dirt set me free
I took the blame they was begging to flee
Carried the crime like a chain on a leash
Every move made like the board get reset
Every step closer to cash or regret
You countin' likes while I'm countin' the debt
You playin' nice, I'm just playin' for breath
Bite on the blood in my mouth till it sweet
Pain is a anthem, it keepin' the beat
Nerves made of needles from neck to my feet
I never slip, only slide when it's meat
Eyes on the alley, I live in the scope
Pupils like tunnels, no room left for hope
You want a way out? Better carve you a road
You want a safe house? Better die for the code
I seen the liars adapt and survive
Same ones who cried when it came time to ride
You see the mask, I see fear in they eyes
I see the truth when the weak start to lie
Last one standin'? That's hunger and sin
That's cuttin' your losses, includin' your kin
That's choosin' the blade over balm on your skin
That's never forgivin' the place that you in
[Chorus]
This that game of survival
Every breath a rival
I don't pray for arrival
I just kill my denial
If it's you or me
You know how it ends
Last one breathing
Last one breathing wins
[Verse 2]
Talk about demons, I hired 'em, they work
Punch in at midnight, they lurk in the dirt
They keep the secrets I buried in shirts
Stamped with the faces that live in the church
You think it's sport, till you choke on the score
Think it's a story, I lived through the gore
You crave applause, I been craving a war
'Cause peace feel fragile, it tear at the core
I seen a brother go change for a check
I seen a killer go cry and confess
I seen a pastor go pray for a jet
So don't you quote scripture, it bend with the flex
Armor is anger, I sleep in the steel
Tongue like a hammer, I flatten what's real
Smile is a weapon I never reveal
I only grin when it's time for the kill
Voices in layers, they talk over me
One say retreat, other whisper to bleed
One say forgive, other sharpen the teeth
I let the loudest one drag me to streets
I got a problem with peace, it feel fake
I got a habit of raising the stakes
Body count high as my minimum wage
I pay with my conscience for minimum grace
You never felt hunger that gnaw through your ribs
Never felt tension that snap when you live
Never held hands with the devil you kissed
Just to avoid being dropped from the list
You never felt air so heavy with threat
Walk into rooms and you smellin' the debt
Every handshake is a silent roulette
Every favor is a future regret
They want me humble and quiet and clean
They want the beast with a collar and leash
But I got trauma that sharpen the teeth
I got a life that don't fit in they speech
So when you see me, just know what it is
I ain't your brother

rap, Aggressive trap banger with male vocals; detuned bells and eerie pads over crushing 808s and sharp, skittering hats. Verses are long, relentless double-time flows with stacked ad-libs and low-octave vocal doubles; hook is shorter, shouted, and gang-layered. Energy ramps from tense spoken intro to full-on assault by Verse 2 and 3, then drops into a cinematic, reverb-drenched outro with whispered ad-libs and distant gun-cock FX., hip hop, deep, hardcore
