Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Heart in my throat Cold air, sharp lungs Feet hit that road Shadow on the run (yeah) [Verse 1] Laces tight Mind loose I don't fight I just move Every step got a threat in it Every breath got a hex in it Street black, can't track where the edge at One crack, fall fast, never get back I feel heat on my neck like a close call Like a cold hand digging in my skull, y'all I don't know what it is but it want me Heard my name in the wind when it caught me Every thought like a flare in a coal mine Every sign say "stop", I got no time [Chorus] I'm runnin' in the pitch black Can't see where I'm goin' (can't see) Something on my six, yeah I feel that pressure growin' (woah) Creepin' up slowly, watchin' me Breath on my shoulder, talkin' cheap I'm runnin' in the pitch black Pray these legs don't freeze (don't freeze) [Verse 2] Eyes wide, still blind in the deep end I hear feet in the beat right behind me, breath sync Little laughs in the gap of the silence Little scratch on the back of my eyelids Can't trust what I think, that's a trapdoor Every turn that I take, there's a last door I was raised where you never show panic But my pulse tap dance like static Whole past like a pack in the hallway Old sins tryna drag me the long way Is it me that I'm tryna outrun now? Every fear got a face in the dark, wow If I stop, do I drop to the old me? Or lock eyes with the thing that controls me? [Chorus] I'm runnin' in the pitch black Can't see where I'm goin' (can't see) Something on my six, yeah I feel that pressure growin' (pressure) Creepin' up slowly, watchin' me Breath on my shoulder, talkin' cheap I'm runnin' in the pitch black Pray these legs don't freeze (oh no) [Bridge] [Choir low, chanting under lead] Step after step I don't look back (don't look back) Name in my ear Like a cold hand tap Maybe that ghost Always been me Shadow I fed Now it chases me (yeah) [Chorus] I'm runnin' in the pitch black Can't see where I'm goin' Something on my six, yeah I feel that pressure growin' Creepin' up slowly, watchin' me Breath on my shoulder, talkin' cheap I'm runnin' in the pitch black 'Cause stoppin' might set it free (set it free)

rap, Aggressive 90s battle-rap energy over deep sub-heavy drums and sparse eerie keys; male vocals spitting double-time cadences. Hook explodes with stacked choir chants and call-and-response ad-libs, verses stay tight and percussive. Occasional tape-stop drops and filtered intros to sections to heighten the sense of being hunted in the dark., deep
