Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Black hoodie Black gloves Slide in a stolen ride Name on a folded list Circle it Cross that line Phone buzz “we outside” Mask down Heartbeat climbs Whole block holding breath Streetlight reads the signs Red rag on the left side Blue flag on the right Old beef that the kids Grew up inheriting like a price Mama pray in the kitchen Window taped from the last strike Bullets talk in the distance Every sentence sounds like “die” [Chorus] Blood on both sides We all lose Different colors Same black suits You take one Then I take two This war don’t care about who is who Blood on both sides Stained concrete Same pain under different tees You want smoke? It comes in threes This war eats every family [Verse 2] Cousin got dropped last June Pic on a T-shirt Block balloon Candles melt in the afternoon Then we plot by the vacant room “Spin back Spin back” Voices echo in my head But I see his little brother Drawing tanks under the bed They post up at the corner store We pull up Engine low Finger sweating on the trigger Hands shaking But it don’t show One shout Then the thunder Glass rain Sirens scream Hit a stranger on the sidewalk Same school Different team [Chorus] [Bridge] Look at this chalk Man Tell me who won that Both sides carrying coffins Same church Same black I see my face in the barrel I see his in mine We ain’t rivals We mirrors Both chained to the same crime [Chorus]

Dark trap beat with detuned bells, menacing sub-bass, and sparse, snapping percussion. Male vocals, close-mic’d and dry in the verses, opening up with layered, shouted ad-libs in the hook. Chorus hits with octave-doubled lead and wide delays; occasional distorted vocal throws for tension. Arrangement stays tight and tense, ending on a cold, abrupt cutoff.
